A global business with local heritage and execution


WEBWIRE

At CCEP, we are a global business with a strong local footprint.

Our philosophy? Make it where we sell it. From where we source ingredients, to how we create value for our 4 million customers - our local heritage and execution shows up in everything we do. 

In many of our markets, Coca-Cola has been refreshing consumers for over a century. And behind every bottle, is a local person, with local passion. Scroll below to see how this approach comes to life:  

Our sites: local people and investment  

We have 90 production sites across our 31 markets, each employing people living in the local area. And it is in our sites where we focus much of our investment. In 2025 we announced a €150 million innovation investment in our Grigny site in France. Meaning our full range of returnable glass bottles will be made locally, and helping transform Grigny into a local hub of manufacturing excellence.  

We recently announced the opening of a new manufacturing plant in Tarlac City, in the Philippines. It will be one of the biggest manufacturing sites and most significant infrastructure investments to date, and is expected to create hundreds of jobs in the surrounding area.

And in Australia, we’re investing $75 million in a new canning line at our Queensland site, boosting the region’s manufacturing sector and supporting local jobs.   

Investments like these not only make us a major local employer, but also a significant contributor to the local economy. In fact, for every €1 spent by consumers on Coca-Cola beverages, €0.80 remains in Europe and Asia-Pacific in the form of income1. Highlighting both our significant support for local value chains, and our resilience to geopolitical disruptions.  

GB

In GB, Coca-Cola’s footprint contributes £4.2 billion annually to the economy2. We directly employ over 3,000 people, with every job supporting 13 more across our supply chain.

Spain

In Spain, we invest around €1.5 billion in the purchase of goods and services from Spanish suppliers. 

Our great brands: responding to local taste preferences

We make, move and sell iconic global brands like Coca-Cola, Sprite and Fanta – and at the same time, cater to local tastes. Think Mezzo Mix in Germany, Urge in Norway and L&P in New Zealand.  

Working closely with The Coca-Cola Company, our local teams have an expert understanding of what consumers want. They’re always tuned in to new data, trends and insights. They help guide our new product, pack and flavour development, ensuring we are hitting the spot in every market. Ultimately helping to create more value for our customers. 

In Belgium, we produce a sparkling Fuze Tea – as we know that roughly 45% of the ready-to-drink (RTD) tea category is sparkling.And same goes for pack formats, where multipacks are particularly popular among consumers in Belgium, so we offer a 6-pack of Fuze Tea. 

But where does this knowledge come from? That’s where our great innovation comes in. In many markets we run studies featuring a “virtual shelf”, asking consumers what their shopping choices would be.

One of these studies led to the 2025 launch of an 850ml PET bottle in Germany. Knowing the recent increase in smaller households and rising demand for compact packs, our teams responded quickly.

We give consumers what they want, helping our customers grow at the same time. 

Our ingredients: sourcing locally

Over 90% of the drinks we sell are produced in the country they are consumed, using local ingredients. In 2024, 84% of our spend was with suppliers based in our countries of operation3.

Sugar is a prime example of this. In many of our markets. it is 100% sourced locally. In Australia, we have a booming sugar cane industry with more than 4,000 cane-growing businesses; 95% of which are located in Queensland. 

And it’s not just ingredients – we go local with packaging too.

Plastic and packaging 

In many markets, 100% of our corrugated packaging is produced locally. 

Glass

Glass packaging is typically produced locally, as manufacturers use nearby raw materials like sand, silica, and recycled glass.

rPET

In Indonesia, we’ve set up the Amandina PET recycling facility and the Mahija Foundation with Dynapack Asia. Together, these initiatives will give us the capacity to produce 25,000 tons of recycled PET per year, for use within Indonesia. At the same time, supporting the local informal waste collection community with stable employment, social care and responsible waste management practices.

Our local communities: supporting the people and areas  where we operate

We don’t just work in our local communities – we give back to them. In fact in 2024, we invested €15 million in our local communities.  

In Australia, we partner with the Warrior Women Foundation to mentor young women leaving out-of-home care, helping them build skills for the future. And in Norway, we work with the Red Cross to equip young people with job-readiness skills.

We also empower our people to give back through our volunteering initiative, encouraging volunteering during work hours. In 2024, our employees gave over 41,800 hours to local causes. 

From people to the planet - our local support extends to the environments in which we operate. In Indonesia, we expanded our WASH+ programme in Kutamaneuh Village - improving sanitation, nutrition, and supporting small-scale agriculture and waste management businesses.
