A distinguished jury chaired by former Prime Minister of Sweden Ola Ullsten selected Coca-Cola Enterprises from 46 global companies. The award recognises CCE’s integration of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CRS) into its business strategy, responsiveness to the needs of its stakeholders, and the development of innovative partnerships to fulfill social responsibilities.

“The 2007 Coca-Cola Enterprises Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Report shows exemplary focus on corporate responsibility, stakeholder engagement, ethical management, controlling carbon emissions, and environmental management,” said Klaus Bohnke, the Director General of the Golden Peacock Award Secretariat. “We're proud to honour them with this award for the second time.”

“Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability is an integral part of our business strategy and plays a critical role in achieving our vision to be the best beverage and customer service company,” said John F Brock, CCE Chairman and CEO. “Being recognised with a Golden Peacock Award for the second consecutive year validates the direction that our company is taking, and we're proud to be honoured by the World Council of Corporate Governance.”

The award will be presented at the 9th International Conference on Corporate Governance in London, UK, 18-19 September.
