2030 Water Security Strategy

The Coca-Cola Company’s holistic 2030 Water Security Strategy is focused on accelerating the actions needed to increase water security where we operate, source ingredients and touch people’s lives. The three goals accelerating our actions on water are as follows: • Achieve 100% circular water use – or regenerative water use – across 175 facilities identified as “leadership locations” by 2030. • Work with partners to help improve the health of 60 watersheds identified as most critical for the company's operations and agricultural supply chains by 2030. • Aim to return a cumulative total of 2 trillion liters of water to nature and communities globally, between 2021-2030.

Our three goals are:

• Achieve 100% circular water use – or regenerative water use – across 175 facilities identified as “leadership locations” by 2030. 
• Work with partners to help improve the health of 60 watersheds identified as most critical for the company's operations and agricultural supply chains by 2030. 
• Aim to return a cumulative total of 2 trillion liters of water to nature and communities globally, between 2021-2030. 

Below are some key actions the company is taking to achieve these goals:

• Working to achieve regenerative water use – reducing, reusing, recycling and replenishing the water used to produce its beverages. 
• Improving community access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene while supporting people – especially women and girls – to prepare and rapidly recover from water-related crises.
• In priority watersheds, establishing and implementing watershed stewardship plans to improve shared challenges (quantity, quality, ecosystems, infrastructure, governance).
• Sourcing “water-sustainable” ingredients and supporting nature-based solutions.
• Working with suppliers so they use less water to grow ingredients.
• Partnering with governments, NGOs, communities and other companies to share resources and take collective action that creates scale and advances innovation and science.
• Advocating for good water governance and smart water policies while engaging all stakeholders on responsible water use – including customers and consumers.
• The company will continue to work with partners including the World Bank’s Water Resources Group, CEO Water Mandate, Global Water Challenge, The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund, and many others in pursuit of these goals.
