 Coca-Cola Europacific Partners collaborates with Zero Carbon Forum to accelerate carbon reduction across the hospitality sector

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) has signed a new partnership with Zero Carbon Forum, the not-for-profit organisation helping hospitality businesses across the UK collaborate to reach net zero.

 

The Zero Carbon Forum brings together more than 70 of the country’s leading hospitality operators – including McDonald’s, Burger King, KFC, Greene King, Pizza Express and Nando’s – to collectively measure, plan, reduce and comply with carbon reduction goals.

 

Through the partnership, CCEP will attend the Forum’s CEO Roundtables and All Member Meetings, working alongside senior leaders across the sector to share best practice, provide insights from its innovation investment arm Ventures, and collaborate on opportunities to measure carbon, improve efficiencies and support progress towards net zero.

 

CCEP is set to accelerate the decarbonisation of its business by reducing absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its entire value chain - including scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions - by 30% by 2030 and has set a path to become a Net Zero business by 2040.

 

Michael Christopherson, Senior Manager, Commercial Sustainability at CCEP GB, said: “Tackling climate change requires collaboration across industries and supply chains. That’s why we’re pleased to join Zero Carbon Forum, working with our customers, partners and peers in hospitality to share knowledge, find efficiencies, and scale the impact of carbon reduction efforts.”

 

Mark Chapman, Founder of the Zero Carbon Forum, said: "Tackling scope 3 emissions - the carbon emissions that are outside of an operator's direct control - is the largest and hardest net zero challenge our sector faces, and partnerships like the one with CCEP are vital to overcoming it. We have a proven history of collaborating across the supply chain and engaging suppliers with our members. I am delighted to welcome CCEP as a Forum partner to help businesses unlock efficiencies, strengthen resilience, enhance brand value and make credible progress towards net zero."
