MSCI ESG has given Coca-Cola HBC a "AAA" rating, the highest ESG (Environmental Social Governance) rating for a company. Our company has received the "AAA" rating for the eighth year in a row.

Coca-Cola HBC has received a “AAA” rating from MSCI ESG, the highest ESG (Environment Social Governance) rating for companies. MSCI ESG rates global companies on a scale of AAA (leader) to CCC (laggard), according to exposure to industry specific ESG risks and the ability to manage those risks relative to peers.

It’s the 8th year in a row that our company has achieved the “AAA” rating. Following the launch of our 2025 Mission Sustainability commitments and multiple initiatives towards these in 2021, including our boldest sustainability commitment to date – NetZero by 40, this recognition is further proof that sustainability is integrated in every aspect of our business.

"Achieving the highest score for eight years in a row is a great recognition of our continued ESG progress. It confirms that we are moving in the right direction, but we’re all aware there is always more we can do on our sustainability journey. As we work toward NetZeroby40, we are committed to do everything we can and help our partners as well in their own sustainability initiatives."
