Caring Beyond the Bottle
“CCBPI embeds sustainability across every sip and system.”
Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. (“CCBPI”) is the bottling arm of Coca-Cola in the Philippines. The company offers a wide range of beverages, including sparkling drinks, ready-to-drink teas and juices, dairy products, and alcoholic ready-to-drink (aRTD) beverages. CCBPI operates 18 manufacturing plants and nearly 70 distribution centers and sales offices across the Philippines, employing around 9,000 people. Beyond its direct workforce, the company supports over a million retail partners, including small neighborhood sari-sari stores and large modern trade outlets, showcasing its significant impact on both the economy and the communities it serves.
Sustainability is a core principle embedded in CCBPI’s operations, shaped by the Filipino value of “malasakit,” which reflects genuine care for others, the environment, and society. This philosophy guides the company’s approach to integrating responsible practices across all facets of its business. One of CCBPI’s key sustainability efforts is its commitment to environmental stewardship, particularly in its packaging innovation. The company has introduced recycled PET bottles or rPET packaging, invested in recycling infrastructure, and championed its flagship nationwide collection program “Tapon to Ipon: Basta Klaro, Panalo!” to promote a circular economy. By also partnering with local communities to boost collection and recycling of clear PET plastic bottles—packaging that is fully recyclable—CCBPI aims to minimize its environmental impact through packaging circularity while meeting consumer demand.
Water stewardship is another central pillar of CCBPI’s sustainability agenda. The company places high priority on replenishing the water it uses in its operations through various water conservation and protection projects. These initiatives are designed to ensure that CCBPI’s operations do not negatively affect local water resources, safeguarding access to clean water for the communities it serves.
CCBPI has comprehensive strategies in place to ensure efficient energy use across its operations—harnessing clean & renewable energy in making its refreshing beverages.
CCBPI adapts its global goals to the local context, ensuring that its sustainability efforts are tailored to the unique needs and challenges of the Philippines.
CCBPI’s sustainability efforts are driven by active involvement from both its employees and top management. The company fosters a collaborative work environment where sustainability is not just a top-down directive but a shared responsibility across the organization. In line with its People-First culture, CCBPI’s Total Well-Being Program provides holistic support to its employees, addressing their physical, emotional, and mental health needs. Through the Coca-Cola Cares initiative, employees and their families have access to 24/7 mental health counseling, which helps them navigate both personal and professional challenges. Additionally, its wellness initiatives empower employees to develop health programs specific to their work sites, promoting a culture of well-being across the company. This employee-driven approach strengthens CCBPI’s commitment to its workforce while enhancing overall organizational well-being.
Community engagement is a fundamental aspect of CCBPI’s sustainability strategy. The company works closely with local partners to implement high-impact programs that promote economic development and social progress. With over a million retail partners throughout the Philippines, CCBPI ensures that its products are accessible to consumers even in the most remote areas. These partnerships not only provide economic opportunities for small businesses but also help CCBPI build stronger connections with the communities it serves. This engagement is a testament to the company’s long-standing commitment to the Filipino people, with whom it has shared a rich history for over a century.
CCBPI’s approach to sustainability goes hand-in-hand with its pursuit of business excellence. The company continues to innovate its product offerings, expanding its portfolio to meet the evolving preferences of Filipino consumers. By offering a wide range of products accommodating the different needs and life stages of its customers, CCBPI stays ahead of market trends while maintaining its reputation for quality and safety. This combination of sustainability and product innovation positions CCBPI as a leader in responsible corporate practices within the beverage industry, setting an example for other companies to follow.
As part of the global Coca-Cola system, CCBPI benefits from access to best practices, innovations, and resources from around the world. The company strategically adapts these resources to address the specific needs of the Philippine market, allowing it to leverage global strengths while staying responsive to local challenges and emerging opportunities. This seamless integration of global and local priorities ensures that CCBPI’s business operations align with international sustainability goals, regulatory standards, and the evolving needs of the communities it serves across the country.
CCBPI’s commitment to sustainability reflects a broader understanding that business success is most meaningful when it contributes to the well-being of people, the planet, and society. Through its efforts to reduce its environmental footprint, support the welfare of its employees, and engage meaningfully with local communities, the company demonstrates how responsible business practices can drive positive change. As CCBPI continues to innovate and grow, it remains dedicated to refreshing Filipino communities while protecting the environment for future generations. By keeping sustainability at the heart of its operations, CCBPI exemplifies how businesses can thrive while creating lasting value for society and the environment alike.
