Four ways the Coca-Cola
Foundation and partners are
helping protect water for the
next generation
W
ater is essential for life,
communities and making
beverages people love. Water is
local, so the Coca-Cola Foundation focus on
what matters most locally. The Coca-Cola
Company’s water strategy includes efficient
water use in operations, as well as giving
water back to nature and communities.
Together the Coca-Cola system and The
Coca-Cola Foundation (TCCF) invest in
projects worldwide to improve watersheds
that supply water for drinking, agriculture
and manufacturing.
Since 2015, more than 100% of the water
used in finished beverages has been returned
to nature and communities
This work is done with significant support
from TCCF. “We continue to make a
difference by supporting collective action to
sustain healthy, resilient watersheds for the
people and places that need it most, from
Africa’s Great Limpopo watershed to the
forests of California,” said Carlos Pagoaga,
President of TCCF.

systems.
