The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) is committed to addressing the challenges posed by climate change across its entire value chain—from ingredient sourcing to product distribution. As climate impacts intensify, including water stress in key regions, TCCC is dedicated to reducing its carbon, water, and waste footprints and collaborating with suppliers and partners to drive sustainable change.

This summit focused on envisioning the Net-Zero Plant of the Future, exploring the innovative technologies and sustainable solutions needed to achieve substantial reductions in natural resource usage and environmental impact. The goal was to identify actionable steps to design and operate facilities that align with TCCC’s vision of a low-impact, resource-efficient future.

In response to the global pandemic, the 2020 Summit was held virtually over three days, combining on-demand presentations with live breakout sessions. This interactive format allowed TCCC’s global teams to safely collaborate with technology providers, discussing tailored solutions for a sustainable future.

The Coca-Cola Company was represented by over 200 executives, including team members from HQ and bottling partners across EMEA, Americas, and Asia Pacific. Together, they explored forward-thinking strategies and solutions to build a resilient, low-carbon operational model that meets the demands of today’s climate-conscious market.
