Performance
Coca-Cola Amatil is committed to accurately and transparently reporting our environmental performance across the group.
CCA's data collection forms the basis for identifying opportunities to improve performance. Operational data is collected at the plant level to enable specific areas for improvement to be identified and change to be implemented.
Aggregation of data to the country and group level has been restricted due to inconsistencies in site reporting. Currently this is being addressed with the objective of publicly reporting reliable data at a group level.
In 2006, CCA will publish its first standalone Corporate Social Responsibility Report, which will cover its operations in Australia, Pacific (New Zealand & Fiji), South Korea, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. As part of this reporting process, CCA will be collating detailed data from each country. This process will assist us in achieving our goal of consistent environmental reporting across all key CCA sites at both a group and country level.
Independent Survey Participation
CCA regularly participates in independent surveys, which assess CCA's commitment to environmental, social and community initiatives.
Dow Jones Sustainability Index
Launched in 1999, the Dow Jones Sustainability Index was the first global index to track the financial performance of the leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide. The index assesses leading companies based on a set of economic, environmental and social criteria.
CCA has been included in the portfolio of sustainable companies since 2002. In 2005, CCA achieved an overall score of 63%, which represents an 8% increase on our 2004 result and is 10% above the average score achieved.
The index is prepared by Sustainability Asset Management (SAM). To find out more about SAM please visit their website.
