The Coca-Cola system's environmental commitments are

focused on the areas in which we have the most significant
impacts –

• water stewardship,

• sustainable packaging, and

• energy & climate protection.

We have made progress in each of these areas, but

recognize that there is much more to do. We are
committed to investing in a sustainable future for the Earth
and for our business.
Water Stewardship

Human activities often contaminate the world's limited freshwater resources,

threatening the health of lakes, rivers, and wetland ecosystems. Water is the
main ingredient in all of our beverages and is essential to our manufacturing
processes. Water also has broad impacts for our supply chain, as a key
component in the production of sugar, for example. Reducing water scarcity and
enhancing water quality for our operations and communities we serve are direct
and vital business concerns. The world has a finite amount of water but, if
managed properly, there is enough to meet our personal, agricultural, and
industrial needs, as well as those of nature.

The Coca-Cola Company's water stewardship strategy incorporates four core

focus areas:

1. Plant Performance

2. Watershed Protection

3. Community Water Initiative

4. Global Awareness and Action

On June 5, 2007 at WWF's annual meeting in Beijing, China, our Chairman and
CEO, E. Neville Isdell, announced our goal to return to communities and to
nature an amount of water equivalent to what we use in all of our beverages and
their production. This means reducing the amount of water used to produce our
beverages, recycling water used for manufacturing processes so it can be
returned safely to the environment, and replenishing water in communities and
nature through locally relevant projects.

This aspirational goal will be a multi-year journey for our entire system, but it is a
journey we have begun and will continue to pursue. Together with our bottlers,
we hope to establish a water-sustainable business on a global scale.

Our strategy is built on a comprehensive risk analysis of water resources in the

Coca-Cola system -- an analysis that provides a clear understanding of our water
risks on a global and local scale, enables business units to define and prioritize
ways to reduce water risks, and allows us to track progress in water stewardship.
Sustainable Packaging & Recycling
At The Coca-Cola Company, we envision a world in which our packaging is no longer
seen as waste, but as a valuable resource for the future. By working to conserve natural
resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the entire life cycle of a
package, we are taking steps toward realizing this vision. From developing packaging
designs that use less material without sacrificing quality, to investing in technologies and
recovery systems that enable us to use more recycled materials, we are committed to
continuously enhancing the sustainability of our packaging and our business.

Our sustainable packaging strategy focuses on three key areas:-

1 Package Design

2 Community Recycling Programs

3 Package Material Reuse

Our strategy is focused on improving our management of packaging performance. In

2006, we launched a global online inventory of our primary, secondary, and transport
package systems by sales and weight. In its first year, the inventory captured nearly
90% of our global unit packaging data. Through this database, we are better equipped to
measure resource efficiency and recycling rates.

For more information about our sustainable packaging performance, please review our
2006 Environmental Report, go there »

The Coca-Cola Company has invested more than $60 million to build the world's largest
plastic-bottle-to-bottle recycling plant and support recycling in the U.S. These
investments are part of a comprehensive goal to recycle or reuse 100 percent of the
Company's PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles in the U.S.
Energy & Climate Protection
The implications of climate change for our planet are profound and wide-ranging, with
impacts on biodiversity, water resources, public health, agriculture, and much more.
Across the Coca-Cola system, we recognize that climate change may have long-term
direct and indirect implications for our business and supply chain. Our business system
has a role to play in ensuring we use the best possible mix of energy sources while
improving the energy efficiency of our manufacturing and distribution processes.

The Coca-Cola Company's climate protection strategy is focused on four key areas:

1. Refrigeration Equipment

2. Offices and Bottling Plants

3. Fleet and Transportation

4. Global Awareness and Action

Global Awareness and Action

In 2007, we signed the UN Global Compact's "Caring for Climate: The Business
Leadership Platform." The Platform, which was announced in conjunction with the Global
Compact Leaders Summit, is a global call to businesses and governments to speed up
action on climate change. As a signatory we have committed to work to increase energy
efficiency and reduce emissions from our operations. We also have committed to
engage our global supply chain to work toward the common objective of advancing
practical climate change solutions.

The three largest components of our system's energy consumption are manufacturing,
fleet/transport, and vending machines and coolers.

Manufacturing: Energy is consumed by our system's nearly 850 plants in the

manufacturing process to provide the power for equipment such as boilers, chillers and
air compressors.

Fleet/Transport: Energy is used by our system's fleet of approximately 200,000 vehicles

to transport ingredients, packaging and finished beverages.
Sales/Marketing Equipment: Energy is used in our system's more than 9 million
vending machines and coolers to keep products cold. The Coca-Cola system's vending
machines and coolers are the largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions within the
system and produce three times the estimated emissions of our manufacturing facilities.

Coca-Cola is committed
to sustainable and responsible growth, and we
recognize the health of our business is directly
linked to the health of the environment. That
is why we’re working to address challenging
environmental concerns by focusing on where we
have the most significant impacts and also the
most potential to make positive contributions:
water stewardship, sustainable packaging, energy
management and climate protection.
Last year, we set an ambitious goal for our global
system: to return to communities and nature
an amount of water equivalent
to what we use in all of our
beverages and their production.
We also are working to reduce
the environmental impact of
our packaging by helping
advance efforts that turn our
packaging into a valuable
resource for the future. And we
are addressing climate change
by working to grow our business,
but not our carbon footprint in
our manufacturing operations.
Through 2008 and in the years to
follow, we will share progress on
our global efforts.

Protecting the environment is

an integral part of our mission,
values and actions.
Engagement at the Olympic Games
The Coca-Cola Company is proud to be the
longest continuous corporate sponsor of the
Olympic Movement. This year, we have an
exciting opportunity to contribute to China’s
“Green Olympics” by helping raise global
awareness about the importance of environmental
stewardship while seeking to inspire action in
communities throughout China.
Global Goals and Strategy
Water is the main ingredient in all of our beverages.
It is key to our manufacturing processes and has
broad impacts for our supply chain. Addressing
water scarcity and enhancing water quality for
our operations and the communities we serve are
direct and vital business concerns.
In June 2007, we announced a goal to return
to communities and nature an amount of water
equivalent to what we use in all of our beverages
and their production. This means reducing the
amount of water used to produce our beverages,
recycling water used for manufacturing processes
so that it can be returned safely to the environment
and replenishing water in communities and nature
through locally relevant projects.
Our global water stewardship strategy is built
on four pillars that combine local actions in
our bottling plants with global advocacy and
leadership: plant performance, watershed
protection, community water initiatives and
global awareness and action.
Our Commitment...in China
Our efforts in China range from focusing on
improving water efficiency in our plants to
partnering with local programs to help expand
access to safe water and sanitation. We also strive to
inspire action in communities on the importance
of water conservation.
Global Water Stewardship
WWF Partnership
We are engaged in a multi-year partnership with World Wildlife Fund
(WWF) to
combine our international strengths and resources to help conserve
freshwater
resources. Together we are working to:
• Conserve seven key freshwater river basins around the world
• Improve the efficiency of our system’s water use
• Support more efficient water use in our supply chain, beginning with
sugar production
• Decrease our carbon dioxide emissions and energy use
• Inspire a global movement engaging industry and individuals to
support the
conservation of freshwater ecosystems, species and water resources
We are committed to improving our water
efficiency ratio (the amount of water needed to
produce a liter of product) in China and around the
world. Our bottling plants in China had a water-use
ratio of 2.44 liters of water per liter of product in
2007, a 9 percent improvement over 2006.
Wastewater treatment and reuse is another
component of our water stewardship efforts in
China. In 2007, all of China system operations,
including bottling and concentrate plants, met the
Company’s and local government’s wastewater
effluent standards. In-line wastewater monitoring
systems have been implemented in 12 facilities to
track wastewater quality consistently. In addition,
all 35 of our bottling plants have implemented
water reuse and recovery projects.
As part of our watershed protection strategy, we
are working with WWF to help conserve China’s
Yangtze River, which is the lifeblood of central
China and supports more than 400 million people
and countless fish and wildlife species. The
Yangtze River Basin is a region of tremendous
economic importance; however, the region’s
environmental health is at risk. Our goal is to
implement sustainable river management practices
across the Yangtze basin. Examples of our activities
include piloting a low-impact, sustainable dam
operation and launching an integrated river basin
management forum for the MinJiang and Jialing
sub-basins.

Engagement at the Olympic Games

As part of the Coca-Cola system’s support of the
“Green Olympics,” beginning in 2005, Coca-Cola
China partnered with the Beijing Organizing
Committee of the Olympic Games (BOCOG), the
Beijing Youth League, the Beijing Young Pioneers
and The First newspaper to kick off a citywide
environmental education campaign called “Save
a Barrel of Water.” The program encourages
students to water flowers with recycled or saved
fresh water and reinforces water conservation
habits. By the end of 2008, the program will have
reached more than 800,000 individuals in 22 cities.
In March 2008, we helped launch a unique
public-private partnership with the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP), the Ministry
of Water Resources (MWR) and the Ministry of
Commerce to support government efforts to
improve water resource management and drinking
water safety for communities throughout China. A
special component of this program is the “Water
and Sanitation for Schools” initiative. Phase I
began in May with pilot programs providing
water access, hygiene education and improved
sanitation (toilet and handwashing facilities) in rural
schools in Xinjiang Autonomous Region. During
the Games, our Coca-Cola “Drops of Hope” pins
will offer visitors an opportunity to support the
“Water and Sanitation for Schools” initiative and
help people receive clean drinking water. For each
pin sold, 5 RMB will be donated to the program.

Global Goals and Strategy

We recognize that climate change may have
long-term direct and indirect implications for
our business and supply chain. We believe that,
beyond regulatory compliance, business can play
a powerful role to help drive climate solutions
through innovation and competition.
Through our Energy Management and Climate
Protection strategy, we are finding new ways
to mitigate the environmental impacts of our
operations and products. Globally, we are
committed to reducing our Company’s carbon
footprint by addressing the three largest
components of our system’s direct energy
consumption: manufacturing, fleet and transport
and refrigeration equipment. To support this
commitment, we are working to grow the
business, but not our carbon footprint in our
manufacturing operations and to take action to
improve the energy efficiency and reduce the
emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) in
our refrigeration equipment.
We are building a sustainable refrigeration
program that is the cornerstone of our
energy management and climate protection
efforts. We have completed the transition to
hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-free insulation foam
for new purchases of refrigeration equipment.
HFC-free equipment generates 75 percent fewer
direct GHG emissions than traditional equipment.
We have pioneered technologies that use carbon
dioxide as a safe and energy-efficient alternative
to HFC refrigeration in coolers and vending
machines. We also developed a proprietary
energy management system (EMS) for our coolers
that delivers energy savings of up to 35 percent.
Recently, we placed our one-millionth unit of this
innovative technology.
Our local operating and distribution systems
also have an impact on our footprint. Most of
our beverage products are manufactured, sold
and consumed in the regions in which they are
produced, which means less energy is required
for transportation. We are conserving fuel in
our global fleet of approximately 200,000 diesel
vehicles through the introduction of idle-reduction
and biodiesel technologies. We also have begun
the use of diesel-electric hybrid trucks in select
markets, including China.

Energy Management
and Climate Protection
Our Commitment...in China
Coca-Cola China works closely with its distribution
network to reduce emissions. We have pledged
to increase fuel efficiency and control emissions
by gradually replacing older vehicles with a newer
and more fuel-efficient fleet. We plan to expand
our efforts to increase fuel efficiency through
improved driving techniques and practical energysaving
tips. Where possible, we invite not only our
bottling partners but also third-party carriers to
join our training sessions on energy-saving driving
techniques. In Beijing, our new software system
is helping our fleet managers plan more efficient
delivery routes, measure fuel consumption and
execute preventive maintenance.
Around the world, more than one million coolers
feature our proprietary energy management
system (EMS), and we are working to expand the
use of EMS technology in China.

Engagement at the Olympic Games

To support the Beijing government’s efforts to
improve air quality in the city, The Coca-Cola
Company will provide a “clean fleet” for the
Games. All delivery vehicles operating in Olympic
venues will be electric or human powered.
With the support of Greenpeace, we have
announced that 100 percent of the coolers and
vending machines provided by The Coca-Cola
Company – more than 5,600 units – will feature
an HFC-free natural refrigerant and proprietary
technology that improves energy efficiency by up
to 35 percent. This commitment alone will reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 4,000
metric tons during the Olympic Games – the
equivalent of taking more than 19,000 cars off the
road for two weeks.

Global Goals and Strategy

We envision a world in which our packaging

is no longer seen as a waste but as a valuable
resource for future use. Our sustainable packaging
strategy includes three key areas: package design,
community recycling initiatives and material reuse.
Life-cycle management has helped us to sustain
the use of high-value recyclable materials and
reusable packages. Each package we design is
100 percent recyclable, weighs less than it did a
decade ago and often contains recycled content.
We have reduced the weight of the 8-ounce
glass bottle by nearly 60 percent; the 12-ounce
aluminum can by 33 percent; the 2-liter PET plastic
bottle by more than 30 percent; and the 20-ounce
PET plastic bottle by more than 25 percent since
their introduction.
Recycling rates for beverage containers are among
the highest of any consumer product packaging in
the world, and our Company has a long-standing
commitment to recycling. We believe education
is key to changing attitudes and behaviors about
recycling and litter prevention, and we partner with
many environmental organizations and community
groups to promote and further increase the
collection of recyclables.

Our Commitment...in China

In 2005, Coca-Cola China undertook a sustainable

packaging risk analysis with its bottling partners
to inform new packaging solutions. We have
reduced the glass we use in our packaging by
approximately 11,000 tons by adopting Ultra Glass
technology, and we have reduced our use of PET
by approximately 30,000 tons through responsible
manufacturing and redesign efforts.
In addition to working with our bottling partners
and suppliers, Coca-Cola China is engaging with
government officials and PET resin and recycling
industry leaders to encourage expansion of
recycling and recovery programs. We continue
to share our experience with local recycling
systems regarding post-consumer waste, the use
of recycled content in packaging and our broader
focus on sustainable packaging.

Sustainable Packaging
Engagement at the Olympic Games
We expect more than 26 million of our PET bottles
to be used at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
Coca-Cola China is working closely with BOCOG
to understand the entire waste management
process throughout the venues, from serving
to recycling facilities. Coca-Cola is promoting
recycling with signage on the catering uniforms
and beverage displays in all Olympic venues and
recycling bins in all Coca-Cola-operated venues.
To demonstrate the high
value of PET bottles and
how they can be turned
into desirable products, we
have introduced a line of
merchandise made out of
recycled PET bottles. Every
Olympic and Paralympic
athlete as well as hospitality customers and all
Coca-Cola staff at The Games will receive exclusive
items made out of recycled PET plastic, such as
shirts, lanyards and hats, to help raise awareness
about the many ways plastic can be reused.
Olympic Torch Relay
To help underscore
the message of
environmental
stewardship and
recognize those who are dedicated to
pursuing positive change, several local
environmental champions were selected
by the Company to join the ranks of
Torchbearers carrying the Olympic flame.
In mainland China, Coca-Cola China
has dedicated slots for Environmental
Torchbearers who are making a difference in
society through environmental stewardship.
Wang Yongchen, a reporter for China
National Radio and president of Green
Earth Volunteers, one of China’s oldest
civic organizations, served as one of our
Environmental Champion Torchbearers.
