WWF and The Coca-Cola Company's work in climate protection and energy management is focused on improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions in Coca-Cola's manufacturing operations, including those of over 300 independent bottlers.
The company has set two emissions reduction goals:
- Grow the business, not the carbon, worldwide
- Reduce emissions five percent in developed countries
To support this goal, WWF and The Coca-Cola Company have developed an Energy Efficiency Toolkit to identify energy-saving opportunities in the company's operations. Additionally, WWF has welcomed The Coca-Cola Company into its Climate-Savers program, an elite group of leading corporations from around the world that are working with WWF to dramatically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
Without intervention, Coca-Cola's emissions would grow proportional to volume and reach 7.3 million tons in 2015. The global commitment will prevent the release of more than 2 million tons of CO2 in 2015 -- the equivalent of planting 600,000 acres of trees.
