The company published its first Global Reporting Initiative compliant CSR report 10 years ago and today is a Supersector leader in the FTSE4Good index and has been listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (World and Europe) for five consecutive years since 2008.
The way the company conducts its business is integrated with its sustainability commitments. The next natural step is to reflect this in its reporting. A holistic description of the company’s business model and its use of capitals and resources give the reader a comprehensive and deeper understanding of the company’s positioning. This report also demonstrates how the company creates value for its shareholders, for its communities and for other stakeholders. The report also includes a more systematic description of its potential risks and opportunities.
Coca-Cola HBC followed the guidance of the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC, www.theiirc.org) and in collaboration with The Coca-Cola Company, participated in the IRRC pilot programme aimed at developing best practice globally in integrated reporting.
This first Integrated Report highlights the most material issues, activities and results of 2012, and tracks the measurable progress the company has made across a range of financial, economic, social and environmental indicators.
The company’s recent move to Switzerland and listing in the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange bring about additional expectations from a broader range of stakeholders and authorities which the company aims to address in the Integrated Report. The company is committed to work hard in this new area to maintain its leadership in terms of sustainability and integrated reporting.
In preparing the report the company worked to the most stringent criteria and robust international standards and for the third consecutive year, has been externally audited to reach an ‘A+’ rating in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI G3) standard.
