Comprehensive | Coca-Cola Europacific Partners provides an unusually full picture of its climate-policy advocacy. It identifies a wide range of specific measures it works on – from the "EU Circular Economy Action Plan," the "Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation," the "European Climate Law" and the "Fit-for-55 Package" to Indonesia’s "Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation regarding the installation of Rooftop Solar Panels" and the drive for an "ambitious, legally binding Global Plastics Treaty." The company also describes how it tries to influence those files. It reports direct dialogue with "EU institutions such as the European Commission," in-person meetings and written correspondence with the Indonesian utility PLN, representation at INC negotiations for the plastics treaty, and routine engagement through named industry groups including UNESDA, EUROPEN, the Corporate Leaders Group and the Indonesia Employer Association; it even discloses that €706,436 was spent on direct advocacy in 2023. Finally, CCEP spells out the concrete results it seeks, backing "well-designed Deposit Return Schemes" with "DRS minimum requirements," calling for reuse targets that include an "environmental break-even point," opposing "blanket packaging taxation," urging EU leaders to cut emissions by "at least 55% by 2030," and, in Indonesia, "encourag[ing] the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to have a clear and firm stance to promote the usage of Rooftop Solar Panels." The breadth of named policies, the detailed description of both direct and indirect engagement channels, and the clear articulation of desired legislative outcomes demonstrate a comprehensive level of transparency around the company’s climate-related lobbying activities. | 4 |
