Coca-Cola continues to strive for water leadership throughout its value chain
More than a main ingredient in Coca-Cola beverages, water is one of the most crucial resources essential to the health and survival of individuals, communities, and our business.
This is why The Coca-Cola Company developed and adjusted various aspects of its value chain in order to achieve water leadership status. From ensuring that raw materials are grown with efficient water use, to bottling facilities with minimal impact on the water supply, to bringing water access to water-deprived communities, and in ensuring that critical watersheds are cared for and conserved, the Company has stayed true to its commitment of returning to the communities and the environment every single drop of water used in the production of its beverages.
#nppaimages #CocaCola
The beverage company initially looked at 2020 as the year to achieve 100 percent water replenishment, but this goal was achieved in 2015. To date, Coca-Cola has returned over 330 billion liters of water to the environment and the communities through various water programs and initiatives.
In the Philippines, the Company has audited an estimated 108 percent water replenishment rate through its various programs and activities, primarily through the Agos program. Under the program, Coca-Cola provides water access to 180 communities in rural parts of the country, developed more efficient water use in all bottling facilities, and contributed in the conservation efforts of critical watersheds.

From one end of the value chain, Coca-Cola has partnered with the Department of Agriculture to bring water access to small sugar farmers in impoverished parts of the country. Sugar is one of the key ingredients in the various beverages under the Coca-Cola line.
The Agos program of Coca-Cola Philippines has provided far-flung water-deprived communities with access to safe water through simple technologies such as ram pumps that elevate water without the need for electricity, gravity installations that bring water to lowlands, and rainwater catchment facilities.
#nppaimages #CocaCola
To further serve the water-poor communities, Coca-Cola also deployed a mobile potable water treatment plant which produces 2,000 liters of potable water per day. Earlier this year, the water treatment plant has helped 4,300 internally-displaced persons (IDPS) at the Upper Hinaplanon and Buru-un School of Fisheries Evacuation Centers in Iligan City. At present, the mobile potable water plant is being deployed across various barangays in Marawi and has served water needs of 55,800 returning residents in the city.

Aside from giving back to communities, the Company returns water to nature by supporting the restoration and conservation of critical watersheds including the Ipo Watershed-Sapang Munti and the Sapinit Sub-Watershed within the Marikina Watershed.
#nppaimages #CocaCola
Despite achieving their global goal, Coca-Cola vows to continue with the commitment of returning to the community and the environment, every drop of water used in the production of its beverages.

Coke Studio returns with an amazing line up of local and international artists .
There are many things that make us feel at home – laughing and spending quality time with our favorite people, munching on our go-to comfort food along with a refreshing drink, or even listening to a song that brings back precious memories.
When we return to where we feel valued and accepted, when we’re reunited with the things and the people we love, when we look gratefully at our past experiences both good and bad, and when we remember the passions that inspire us, we come home.
These unique instances are our own moments of homecoming. When we recall a special moment, the memory comes with a tune that was playing in the background, a lyric that stood out, a beat that fit the mood, and sometimes even a Coke in hand.
With the perfect jam playing and a bottle of Coca-Cola, simple moments with our friends and family become more fun, more memorable and more uplifting.
Now, music and Coca-Cola come together once more to give young music lovers and Original Pinoy Music (OPM) artists a new home at Coke Studio Homecoming.
Juan Miguel Severo
In line with the Company’s thrust to empower the youth, Coca-Cola tapped into young Filipinos’ love for music through Coke Studio PH in 2017. Coke Studio PH became a haven where the diversity of OPM was celebrated.
This year, Coca-Cola connects to Filipino teens once again as Coke Studio PH returns to make them feel at home with the familiar sounds of OPM, giving them an avenue to show their love and support for local music.

For its second season, Coke Studio PH also further establishes itself as a hub of Pinoy talent, as it introduces a stellar lineup of local and international Filipino artists across various genres.
While the previous season brought together veteran artists and budding musicians, Coke Studio Homecoming calls Filipino artists who have shared their talents to the world to return to their roots and bridges them with homegrown talents who have yet to stand on the international stage.

From this colorful mix of talented Filipino singers and bands, Coke Studio Homecoming will feature groundbreaking, new collaborations between artists, as well as unique renditions of their original songs.
Coke Ambassadors will also find their way back home this season, as Coke Studio Homecoming features familiar faces, including the brand’s most memorable endorsers and Coke Studio artists from the first season.

“We received such an overwhelming response during the first season of Coke Studio PH and this really inspired us to work harder this second season and explore ways to take it further. Last year, Coke Studio became a home for OPM and now we want to continue and strengthen that legacy, making sure that the younger generation and the new lineup of artists can feel that same sense of belonging,” said Stephan Czypionka, Coca-Cola Philippines Vice President for Marketing.

While uniting teens through music, Coca-Cola takes it a step further by enabling them to do their part for a greater cause. This year, Coca-Cola announced an industry-first goal to collect and recycle the equivalent of every bottle or can it sells globally by 2030—a goal in line with the Company’s vision of a World Without Waste. This is why during all Coke Studio events, Coca-Cola encourages teens to deposit their PET bottles in designated recycling bins. The Coke Studio TuneCycle, a stationary bicycle that also grinds PET bottles, will also be a staple in Coke Studio events. These ground PET bottles will later on be turned into eco-bricks.

A gathering of over 7,000 members of the Youth for United World—a global organization that stemmed from the Focolare Movement in Italy in 1943—is an inspiring premonition of how the future generation will be as stewards of the planet.
GenFest 2018 focused on various activities and causes that, as the saying goes, “brings back our faith in humanity.” For starters, the organization is known as one that espouses consciousness among its members – mindful of the impact of their actions on the community, their families, and the environment.
Coca-Cola Philippines, in line with its thrust of empowering the youth, supported the organization.
“The youth of today are the future stewards of the planet, and it is a great opportunity to be partnering with them in sharing our vision of a more sustainable world. We hope that through partnerships like these, Coca-Cola becomes an ally of the youth as we contribute in finding better solutions to the various concerns of the communities and the environment,” said Samantha Sanchez, Coca-Cola Philippines Public Affairs and Communications manager.
Coca-Cola associates join in cleaning the coasts of the Las Piñas-Parañaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area (LPPCHEA).
More than supporting the event, associates of Coca-Cola Philippines also joined the youth organization for a clean-up drive in a nature reserve off the coast of Manila Bay – one of the last few habitats for migratory birds and resident herons and kingfishers.
The islands that dot the Cavite-Laguna Expressway are some of the few wildlife reserves in Metro Manila. Collectively known as the Las Piñas-Paranaque Critical Habitat and Ecotourism Area (LPPCHEA), the islands that were originally part of a planned reclamation in the area have become a wildlife sanctuary that is home to a mangrove forest for both resident and migratory birds.
Coca-Cola associates collect sacks of single-use plastic and other discarded items like bags and shoes during the clean-up drive.
However, beneath the lush greenery of the islands and its thriving avifauna is a tragic story – the island also serves as a shorefront for various plastic waste that float in Manila Bay, the Paranaque River, and the Estero de Tripa de Gallina – bodies of water that have become channels for waste.
“In line with our global goal to work towards a World Without Waste, we are supporting various organizations that can help us turn this dream into a reality. No matter how small the act may be, it’s one positive action that can create ripples as we continue to strive and find ways to solve the global problem on waste,” said Sanchez.
Together with GenFest 2018, over 2,000 youth and associates of Coca-Cola Philippines picked up various kinds of trash, most of which are post-consumption waste and single-use plastic.
The Bukas Palad Foundation, one of the clean-up drive partners, along with the rest of the GenFest committee, reported that 278 sacks of single-use plastic, laminates and Styrofoam, 180 sacks of recyclable plastic bottles, 205 sacks of rubber, and 22 sacks of glass were collected despite the onslaught of the southwestern monsoon, or habagat.
Despite the torrential rains, these young GenFest participants continue to collect trash along the coasts of LPPCHEA.
Early this year, The Coca-Cola Company announced its goal of a World Without Waste in the midst of the growing consciousness of the global problem on waste. The goal seeks the retrieval of every bottle that the beverage brand produces. Acknowledging its role in the problem, the Company is working with various non-profit organizations, local communities, and government agencies in finding ways to breathe a second life into the post-consumption waste created by their products.
Coca-Cola Philippines will continue to work with the youth in its bid to achieve the goal of a World Without Waste.
