Coca-Cola HBC scores 52/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified August 2026.
That places Coca-Cola HBC joint 71st of 658 companies scored, and joint 7th of 44 in Food & Beverage (non-meat).
Coca-Cola HBC delivers credible emissions reductions in operations—61% since 2010, verified third-party—but Scope 3 from ingredients is rising and total value chain decoupling from growth remains incomplete. Renewable energy targets were downgraded. A 2023 greenwashing complaint over recyclability claims remains unresolved.
