Full assessment

CCEP has established a structured governance process for climate lobbying, with "Within our Public Affairs, Communications and Sustainability (PACS) function, our Chief PACS Officer is the ELT member with overall management responsibility for our ESG Committee" and with the Board's ESG Committee having "primary ownership of sustainability issues and [being] responsible for monitoring CCEP's progress against our sustainability action plan 'This is Forward' targets." The company "actively engage[s] with our trade associations to align advocacy relevant to climate with our support for the 1.5oC ambition and the delivery of the Paris Agreement," and it ensures that "any changes to policy which could influence CCEP's climate policy or commitments, is discussed in weekly PACS Leadership Team meets." Any "inconsistencies in our methods to influence policy in relation to these would be highlighted through discussion with them and decisions made in this forum," indicating formal review and oversight of both "direct advocacy or campaigns" and indirect trade-association engagement. However, we found no evidence of a dedicated, publicly available climate-lobbying audit or third-party review assessing its alignment with climate goals, suggesting that while roles, processes and oversight bodies are clearly defined, the company does not disclose an explicit audit mechanism for its climate lobbying activities.

This assessment is part of the Lobbying Governance Index, covering 8,500 companies scored on whether they have processes to oversee their climate lobbying. See all companies in Europe or all companies in United Kingdom.
