2006 Sustainability Report - Coca-Cola Amatil

Environment
Principles
• We are accountable for our actions.
• We continuously improve
environmental performance.
• We integrate sound environmental
practices into our daily business
operations in accordance with our
environmental standards.
• Our commitment to protecting and
preserving the environment extends
throughout our organisation.
• We will establish mechanisms to
communicate effectively with
employees, consumers, governments,
shareholders, supply chain partners
and other stakeholders on
environmental performance.
• We are minimising impact, maximising
opportunity – results of research and
new technology are used to minimise
the environmental impact of our
operations, equipment, products
and packages.
CCA strives to conduct business in
a manner that takes into account the
various sensitivities in all our operating
environments. Responsibility for
our environmental performance lies
with the Compliance and Social
Responsibility Committee of the Board.
We have undertaken to implement
internationally recognised
Environmental Management Systems
throughout our operations. To date,
initiatives have largely centred on our
higher risk business elements of
manufacturing, and to a certain extent
equipment services and acquisitions.
Performance in our manufacturing
operations particularly with water
savings, has seen CCA emerge as a
leader within the Coke system and
across the broader fast moving
consumer goods industry.
CCA collaborates with TCCC
at the local level on environmental
management issues. TCCC publishes
a separate global environmental
report for the Coke system
(www.coca-cola.com).
Environmental Governance
Our environmental governance
platform stems from ISO14001:2004
certified environmental management
systems, currently in place across the
Group for our key beverage
manufacturing operations.
CCA’s major production operations
in Australia, New Zealand and South
Korea have qualified for certification
to the TCCC Quality System for
Quality and Environment.
Extensive data collation and
reporting mechanisms allow for
a continual review of performance
and communication of results.
Existing key performance areas
of water, energy and waste have
recently been expanded to commence
better representation of performance
in fleet, equipment and packaging.
Consistent key performance indicators
have been adopted by all operations
within the CCA Group, and form the
basis for performance monitoring for
this report.
Our key performance indicators for each
operation within the CCA Group are:
• Water Usage Ratio (L/FBL)
• Energy Usage Ratio (MJ/FBL)
• Total Solid Waste Recycled (%)
• Total Solid Waste Produced (tonnes)
Baseline performance against these
measures has been detailed in this
review. Refinements to collection
boundaries and reporting timelines
will see a more aligned and consistent
representation in subsequent reviews.
Explanations for data origins, gaps or
variations to common boundaries,
where observed, have been provided
in brief.
