We combine the strength and scale of a large, multi-national business with an expert, local knowledge of the customers we serve and communities we support.
Our business generates over €15 billion in revenue, selling more than 3 billion unit cases.
At the heart of everything we do is a simple but vital purpose, which we share with The Coca-Cola Company - to refresh Europe, the Pacific and Indonesia and make a difference.
Where We Operate
We are a global business, with a broad and balanced geographic footprint, serving customers in 29 countries. Many of these are developed markets where our successful playbook can ensure we continue to grow. We also operate in Indonesia - an exciting, developing market.
We invest, employ, manufacture and distribute locally, maintaining a strong commitment to our communities.
What we do
We help our 1.75 million customers grow through the quality of the service we provide, our understanding of their businesses, the strength of our salesforce and the value our products create. In doing this, we help delight more than 600 million consumers with our great drinks every day.
And we’re exploring new ways of getting our products to consumers - looking to the future, making the most of technology and working with our customers and other partners to do this.
Everything we do made is possible by the partnerships we’ve built with brand owners, suppliers, shareholders, stakeholders and communities and the passion and commitment of our 33,200 people.
Who we are
Our success is defined by the passion, hard work and commitment of the 33,200 people who work at CCEP. We have a world class frontline salesforce who are dedicated to delivering the best possible service to all our customers.
We bring together our combined, diverse experience of different markets, cultures and consumers to go further together.
We want CCEP to be a great place to work, where people can grow, be happy and be well in a safe, open, diverse and inclusive workplace. And we’re investing to make sure our people have the tools and capabilities needed to win.
Products
Our diverse portfolio is built on our core brands like Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Light, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Fanta, Sprite and Monster and targeted expansion into categories like coffee and alcohol.
We offer low and no sugar options and while working to reduce the environmental impact of our manufacturing, distribution and packaging.
Sustainability
We’re changing the way we run our business and create our drinks to limit our impact on the climate and environment, and give back to the communities we work in. Central to that is our ambition to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, Australia, the Pacific and Indonesia by 2040.
Our combined sustainability ambitions address key actions on:
