Coca Cola is a ‘Water Champion’

Lisburn company Coca-Cola Hellenic Northern Ireland is one of the companies that helped swell the ranks of the Consumer Council’s Water Champions Award Scheme by saving vast quantities of water and money off their bills.

Coca-Cola, which has the capacity to produce 1.5 million litres of beverages each day, has saved the equivalent of 800 million cans of coca cola through a variety of sustainability projects including water re-use programs, the appointment of workplace environment champions and the installation of sensors on water devices, which have led to a 30% reduction in water use since 2008.

Louise Wilson, Environment Manager, Coca-Cola Hellenic Northern Ireland said: “We take water conservation very seriously, we use borehole water and as such it is extremely important that we preserve our source water for the future and for the local communities in which we operate.

“We continually strive to reduce the amount of water used to produce our beverages by making both technical and behavioural improvements within our system.”
