We deem it our responsibility to keep track of all links in our value chain, to oversee our goals, and to consciously perform our activities in accordance with our sustainability strategy, policies and practices.
Supply Chain Management
Adopting a superior supplier management take on operational excellence, we integrate our supply chain within the scope of our sustainability.
We provide our suppliers a copy of our SGP before starting our business relationship and expect them to pass on these principles on to their stakeholders, and particularly to their employees. When applicable, we include the SGP policy in our supplier contracts and require them to develop and implement suitable internal business processes to ensure compliance with SGP requirements.
We consider sustainable agriculture essential to meet the needs and expectations of our customers and other stakeholders and ensure our business's continued growth. However, a significant portion of our economic, social and environmental footprint comes from sourcing raw materials. At this stage, we are able to achieve sustainable sourcing across CCI by sourcing ingredients from suppliers that meet The Coca-Cola System’s 's established standards.
Coca-Cola has developed the Principles of Sustainable Agriculture (PSA) in an effort toto improve accessibility, quality and safety in agriculture, as well as the well-being of agricultural communities. TCCC's overall pursuit of sustainable agriculture rests on ensuring responsible agriculture, protecting the environment, and protecting and promoting human and labor rights. Our compliance with the PSA is verified in accordance with Bonsucro, the Rainforest Alliance, the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform (SAI and the Fairtrade International License Authority, or a third-party equivalent international standard).
Operational Excellence in Supply Chain
We have introduced an Operational Excellence (OE) culture in our organization to improve the way we do business in the long term. The OE model, which is based on Lean Six Sigma methods, is implemented in all corporate functions. Our aim is to use this model as a means of reducing the environmental impact of our filling operations, achieving the highest levels of efficiency and quality, and minimizing errors.
