Performance and Highlights
Accelerating Impact
Our sustainability journey reflects a deep commitment to continuous improvement, transparency, and lasting impact. In 2024, we made important progress on key sustainability targets, including validation of our net-zero goals by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) while navigating increased activity and acquisitions.
Our absolute ESG numbers in 2024 were significantly impacted by acquisitions and higher activity, however, improving in relative terms. In 2025, we remain focused on accelerating climate action, advancing responsible resource use, and strengthening our culture of safety.
ESG Results for 2024
- SBTi Validation of Net-Zero and FLAG Targets: Our ‘Net-zero carbon emission’ and specific ‘Forest, Land, and Agriculture’ (FLAG) targets were validated by SBTi.
- More No/Low Sugar Beverages: The share of CSD volumes with no/low sugar content increased to 62% (2023: 59%).
- Higher Energy Use, Lower Intensity: Consumption of energy increased by 16% to 304 GWh (2023: 262 GWh), while energy intensity decreased by 7% to 18.7 kWh/hl (2023: 20.2).
- Increase in Renewable Energy Share: The share of renewable energy consumption increased to 54% (2023: 42%).
- Rise in Water Consumption: Consumption of water increased by 33% to 62.2 million hl (2023: 39.4 million hl), while water intensity increased to 3.2 hl/hl (2023: 3.0)
- Lower CO2 Emissions: Absolute CO2 emissions Scope 1+2 (market based) decreased by 4% to 29.1 million kgCO2 (2023: 30.2 million kgCO2), while CO2 intensity (CO2/ hL) decreased by 22% to 1.8 (2023: 2.3).
- Progress in Packaging: We achieved 95% recycled, recyclable or reusable packaging.
- Drop in LTI - Still a Concern: Lost Time Incidents frequency (LTI) decreased slightly to 12.8 per 1 million working hours (2023: 13.0), which is still not satisfactory.
Focus Areas in 2025
Our top priorities in 2025 include advancing our decarbonization roadmaps for Scope 1 and 2, while accelerating actions to reduce Scope 3 CO₂ emissions across our value chain.
We are strengthening efforts in responsible sourcing and human rights due diligence to ensure ethical and sustainable practices, alongside increased focus on water and nature stewardship. At the same time, we remain committed to continuously improving our safety performance and culture.
