Innovation, creativity and digitalisation are the key to success for any growth focused business.  With that in mind, last month, we proudly introduced INNOvember—a month-long celebration of innovation, packed with engaging learning experiences, inspiring sessions, and hands-on challenges. A huge thank you to the thousands of colleagues across our organisation who embraced this opportunity, participating in sessions and challenges to prepare for the future. Let’s take a moment to look back at some of the incredible highlights from INNOvember! Accenture | Microsoft

It’s one year since Romania’s Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) was launched. So far, over 3 billion plastic, glass and aluminium beverage containers have been returned through the scheme to be used again! In October 2024, 84% of containers sold in the market were returned through the scheme. These early figures are encouraging and come from strong partnerships. We believe they show that manufacturers like us, retailers, the government, wider industry, the operator RetuRO SGR and consumers are committed to playing their part in creating a more sustainable environment. In Coca-Cola HBC, eight of our markets have DRS in place and we’re continuing to work across Europe and Africa to establish systems that work and suit local needs. We continue to make progress towards our packaging collection goal. We delivered an overall collection rate of 56% across our Group in 2023 (excluding Egypt) – an increase of eight percentage points from 2022. We know there’s still much work to do, and our sustainability journey continues. Read more here: bit.ly/3BBNUIK
