♣ Reducing-In order to reduce water usage in its plants Coca Cola has developed the goal of improving water efficiency in its plants by 25% by the year 2020.In order to achieve this goal Coca Cola India has been making significant investments in best in class technology and optimizing the water use in its processes The results has been reduction in the water usage ratio i.e. the water consumed per liter of beverage produced from 2.12 to 1.97 within three years from 2012 to 2014

♣ Recycling- Coca Cola had developed a vision to recycle and reuse water aims to return at least the amount of water that it uses in its operations back to the environment through waste water treatment. It hopes that this treated water is at least at a level that supports aquatic life. Even though its not possible to return all the water to the standard of drinking, the aims to return water at a level where it can be used for secondary activities like gardening and toilet use. Over the past three years Coca has been able to increase water recycling at its plants as shown in Table 1. Table 1: Water Recycled

It created a portfolio of carbon reduction interventions and developed initial annual reduction targets. They track their performance with indicators like energy use ratio that is the amount of energy used for producing a liter of beverage. Investment in a number of best in class and innovative technology has allowed Coca Coal to reduce its energy usage from 79% in 20012 to 67% in 2014. (Coca Cola India,
