History Coca-Cola was first sold to the public in 1886 at the soda fountain of Jacobs Pha rmacy in Atlanta. But it was only in 1894, with the opening of the first bottlin g plant, that the first chapter was written in the success story with which we a re all now familiar. As far bac as 1927, Romana Acque Gassose opened the first Coca-Cola manufacturi ng and bottling plant in Italy. This was followed in the 1930s by the bottling companies SRIBEG in Genoa and STI B in Leghorn, and by FAMIB in Milan, which manufactured and mar eted soft drin s under The Coca-Cola Company trademar . The independent bottling companies subse quently multiplied to the point where they were in a position to distribute Coca - Cola products all over Italy. In 1995, The Coca-Cola Company, global leader in soft drin s boasting 4 of the w orlds 5 biggest brands (Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola light (Diet Co e), Fanta and Sprite)

, decided to handle its Italian operations directly and accordingly bought the 1 1 bottling companies located in the north and centre of the country. These incre ased to 16 by 1998. Coca-Cola Bevande Italia S.p.A. emerged out of the fusion of these bottling comp anies and in 2005 too on the name Coca-Cola HBC Italia S.r.l. following the cha nge of name of the holding company from Coca-Cola Beverages to the Coca-Cola Hel lenic Bottling Company (Coca-Cola HBC), nown as Coca-Cola Hellenic. In order to expand its product portfolio and meet the needs of customers, in 200 6 Coca-Cola HBC Italia, together with Coca-Cola Italia, purchased the mineral wa ter company Fonti del Vulture situated in Rionero in Vulture, Potenza (Region of Basilicata). In 2008, Coca-Cola Hellenic added five regions of southern Italy to its territor ies by purchasing the SOCIB bottling company from the Capua Group, which had bee n operating in the Mezzogiorno since the 1960s. Coca-Cola HBC Italia is today the largest manufacturer and distributor of The Co ca-Cola Companys products in Italy. It employs over 3,300 people and has 7 factor ies and one distribution logistic centre located all over the country (Sicily ex cluded).

In a number of our ey mar ets, consumer purc hasing power and sentiment remain depressed, resulting in reduced spending and a shift in consumer preferences. Many of our consumers shop less often and with a smaller bas et, and they consume more at home rather than eating out. They are also more price-conscious and focus more on value offers. As a result, the trend towards modern, large-scale and discount retail formats has accelerated. Togeth er, these changes create new challenges for our business and require new ways of competing. We intend to meet these challenges and capture new opportunities in the mar etpl ace by building on our core strengths and continuing to focus on our strategic p riorities. Our Strategic Priorities In 2010, we continued to focus on our three core strategic priorities: Underpinning this strategy is our vision for creating long-term sustainable busi ness growth. We are globally recognised for our leadership in integrating sustai nability principles and practices into our operations1. In this Report, we outli ne how a number of our sustainability initiatives play an important role in each element of our business strategy.
