Statement from Coca-Cola India on the Assessment of 'Water Resource
Management Practices' by TERI

Our engagement with TERI is another important step we are taking to ensure that our water management practices are consistently improving and among the best in the world. The TERI report confirms that we meet Indian regulations and on an overall basis our own TCCC standards, which are often  more stringent. It also confirms that we are on the right track with many of the improvements we’ve made over the last few years.

However, it identified some areas where we can do better. As a result, we are strengthening our plant siting requirements, our monitoring capabilities for both rainwater harvesting and wastewater treatment and our guidelines for source protection and operating in water scarce areas. We also are expanding our efforts to work with local communities to ensure sustainability of the local water resource and have launched The Coca-Cola India Foundation for Sustainable Development and Inclusive Growth. We will continue to work closely with stakeholders in our local Communities to support communty initiatives.
