We’re determined to make a positive difference both in our workplaces and in our local communities. Ensuring our people’s and our communities’ wellbeing and safety is our priority.
Our success is only possible due to the passion and commitment of the 22,000 talented people who work with us. Our vision is to be an organisation where everyone´s welcome to be themselves, be valued and belong - including different thinking, experiences and backgrounds in all that we do.
We are committed to building a diverse workforce and encouraging an inclusive culture. This covers all areas of diversity, including gender, culture and heritage, multi generations, LGBT+ and disability.
Our actions on society helps to support UN Sustainable Development Goal 5 and UN Sustainable Development Goal 8.
We are pleased that we were able to award CCEP, a LGBT+ diversity champion, with the pride 500 employer seal. With its internal and external commitment, the company sets an example for more equal opportunities for lesbians, gays, bisexual, transgender/ transsexual plus people in the workplace.

We believe that encouraging diversity of ideas, thinking and experience leads to better ways of working and better business results.
Our progress in 2020
Our stories
To help us celebrate Pride month in June 2020, our #Justbe ambassadors in GB hosted a virtual Pride party, and our colleagues at our German headquarters raised the rainbow flag in support of the LGBTQ+ community. In Spain, employees were invited to have a virtual Coke with our Diversity Allies working on LGBTQ+ issues, whilst in Sweden we launched #allaärvälkomna, our local inclusion and diversity group.
In Portugal in 2020, we supported the third edition of BORA Mulheres, a female entrepreneurship training programme run by Impact Hub Lisbon. More than 200 women enrolled in expert training sessions, which were held online due to COVID-19.
In GB, we have been certified as a “Disability Confident Leader”. This is the highest tier in the British government’s Disability Confident Programme, which encourages employers to think differently about disability and take action to improve how they recruit, retain and develop disabled people.
In our manufacturing site at Les Pennes-Mirabeau in France, we are piloting an innovative anti-collision system to reduce the risk of accidents in working environments where vehicles and pedestrians share the same space. Fork lift trucks are fitted with a system that detects the location of pedestrians and other vehicles in real time and emits visual and audible warning signals if people and vehicles get too close. Following the installation of the system, our site recorded more than 800 working days without an accident.
