The scenarios assume the use of higher carbon prices across CCEP markets to price and penalise GHG emissions, including those linked to packaging materials, to drive decarbonisation. | Low | | Market | Consumer awareness of environmental impact drives a shift towards more sustainable, lower-emission alternative products and services. The scenarios assume that consumer preferences will shift towards packaging options that are perceived to be more sustainable, transforming market demand. | Low | | Technology | Regulation or market forces could result in the phasing out of fossil fuel and fossil fuel dependent equipment and vehicles. This could result in carbon-intensive assets becoming devalued and stranded, resulting in impairment and asset write-offs. CCEP has a limited proportion of equipment or assets that depend directly on fossil fuels, with our own fleet assets the primary driver of risk. | Low | | Reputation | Levels of consumer activism could be influenced by how much climate action is taken by the beverage sector and by CCEP. This assumes a potential gross risk if CCEP falls behind the beverage sector, causing increased consumer activism relative to our competitors. This assessment does not include packaging changes likely to be required by legislation across the sector. | Low | [Forward on Climate](index=38&type=section&id=Forward%20on%20climate) CCEP is committed to decarbonizing its entire business, aiming for Net Zero by 2040 with a 30% GHG emissions reduction by 2030, supported by a €300 million investment, low-carbon plans, supplier engagement, and renewable electricity - CCEP aims for Net Zero by 2040 and a **30% absolute GHG emissions reduction by 2030** (vs. 2019), supported by a **€300 million investment plan** (2020-2022)[192](index=192&type=chunk)[195](index=195&type=chunk)[196](index=196&type=chunk) - The company is developing low-carbon transition plans, embedding carbon projections into business plans, and piloting an internal carbon price of **€100/tCO2e** in Europe[197](index=197&type=chunk)[198](index=198&type=chunk) - Over **90% of value chain GHG emissions** are from the supply chain; CCEP requires **~200 carbon strategic suppliers** to set science-based targets and use **100% renewable electricity**[200](index=200&type=chunk) - Packaging accounts for **38% of GHG emissions**; CCEP reduces this by lightweighting, increasing recycled content (**48.5% rPET in 2022**), and aiming to stop using oil-based virgin plastic by 2030[201](index=201&type=chunk) - Operations and commercial sites account for **12% of carbon footprint**; CCEP invested **~€24.8 million in 2022** in energy, logistics, and carbon-saving technologies, achieving **100% renewable electricity purchase in Europe since 2018**[203](index=203&type=chunk)[205](index=205&type=chunk)[208](index=208&type=chunk)[209](index=209&type=chunk) - CCEP is transitioning its car and van fleet to electric/ultra-low emission vehicles by 2030 (**20% in 2022**) and improving distribution networks through warehouse capacity, rail transport, and alternative fuels[214](index=214&type=chunk)[215](index=215&type=chunk)[216](index=216&type=chunk)[217](index=217&type=chunk) - Emissions from cold drink equipment (CDE) represent **19% of carbon footprint**; CCEP reduced CDE energy use by **3%** and fleet size by **8% in 2022**, with all new coolers using hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-free refrigerants[218](index=218&type=chunk) [Forward on Packaging](index=42&type=section&id=Forward%20on%20packaging) CCEP's packaging strategy focuses on reducing waste, achieving 100% circularity, and lowering its carbon footprint through removing unnecessary packaging, innovating refillable solutions, increasing recycled content, and driving collection via DRS - CCEP's packaging strategy aims to reduce packaging use, ensure **100% collection, reuse, or recycling**, and lower the carbon footprint (**38% of total value chain carbon footprint**)[221](index=221&type=chunk) - Life cycle analysis (LCA) informs decisions, showing **100% rPET has up to ~70% lower carbon footprint** than virgin PET.
