In Kazakhstan, we are among nine members of the national beverage association to sign an industry pledge to reduce average added sugar in our drinks by 10% by the end of 2026. And we support guidelines released by the Health Ministry of Türkiye and Federation of Food and Drink Industry Associations of Türkiye to reduce sugar in nonalcoholic beverages and certain food categories by 10% by 2025. In Europe, we are leading the soft drinks industry in voluntarily committing to sugar reduction. Together with peers through the industry association UNESDA Soft Drinks Europe, we have reduced average added sugars in soft drinks by 28.6% across the European Union and United Kingdom since 2000. In June 2021, as part of the EU Code of Conduct for Responsible Food Business and Marketing Practices, we joined a UNESDA Soft Drinks Europe pledge to reduce the sugar in our drinks by an additional 10% by 2025, which will represent a 33% average sugar reduction when completed by 2025 compared to 2000. The European soft drinks sector is the only sector to have made an additional sugar reduction commitment under the EU Code of Conduct.

The European soft drinks sector is the only sector to have made an additional sugar reduction commitment under the EU Code of Conduct. EUROPE By 2025, we aim for 50% of the drinks we sell in Europe to be low- and no-calorie drinks (we’re currently at 45%) in support of the EU Commission’s Farm-to-Fork strategy to accelerate the transition to sustainable food systems. UNITED STATES We’re offering more low- and no- calorie options in more places. For example, 99.7% of U.S. outlets carry our low- and zero-sugar SKUs—and, on average, 24 zero-sugar sparkling soft drink SKUs are found per store.

We only use sugar alternatives that have been thoroughly tested through scientific studies and confirmed as safe by globally recognized food safety authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and F ood Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ). When used as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle, we believe the science shows that sugar alternatives can help meet public health recommendations to reduce added sugar. Additionally, food additives such as non-sugar sweeteners help make food systems more sustainable by both reducing sugar and lowering our carbon emissions. Our recent efforts have focused on collaborating with an ecosystem of suppliers and research organizations to develop, continuously improve and commercially scale stevia and other naturally derived sugar alternatives. A global list of more than 70 published journal articles dating back to 2008, reflecting research we have directly funded or authored, can be found on our website. We continue to use our marketing to drive growth of our low- and no-calorie portfolio. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar has delivered double- digit volume growth in five of the last six years.

CEO MESSAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARYCONTENTS AGRICULTUREPORTFOLIO DATA APPENDIXPACKAGING FRAMEWORKSWATER OPERATIONSCLIMATE PEOPLEOUR COMPANY Our commitment to offering more consumer choice includes our expansion into the fast- growing alcohol ready-to-drink (ARTD) market. In 2022, we launched Jack Daniel’s & Coca-Cola in Mexico, with more markets to follow in 2023 through our relationship with Brown-Forman. Jack Daniel’s & Coca-Cola joins our growing portfolio of ARTD offerings including Lemon-Dou, Topo Chico Hard Seltzer and Schweppes Pre-Mixed Cocktails. In the United States, we authorize third parties to produce and sell Topo Chico Hard Seltzer, Simply Spiked Lemonade and Fresca Mixed. We take the new responsibilities that come with our entry in this space very seriously. Recognizing the risks associated with alcohol consumption, we created guardrails outlined in our Global Policy on Alcohol Responsibility to ensure we grow our alcohol brands in a responsible and sustainable way. The policy articulates our commitment to: 1. E nsure the responsible marketing of our alcohol brands; 2.

The policy articulates our commitment to: 1. E nsure the responsible marketing of our alcohol brands; 2. Support local responsible consumption partnerships and communications programs to help reduce the harmful use of alcohol; 3. Provide tools and information to enable people to make informed choices; and 4. Enable our employees and partners to be ambassadors for responsible consumption. Our responsible alcohol marketing policy determines how we innovate and bring to market ARTD brands. This policy has been reviewed by the World Federation of Advertisers and endorsed by the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking. At the heart of our approach is ensuring that our alcohol brands are only directed at adults over the legal purchasing age who choose to drink, and encouraging only drinking in moderation. This means our brands will never be directed to minors below the legal purchasing age. We run regular trainings for our people and our partners, and always apply the appropriate safeguards across all channels of communications and sales. In 2022, we joined the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking (IARD), a consortium of leading beer, wine and spirits producers committed to reducing harmful drinking and promoting moderation through robust responsibility standards.

In 2022, we joined the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking (IARD), a consortium of leading beer, wine and spirits producers committed to reducing harmful drinking and promoting moderation through robust responsibility standards. In Brazil, we are working with three NGO partners on the Pega Leve (“Take it Easy”) program, which promotes moderation by communicating the risks of drinking and driving and excessive consumption, with a focus on 18- to 29-year-olds. The Coca-Cola Company is also a member of Drinkwise in Australia and Drinkaware in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, which are independent not-for- profit organizations that work with partners and members to reduce alcohol-related harm in those countries. 35 THE COCA-COLA COMPANY 2022 BUSINESS & SUSTAINABILITY REPORT MORE INFORMATION FOR MORE INFORMED DECISIONS We are committed to providing transparent nutrition information about all of our products, in line with local regulations, so consumers can make informed decisions. We were the first beverage company to place calorie information on the front of nearly all our packaging worldwide. Today, we provide nutrition information on product labels, with the exception of certain returnable bottles, fountain beverages and waters (unsweetened, unflavored).

Today, we provide nutrition information on product labels, with the exception of certain returnable bottles, fountain beverages and waters (unsweetened, unflavored). For these beverage and packaging types, we offer nutrition information through websites and consumer hotlines. RESPONSIBLE MARKETING We respect the role of parents and caregivers as the primary decision-makers for what their children drink, and we do not market any of our products directly to children under 13, regardless of nutritional profile. Effective January 1, 2022, we raised the age threshold from under 12 to under 13 and reduced the audience threshold from 35% to 30%. This means we will not place our marketing or advertising in any media, platform or event where more than 30% of the audience is under 13. Our policy goes beyond media and includes packaging, in-store and point of sale. Our approach is consistent with the International Chamber of Commerce Marketing & Advertising Code and its Framework for Responsible Food and Beverage Marketing Communication. We hold everyone involved in our marketing and communications accountable to our Global Responsible Marketing Policy, from employees and bottling partners to agency and media partners.

We hold everyone involved in our marketing and communications accountable to our Global Responsible Marketing Policy, from employees and bottling partners to agency and media partners. We are a founding member of the International Food & Beverage Alliance (IFBA), a group of leading companies that self-regulate globally on responsible marketing to children. Additionally, we collaborate with industry peers at regional and local levels to scale collective action in responsible marketing pledge programs. SMALLER PACKAGING People can enjoy our drinks in sizes that help control portions and added sugar intake. These include 7.5-oz. mini cans and 8-oz. glass bottles in many markets. We continue to expand availability of these packages and introduce newer offerings, including 150-ml mini cans and 250-ml slim cans, so people can enjoy the same great tastes in sizes that are right for them. In 2022, we kicked off a pilot of a Coca-Cola Freestyle compact fountain dispenser at on-the- go and at-work locations in France, Belgium, Great Britain and the Netherlands. In addition to giving consumers an expanded array of personalized, on-demand beverage choices—including low- and no-calorie options—the innovation helps reduce our carbon and packaging footprints.

SECTIONSCOPE: In this section, our packaging strategy refers to actions by the company as well as our owned and independent bottling partners and our independent suppliers and partners. Packaging WORKING TOWARD A WORLD WITHOUT WASTE We recognize our responsibility to help solve complex plastic waste challenges facing our planet and society. That’s why, in 2018, we launched an ambitious strategy called World Without Waste to drive systemic change through a circular economy for our packaging. World Without Waste is a global sustainable packaging platform focused on measurable and interconnected goals, each of which are supported by additional targets: • M aking 100% of our packaging recyclable globally by 2025—and using at least 50% recycled material in our packaging by 2030 (DESIGN); • C ollecting and recycling a bottle or can for each one we sell by 2030 (COLLECT); • B ringing people together to support a healthy, debris-free environment (PARTNER).

Local teams are executing in ways appropriate for their markets, and we are using a networked approach to deliver impact at scale. Our work has also shown us where the major challenges are, and some of our markets will have challenges meeting goals as quickly as others. Because packaging accounts for approximately 30% of our carbon footprint, nearly all of our World Without Waste efforts align with our 2030 science-based climate target and net zero ambition. When we lightweight our packaging, incorporate more recycled and bio-based material, invest in local recycling programs and increase our use of reusable packaging, we can reduce both waste and our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

When we lightweight our packaging, incorporate more recycled and bio-based material, invest in local recycling programs and increase our use of reusable packaging, we can reduce both waste and our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. WORLD WITHOUT WASTE: DESIGN Our Packaging  Portfolio We deliver our beverages in a variety of packaging formats—from glass and PET bottles, to aluminum cans, to refillable packaging. Just as we offer drink choices for a range of occasions, our packaging portfolio gives consumers multiple ways to enjoy our brands conveniently and safely. Since glass, aluminum and PET plastic are all recyclable materials, they all can play a role in a circular economy. Refillable packages, both glass and plastic, can have the lowest carbon footprints of our packaging options. PET packages with recycled content can have a lower carbon footprint than aluminum and glass, which require more energy to produce, recycle and transport. • In Scotland, Costa Limited (“Costa”) carried out a 14-store pilot of an on-the-go reusable cup scheme, which invited consumers to rent a cup by scanning a QR code before enjoying their drink and then returning the cup for it to be washed and reused.

The effort supports Costa’s global goal for 25% of its drinks to be served in reusable or refillable packaging by 2030. We tailor our refillable packaging approach by market, based on local conditions. In 2023, we launched an end-to-end refillables operations guide to help local teams implement more effective strategies and plans. Our Design goals establish a foundation for enabling a circular economy for our packaging materials. Creating a circular economy requires designing out waste by using, collecting and reusing recycled materials, which have inherent value. It also means embracing refillable and fountain/dispensed packaging solutions. REFILLABLE PACKAGING Reusable packaging can reduce single-use packaging waste. Expanding refillable packaging options helps ensure high levels of collection of beverage containers. In 2022, we were proud to announce an industry-leading goal to have at least 25% of our beverage volume worldwide sold in refillable/returnable glass or plastic bottles or in fountain dispensers with reusable packaging by 2030.

We continue to test and scale returnable glass bottle (RGB) and reusable PET pilot programs, including: • In LatinAmerica, the “Let’s Be Different” campaign kicked off on World Environment Day 2022, inviting consumers to trade any recyclable PET bottle for a refillable bottle of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar. In Brazil, returnable, refillable PET bottles of Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite can be returned, cleaned and refilled up to 25 times. The package gives shoppers an affordable option and drives repurchase rates. • In France, a 250-ml returnable glass bottle (RGB) launched in hotels, restaurants and cafes for Fuze Tea, Tropico, Sprite, Fanta and Minute Maid. Additionally, Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar are now offered in RGBs nationwide, eliminating more than 15 million single-use glass bottles in 2022. • In the UnitedStates, a 500-ml returnable glass bottle pilot program in approximately 100 retail and foodservice outlets in El Paso, Texas, generated a 75% return rate, and we are exploring expansion capabilities in 2023.

Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite are offered in the 750-ml bottles, which feature paper labels and aluminum caps. • In Sweden, we are collaborating with Reitan Convenience on a reusable packaging pilot in Stockholm. Shoppers who visit the sustainability- focused PDX store can choose from more than 60 fountain beverages, many of which are not available in bottles or cans. Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own refillable vessels or purchase a reusable stainless steel tumbler.

We are pursuing this goal, which represents about 20% of our virgin plastic use, through more than 150 lightweighting projects and advancements on use of recycled and renewable materials. In 2022, we avoided around half a million metric tons of virgin plastic usage through these efforts with an incremental avoidance of over 50,000 metric tons since last year.

In 2022, we avoided around half a million metric tons of virgin plastic usage through these efforts with an incremental avoidance of over 50,000 metric tons since last year. However, growth of plastic packaging has outpaced efforts on lightweighting and use of recycled content, so that we have not reduced our use of virgin plastic overall. MOVING TOWARD 100% rPET1 Demand for recycled PET plastic for food-grade applications currently exceeds supply, so we need to help build a sustainable pipeline of high-quality material. We work with communities to boost PET recycling and collection; collaborate with recycling partners; and secure rPET to help ensure material for our bottles is used again and again. In recent years, system partners and suppliers have announced significant investments, both individually and through joint ventures, to boost the global rPET infrastructure. Many investments are coming online in the next two years and will change the rPET landscape, particularly in Asia. We continue to work with industry peers to advocate for government regulations permitting the use of rPET in food and beverage packaging.

Around the world, many of our biggest brands are taking major steps to support a circular economy for plastic packaging. More than 40 markets currently offer at least one brand in 100% rPET packaging. A few highlights from 2022 include: • In the UnitedStatesandCanada, we recently began offering the majority of DASANI bottles— from 20-oz. and 1.5-liter singles to 10-oz. and 12-oz. multipacks—in 100% rPET plastic. The shift supports the DASANI brand's pledge to remove the equivalent of 2 billion virgin plastic bottles from production by 2027 compared to 2021 levels. The announcement followed the launch of 100% rPET bottles in New York, California and Texas, which also included Coca-Cola 20- oz. bottles. Bold, on-pack labels drive consumer awareness with “100% Recycled Bottle” and “Recycle Me Again” calls to action. • Eigh t markets in Europe ( Austria, Belgium, Iceland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland) offer their entire locally produced portfolios in 100% rPET.

SustainableInnovation We continue to deliver breakthrough technologies to lightweight our plastic packaging: Label-lessbottles are now available across a range of brands in Japan, South Korea and China. Laser engraving technology used directly on the bottle helps improve recyclability and reduce carbon emissions. Our technology is being licensed for a 30% plant-basedplasticbottle to a company building a commercial facility in Germany, which is scheduled to deliver material in 2024. A 100% plant-basedplasticbottleprototype has been developed with plans to explore scalability of a 100% biobased PET resin and bottle (bottle, not cap and label). Biobased plastic packaging can have a lower carbon footprint than petroleum- based packaging. Bottles with tetheredcaps, which enable bottles and caps to be collected together for recycling, are being piloted for our entire portfolio in Germany, Bulgaria and Italy.

Delivering a circular economy will require significant and urgent improvement in waste management and recycling systems around the world. Preserving the inherent economic value of our packaging—and ensuring circularity— requires robust collection and recycling systems across packaging types. Collection challenges vary, as every country has unique governments, regulatory environments and consumer behaviors. Though some countries have high recycling rates across packaging types, in many regions the recycling rate for PET bottles lags that of some other materials. While we continue to focus on national collection rates, in 2022, with input from key external stakeholders, we updated our collection tracking guidance to account for material collected through system- led efforts.

The coalition has published guiding principles and key design parameters for optimal EPR programs. In the United States, we’re making progress one community at a time, through our industry initiative Every Bottle Back.

As of November 2022, the initiative has launched over 25 projects which are projected to collect and capture nearly 700 million pounds of PET over ten years. We also work with peers and partners to advocate for legislation that enables a circular economy, like a recent EPR law passed in Colorado and minimum recycled content laws passed in California, Washington and New Jersey. However, collection rates in the United States trail those of many other countries, and we know there is much more work to do. Ensuring respect for the human rights of vulnerable workers in the informal waste sector is an important pillar of our Collection efforts. Over the last two years, we have partnered with industry peers and Tearfund, an NGO advocating for improved livelihoods for informal waste sector workers, on the Fair Circularity Initiative to develop human rights principles and guidelines for engaging with the informal waste collection industry. For more information, see the Human Rights section.

Additional2022highlights: • In the Philippines, we partnered with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority to pilot a certified skills training program for workers in the informal waste collection sector. These workers have access to training, tools and equipment for efficient waste collection and connections to materials recovery facilities (MRF) that buy the waste that is collected. We also are creating more than 2,000 collection hubs in sari-sari (convenience) stores and other retail outlets where community members can drop off used, clear PET bottles in return for incentives. Participating retailers earn income from selling collected PET bottles to waste management companies and recyclers. Similar programs are in place in Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. • In Brazil, SustentaPET collection centers take in more than 700,000 PET bottles a day to produce recycled resin that ultimately becomes new packaging. In its first three years, the program has recycled more than 83,000 metric tons of PET—and will expand to additional states in 2023.

As a Strategic Partner we support the Foundation’s mission to develop and promote a circular economy beyond our work on plastics and deepen our engagement globally, regionally and locally. We have been working with the Foundation on plastics across a range of projects and initiatives, including as a signatory to their Global Commitment in collaboration with the UN Environment Programme. In the past couple of years, we increased our ambition and set virgin plastics reduction and reusable packaging targets. In September 2022, we also joined the Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty convened by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and WWF , and we have an active role as a Co-Chair of the Coalition’s Policy Working Group. Over 80 organizations, including businesses from across the plastics value chain, financial institutions and NGOs, are supporting the development of an ambitious, effective and legally binding UN treaty to end plastic pollution—which will set common goals, rules and obligations for member states, and in turn, for businesses. Through a shared vision we believe that a legally binding treaty must set the right enabling conditions to successfully scale a circular economy for plastic and end plastic pollution, and in doing so, will level the playing field across countries and industries.

With targets for both 2025 and 2030, in 2023 we are taking stock of our current status across markets to ensure our local teams have the plans and investments in place to continue to make progress. Our experience in a handful of markets that are already achieving high performance against specific goals, or the full suite of targets, indicates that these goals can be met. However, we are not currently on track to meet the World Without Waste targets for 2030. Package design and the use of recycled materials are areas that are ultimately in our control, but costs, quality, technology and consumer preferences are dynamic factors that affect our ability and timelines for implementation. The key challenge for us is collection for recycling of beverage packaging, which is the key step to ensure a functioning circular economy. We will continue to invest in innovation for the small percentage of our packaging that currently has recycling challenges, including juice pouches, opaque packaging currently used for dairy beverages, and cartons. And, we will invest in new recycling technologies for PET plastic and other packaging materials.

In 2022, 88% of all new coolers placed were HFC-free. This is an increase from 61% of coolers placed in 2016. We are working to reduce our carbon footprint in line with science to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. We do this by analyzing and prioritizing the sources of GHG emissions across our value chain and by partnering with stakeholders to drive down those emissions. As of 2022, we reduced our emissions across Scopes 1, 2 and 3 by 7%, 1 making progress toward our science-based reduction target of 25% by 2030 against a 2015 baseline 1. Our ambition is to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Several of our bottling partners have announced their own science-based targets and net zero pledges to drive climate action across the global Coca-Cola system. In 2022, our scope 1 emissions were 4.4 million metric tons, scope 2 emissions were 3.5 million metric tons 2 and scope 3 emissions were 57.0 million metric tons.

Ultimately, the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee of our Board of Directors oversees climate-related risks. The involvement of our bottling partners and suppliers is essential to achieving our science- based target to reduce absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030. The following are examples of how we are working on climate initiatives with partners across our value chain. INCREASING RENEWABLE ENERGY (ELECTRICITY) IN MANUFACTURING One critical strategy for reducing emissions in our system is the increased use of renewable energy in our manufacturing processes. Renewable electricity usage, which was third- party assured for the first time in 2021, increased from 12% in 2021 to 21% in 2022. To build knowledge across our system and increase the generation, procurement and accurate reporting of renewable energy, we published a Renewable Energy Implementation Guidebook in March 2022. This guidebook provides a step-by-step process for associates across the system to implement on-site solar photovoltaic and solar hot water and steam systems, on-site and off -site renewable energy power purchase agreements (PPAs), coupled with energy attribute certificates to align with GHG Protocol Scope 2 quality criteria.

In addition to the guidebook, we launched a future-facing initiative called the Renewable Energy Project Pipeline in 2022, where we work closely with bottling partners to increase the number of renewable energy projects throughout our system. Approximately 20 bottling partners and 13 concentrate plants have developed 2023–2025 renewable energy plans. As the number and scope of these projects expands, we will look for opportunities to collaborate and share best practices. Coca-ColaEuropacificPartners SignsLandmark Renewable  ElectricityA greement Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) in Australia signed an eight-year agreement with Alinta Energy, which includes large-scale generation certificates and 13,000 MWh per year of renewable electricity supplied from the Yandin Wind Farm. The long-term agreement started in January 2023 and will help CCEP move closer to its goal of using 100% renewable electricity across all of its markets by 2030.

BOTTLING PARTNERS SET SCIENCE-BASED EMISSIONS TARGETS Given the size of our network of bottling partners, they are critically important in making progress toward our climate ambitions. Our bottling partners have a major influence on emissions reductions based on what they buy, make and deliver for our shared customers and consumers. In September 2022, Arca Continental committed to setting a science-based target. This adds to the growing list of our bottlers with approved emissions reductions goals through the Science- Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This list includes Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company (CCHBC), Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), AB Inbev, Swire Coca-Cola Limited and Coca-Cola FEMSA. We will be working to grow this list in 2023. ENGAGING WITH SUPPLIERS TO TAKE ACTION ON CLIMATE We continue to find new ways to collaborate and support our suppliers to collectively reduce emissions. In 2022, we joined the Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition (Supplier LoCT) initiative, led by Guidehouse along with 18 other companies to mobilize collective climate action by providing suppliers with resources, tools and knowledge to accelerate their decarbonization.

As of the end of 2022, there were 94 suppliers to the Coca-Cola system participating in the initiative. The company is directly sponsoring 56 of these suppliers. The program is showing signs of success—10 suppliers that we sponsored, who successfully completed the program, have since set or committed to setting their own SBTi- approved emissions targets. In total, more than 160 of our suppliers have set or committed to setting SBTi-approved emissions targets. ReducingEmissionsfromCoolers Coolers have long been a key opportunity because approximately one-third of our emissions comes from cold-drink equipment and dispensing. In early 2023, building on analysis we conducted in 2022, we published internal guidance for coolers used across our value chain. The guidance sets specific energy usage limits, which will require increasing energy efficiency between now and 2030 and help drive the replacement of older, less efficient coolers. We are also installing more “intelligent connected” coolers that can transmit data such as product throughput, maintenance status, temperature and energy use, which has operational benefits in addition to helping reduce emissions. In 2022, 88% of all new coolers placed were HFC-free.

Accountingfor Land  Use  Emissions In line with the launch of the SBTi’s Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) requirements, we are working to update our current science-based target in line with this methodology and a more ambitious trajectory. This new target would consider emissions from land use change in our supply chain as part of our overall GHG footprint and would consider carbon sequestration from land-based projects we implement in our supply chain. While we already work closely with suppliers to engage on water and sustainable agriculture, accounting for land use emissions would require an even closer partnership with our agricultural suppliers. As we incorporate more work across the agricultural supply chain, this would also help us meet evolving climate risk and data disclosure requirements.

Coca-ColaBallinaPlant RecognizedbyW orld  EconomicForum The World Economic Forum’s Global Lighthouse Network recognized The Coca-Cola Company’s concentrate manufacturing facility in Ballina, Ireland, as a manufacturer showing leadership in applying Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies at scale to drive step-change financial, operational and sustainability improvements by transforming factories, value chains and business models. Investments in the facility’s IT infrastructure, advanced technologies and employee training has led to a 6.8% increase in production in three years (2019–2022) and a 29% energy reduction, which brought emissions back to 2011 levels. The Ballina team’s learnings are being shared globally. IMPROVING DATA SCOPE AND ACCURACY Gathering complete and accurate data is critical to identifying a path to achieving our science- based target.

Each year, we encourage key suppliers to complete CDP’s Supply Chain Climate Change questionnaire, which provides useful data on GHG emissions in our supply chain and information on supplier targets and initiatives to reduce emissions. In 2022, 378 suppliers provided climate data to CDP out of 495 requested, a 12% increase from 2021. Additionally, we are working to improve data accuracy in partnership with several major suppliers across ingredients and packaging, starting with sugar and aluminum, in order to develop supplier-specific emissions factors for the commodities we procure. This allows us to better understand our supply chain, drive change and more accurately track emissions reductions of specific suppliers and commodities in key areas. Even deeper in our supply chain, work is underway to map and understand how land, water use and farming practices in our major agricultural sourcing regions both generate emissions and have the potential to reduce emissions. Costa began its own work in 2022, launching a Climate Smart coffee project in partnership with the Rainforest Alliance. Phase 1 of the project has been to conduct a GHG feasibility study to better understand the carbon footprint of coffee farms from Costa’s key sourcing origins, including Colombia and Brazil.

We currently only report our Leader-level volumes publicly. We do not currently report Mover or Improver volumes publicly. Thriving farmers and farming communities are critically important for our supply chain. Our ability to deliver quality products depends on having a sustainable and secure supply of agricultural ingredients. Our complex supply chain spans the globe and includes many kinds of suppliers, from multinational companies to smallholder farmers. Our Principles for Sustainable Agriculture (PSA) communicate our expectations for environmental, social and economic performance to our agricultural suppliers at the farm level. The PSA, introduced in 2021 to replace our Sustainable Agriculture Guiding Principles (SAGP), take a long-term perspective and reflect the most recent science, our total beverage portfolio, and our increasingly diverse supply chain. The PSA are designed to encourage continuous improvement in farming practices and lead to more ethical and sustainable sourcing. The PSA framework for evaluating the compliance and performance of our supply farm base recognizes the on-the-ground realities in sustainable farming practices across a diversity of supply chains, farm structures and risk contexts. Based on the PSA framework, suppliers are designated as either a Leader, Mover or Improver.

•  IMPROVER: Supply volume is sourced from smallholder/small-scale producers participating in a support program to continuously improve their priority sustainability practices. Irrigated agriculture remains the largest user of water globally, accounting for 70% of water use worldwide,3 and has significant impacts on watershed health. Agriculture is also one of the sectors most impacted by water stress and drought. Water use within our agriculture supply chain accounts for the vast majority of the surface water and groundwater consumed in the production of our beverages. Therefore, we are working with our suppliers to help promote the long-term sustainability of water resources through the implementation of advanced water management practices at the farm level. In addition, we are including our priority sourcing regions as part of our water replenishment programs. For example, in 2022, in partnership with Doktar, an agri-tech company, and with funding from The Coca-Cola Foundation, we launched a project in the regions of Bursa and Tekirdağ in Türkiye, which are priority sourcing regions for apples.

The improvements in water-use efficiency are expected to help reduce costs and increase profitability for the farmers. Over the past year, we have worked closely with our suppliers to map our sourcing regions for our global priority ingredients. While we recognize that traceability is not always perfect, and our supplier base is dynamic, we have begun to understand sourcing regions for our global priority ingredients that are exposed to high or extremely high water stress. We are focusing on engagement with suppliers in these priority sourcing watersheds. In 2022 and early 2023, we approached more than 45 suppliers that source ingredients from regions facing high or extremely high water stress, to gather data on their water management practices. In 2023, we plan to analyze this information to develop a baseline that will feed a supplier engagement strategy and collective action plan. This partnership has guided us with a focus on the right solutions for young farmers in highly water-stressed regions of Türkiye.” TANZER BILGEN Doktar Co-Founder and CEO

The “Improver” category of our PSA segmentation includes smallholders who may never be able to gain formal certification but who can, with appropriate support, contribute to more sustainable and regenerative agriculture while increasing their own incomes and resilience. ApplyingCompostDrivesPositiveOutcomes for Egyptian V egetable  Farmers Agriculture in Egypt faces many challenges, including water scarcity, water pollution, desertification and land degradation. Through a grant from The Coca-Cola Foundation to Global Water Challenge (GWC), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Egypt Network for Sustainable Development (ENID) implemented a project in the Qena governorate in Upper Egypt to demonstrate the value of using a greenhouse cultivation model to produce vegetables (e.g., eggplants and tomatoes), and the recycling and use of crop residues (materials left over after a crop harvest, e.g., stalks and stems) as compost on local farms. Local farmers and laborers received equipment and training in these improved farming techniques. The application of compost increased the soil moisture holding capacity on farmland and reduced the need for synthetic fertilizer. It is estimated that composting reduced the use of water for irrigation by as much as 23%.

The application of compost increased the soil moisture holding capacity on farmland and reduced the need for synthetic fertilizer. It is estimated that composting reduced the use of water for irrigation by as much as 23%. This decreased farming costs and generated an additional revenue stream for farmers. The recycling of crop residues provided income and short-term job opportunities for local residents along with longer-term employment prospects for approximately 500 individuals, including almost 100 women, who received training in the production and application of compost. The project also reduced the need for burning, which is the traditional way of disposing of agricultural waste. Regenerative agriculture is often referred to as a system of farming that focuses on positive outcomes that ensure the long-term viability of land to sustain production by working “with nature” rather than against it. A number of our completed and ongoing projects promote sustainable agriculture practices (e.g., use of cover crops) and contribute to positive outcomes, including reduced soil erosion and the buildup of organic matter. We will use key learnings from these projects to inform the design of future projects and incorporate regenerative agriculture principles and practices.

We will use key learnings from these projects to inform the design of future projects and incorporate regenerative agriculture principles and practices. As a founding member of the SAI Platform’s Regenerative Agriculture Framework, we are supporting the development of an industry solution for measuring outcomes of regenerative agriculture practices at the farm level. We are also actively involved with SAI Platform’s work on the Farm Sustainability Assessment (FSA), a global verification framework and benchmark reference designed to accelerate sustainable agriculture. The latest version, FSA 3.0, includes a self-assessment questionnaire and a continuous improvement module that offers guidance for developing, implementing and monitoring performance improvement plans. StrengtheningSustainable Productionof Oranges  in  Brazil We are working with partners to support smallholder farmers in Brazil’s citrus sector, which is the largest in the world. Many smallholder farmers in Brazil have struggled, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many smallholder farmers in Brazil have struggled, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of an industry initiative named Fruto Resiliente, which began in 2019, we are partnering with Eckes-Granini, Cutrale, one of our citrus juice suppliers, Solidaridad and innocent drinks, with co-funding from The Coca-Cola Foundation, to support nearly 500 smallholder farmers. The project aims to improve sustainable agriculture practices in the production of oranges by providing training to smallholders, including female farmers, in topics such as water, soil management and labor standards. Technical materials and resources (including booklets, podcasts, and videos) are shared for free online, and smallholders benefit from field visits to a demonstration farm operated by Sylvio Moreira Citrus Research Center (CCSM) of the Agronomic Institute (IAC). With project support, this state experimental farm reached the FSA/SAI gold level 1. In 2022, the project directly assisted approximately 200 orange farms.

DemonstratingSustainable SugarcaneProduction In partnership with Biofábrica Siglo XXI, an agro-biotechnological company, and Unión Nacional de Cañeros, A.C.–CNPR, one of the most important canegrower organizations in Mexico, we developed a project in 2021–2022 in Huasteca Potosina and the state of Morelos in Mexico to demonstrate the positive outcomes of regenerative agriculture practices in the production of sugarcane. Farming practices promoted include the use of biofertilizers—made from microorganisms—and compost. The 24-month project is expected to show that such a production model can increase productivity, reduce the need for chemical fertilizer, improve soil health and increase carbon sequestration and retention. In 2022, the project was one of the winners of the Bonsucro Impact Fund.

We regularly assess our key human rights risks to ensure that we are taking sufficient steps to identify and address them and, if needed, to support remediation of impacts. Respecting human rights is one of our core values. The Coca-Cola Company was among the first companies to commit to the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights in 2011, and we have strived to inspire and drive responsible business practices ever since, embedding respect for human rights across our business and value chain. REAL IMPACT: SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE FUTURE The foundation of our human rights program is our commitment to continuous improvement. That’s why, in 2022, we engaged a human rights advisory firm to conduct a holistic and rigorous review of our human rights program to ensure that we remain at the vanguard of responsible business. The process included extensive engagement with internal and external stakeholders to understand their primary human rights concerns and their expectations of an industry-leading program. We also conducted a global risk assessment to identify salient human rights risks 1 across our global value chain and evaluate the strength of our governance to meet future challenges. The aim of this extensive analysis was to establish a framework to drive meaningful human rights progress across our operations and value chain.

We use the same rigorous SGP protocols to audit our own operations as we do our bottling partners and Tier 1 suppliers (packaging and ingredients). In 2022, we conducted 2,770 audits and found that 99% of our own operations, 93% of system bottlers and 91% of our Tier 1 suppliers complied with our SGP protocols. These audit results are reviewed by the Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee of our Board of Directors on an annual basis. While this process helps us hold our company and partners accountable, we also focus on building capacity to support respect for human rights across our value chain.

While this process helps us hold our company and partners accountable, we also focus on building capacity to support respect for human rights across our value chain. This includes providing training and resources such as checklists, toolkits and guidelines. In 2022, we conducted bottler and supplier human rights-focused training across seven of our operating units, attended by over 1,000 participants. COLLABORATING TO COMBAT FORCED LABOR Forced labor is a human rights issue that plagues global supply chains and is a risk in virtually every company’s value chain. No company can solve this systemic failure alone—collaboration is the cornerstone of progress. We have joined with other companies as part of The Consumer Goods Forum to support its Human Rights Coalition (HRC). Serving as Co-Chair of the HRC, The Coca-Cola Company has helped HRC drive action to: • Help mak e Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) the norm in our industry by implementing forced labor-focused HRDD systems; • Impl ement HRDD systems in certain targeted high-risk supply chains, starting with palm oil in the People Positive Palm Project; and • Support the development of responsible recruitment markets through capacity building and government advocacy.
