Infact, all the returnable glass bottles (RGBs) that we have purchased after March 19, 2009 have nutritional labeling on the bottles itself while for bottles that have been purchased prior to this date, we provide this information on the bottle closures (crowns). In addition, we have also made a global commitment to provide front-of-packaging (FOP) energy information (per serving) on nearly all of our packaging by the end of 2011.

We measure key product and package quality attributes to ensure our beverage products in the marketplace meet Company requirements and consumer expectations. Consistency and reliability are critical to our product quality and to meeting global regulatory requirements and Company standards.

Our goal is to safely return to communities and nature an amount of water equivalent to what we use in all of our beverages and their production. Returning what we use Water is the foundation of life and of every beverage we make. But within 20 years, twothirds of the worlds population may face severe water stress. Improving water quality and availability is vital to our business and the communities we serve. Its what drives our water stewardship commitment -- and our focus on reducing, recycling and replenishing.

Goal: Be the most efficient water user among peer companies. We believe that our first responsibility is to manage our own water resources in our operations wisely. Water is the most important ingredient in our beverages. Water is also used for beverage manufacturing processes such as rinsing, cleaning, heating and cooling. The Coca-Cola system in India has improved its water use efficiency (water usage ratio) by over 25 percent since 2005.

Drip irrigation projects The Coca-Cola system provides part funding to farmers to install the equipment while Krishi Vigyan Kendra provides the knowhow, training and insights to the farmers to carry out drip irrigation based farming. At the end of 2009, 113 drip-irrigation projects spread over an area of 56 hectares.

Goal: Return to the environment, at a level that supports aquatic life, the water we use in our manufacturing operations by the end of 2010 through comprehensive wastewater treatment. While we work to reduce our water use and improve our water efficiency for each litre of product we produce, we also are focused on recycling the water we use in our operations. Our global goal is to return all the water that we use for manufacturing processes to the environment at a level that supports aquatic life. In India, all our plants are already in compliance with this requirement. Typically referred to as wastewater, water used in our system operations is recycled through a treatment and cleansing process. This ensures that the quality of the wastewater meets applicable local laws and regulations before being released back into the environment. Treated wastewater is then used within our plants for utility purposes in boilers, evaporators, chillers and outside for landscape irrigation and dust control, reducing our use of external water resources. In our manufacturing plants, wastewater is a result of production processes, such as container-washing systems, line lubrication and equipment cleaning. The generated wastewater is fully treated at the on-site Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and this typically includes secondary treatment (including the collection of wastes, screening/settling of solids, biological treatment to remove nutrients and disinfection and disposal) to meet The CocaCola Company (TCCC) and the Indian Pollution Control Board (PCB) norms. It is pertinent to mention here that TCCC norms are typically more stringent than the local regulatory norms applicable to our Industry. Additionally, all the discharged waste water is measured and also used in many plants for developing green belt inside the plants. Thus, the treated waste water in large number of units complies with Zero Discharge norm of the PCB where in all the treated waste water is utilized within the plant premises for on-land discharge. The treated wastewater is also used for secondary purposes of the plant, such as toilet cleaning, floor wash etc which is in keeping with our policy to reduce water and use recycled water for secondary purposes within our plants.

Goal: Expand global support of healthy watersheds and sustainable community water partnerships. Water is a resource under great pressure globally. Population growth, climate change and global development will increase pressure on freshwater resources. Ingredients that rely on or impact freshwater resources may be challenged if effective use and replenishment practices are not in place. As we prepare our business for the future, we are working to sustain the availability of water for our products and communities. We work to balance the water we use in our finished beverages by participating in locally relevant water replenishment projects that support communities and nature. In India, our efforts to Replenish groundwater is focused on the creation of rainwater harvesting structures, construction of check dams, restoration of ponds and traditional water bodies and projects that help improve water use efficiency in agriculture like drip irrigation. For the projects that the Coca-Cola system undertakes in India, NGOs and local communities help identify priority areas and then the Company collaborates with local communities to establish rainwater harvesting partnerships. Our NGO partners implement the projects and mobilize community members to ensure that local knowledge plays an important part in planning and assessment. At the end of 2010, our system in India had installed more than 400 rainwater harvesting structures spread across 22 states. These structures have been installed in partnership with Resident Welfare Associations, Market Welfare Associations, Educational Institutions, Industry Associations, NGOs and local communities. We had also undertaken the restoration of several ponds including the historical Sarang pond in Sarnath and Lehartara pond in Varanasi. We had also constructed check dams in several areas of the country like at Kalahasti in Chittoor, in Andhra Pradesh, at Ramnagaram near Bangalore and at Wada near Mumbai. These initiatives are helping us reach our goal of reaching a zero water balance with respect to groundwater usage. By achieving a zero water balance with respect to groundwater usage, the Coca-Cola system in India will create a rainwater harvesting potential equivalent to the amount of groundwater used for its operations in India.

Our vision is to advance a packaging framework in which our packaging is no longer seen as waste, but instead as a valuable resource for future use. To realize this zero waste vision, we are guided by a commitment to continuous improvement. Completing the cycle Packaging adds value to our products by increasing shelf life, minimizing breakage, reducing transportation and handling costs, safeguarding public health, providing product information and creating consumer convenience. But in an era of rising energy costs and scarce resources, we must work toward packaging that adds value not only to our products, but also to our environment and society.

We aim to be amongst the most efficient users of consumer-preferred packaging in the global beverage industry and in India. This begins in our package development stage, where we work to use the least amount of natural resources necessary to protect product quality and meet consumer needs. One of the ways we conserve natural resources is by light weightingtaking weight and material out of our packaging. Our packaging innovation teams are continually testing packages and looking for new ways to decrease our raw material use while also reducing costs. In India, over the last decade, we have successfully reduced the weight of our glass bottles used for packaging sparkling beverages ranging from 10% to 33% for different pack sizes .

Another aspect of our package development process is to work with the industry associations and all others involved in the recycling value chain to recover and recycle packages after they are used. We work in partnership with local communities to help develop economically and environmentally effective solutions tailored to meet their specific needs. The majority of our packages are 100 percent recyclable and among the most recycled consumer packages in the world. This is a result of our selection of materials that have an established economic value, justifying their collection and reuse. In a bid to promote the recycling of PET packages, the Company periodically sources merchandise like T-shirts made from recycled PET and distributes it amongst its employees and business partners such that they become ambassadors of the cause.

Our goal is to grow the business, not the carbon in our manufacturing operations. Improve the energy efficiency andreduce emission of greenhouse gases in cold drink equipment. Protecting our climate together At Coca-Cola India we believe that climate change is a profound challenge that will require concerted action by government, business and civil society. We also recognize that climate change may have long-term direct and indirect implications for our business and supply chain. We have a role to play in working to use the best possible mix of energy sources while improving the energy efficiency of our manufacturing and distribution processes. Our climate protection efforts start inside the Company, with a combination of action and education in the three areas explained below, where we have the biggest climate protection opportunity:

Cold-Drink Equipment With climate change most closely associated with burning fossil fuels, it surprises many people to learn that a portion of our emissions of greenhouse gases comes from the cooling equipment that keeps our beverage products cold. With an aim to improve the energy efficiency of our cooling equipment to reduce the emissions, The Coca-Cola Company has developed a proprietary device called energy management system (EMS). The EMS is a device that reduces energy consumption of a cooler up to 35% by allowing the temperature inside the cooler to rise (between 7?C to 14?C) during periods when the outlet is closed and maintains the correct cooler temperature (between 0?C and 7?C) during the active hours of the outlet. The EMS manages this by detecting the people movement in-front of the cooler through an infrared sensor eye & through the cooler door opening and closing counts. The unit is totally self managing and does not require any special interference of the user. It can substantially reduce the number of service calls whilst saving on average up to 35% energy (when compared with a 24hour running cooler without EMS). Additionally, the EMS facilitates longer life to the compressor, fans and lights in a cooler, by protecting against High voltage (> 250V) & Low voltage (< 180V) supplies and saves maintenance cost of the cooler owner. All the cooling equipment of more than 250 liters capacity that we bought in 2009 were 100% fitted with EMS which is also mentioned on the cooler body (labels). We have also made 100% transition to HFC free (Hydroflourocarbons free) insulation foam for our cold drink equipment. Facilities and bottling plants Achieving energy efficiency is a continuous process and we are consistently working on fixing the basics -- fixing leaks, insulating pipes, reducing pressure and optimizing temperatures, as well as investing in efficient lighting, compressor optimization and heat recovery. At some of our bottling plants, we have converted the conventional boilers into biomass-based briquette boilers such that there are fewer emissions.

As a product, beverages have an extensive presence in India and are widely distributed. Such a distribution system requires efficient management of the distribution fleet to keep our carbon emission levels low. As a beginning and with a view to be more environment-friendly, our product delivery vehicles owned by our bottling partners in Delhi now operate on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). CNG is a fossil fuel substitute for gasoline (petrol), diesel or propane fuel. Although its combustion does produce greenhouse gases, it is a more environmentally clean alternative to those fuels and it is much safer than other fuels in the event of a spill (natural gas is lighter than air, and disperses quickly when released). CNG is made by compressing natural gas (which is mainly composed of methane [CH4]), to less than 1% of its volume at standard

Our suppliers and business partners are vital to our continued success .They provide our system with materials, including ingredients, packaging and machinery, as well as goods and services.

Having a sound, stable and ethical supply base is important for our growth and the footprint we leave in local communities around the world. Our suppliers provide our system with materials, including ingredients, packaging and machinery, as well as goods and services. As a Company, we have a responsibility to hold our direct suppliers and bottling partners to standards commensurate with our own operations. Our suppliers are expected, at a minimum, to conduct business in an ethical manner and comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Our Supplier Guiding Principles (SGPs) communicate our values and expectations for our bottling partners and business partners. They are the foundation of our commitment to promote the respect of labor rights among our business partners. The SGPs are a requirement for all direct suppliers of goods and services to the Coca-Cola India System and all suppliers of materials that are specifically authorized by The Coca-Cola Company for use by our suppliers. The SGPs are included or where necessary, incorporated by reference in all supplier contracts, and many suppliers receive training to facilitate implementation. Global policy requires that suppliers be assessed for compliance at least once every three years by an authorized external auditing agency. If non-compliance is found, we provide a timeframe and offer expertise for corrective action by the facility. We also require follow-up assessments of non-compliant facilities as frequently as every six months. Suppliers have offered positive feedback on the SGPs program, including the observation that it supports the transition of their Human Resources teams from an administrative function to a professional department. Following the implementation of the new Labor Contract Law, weve also received feedback on the value of offering support and education regarding the relevant laws and compliance. We do recognize that some suppliers may view the audit process as time- and resource-intensive. To alleviate inefficiencies for suppliers who sell to ours and other companies, we are willing to review and accept results of third-party audits completed for other companies with comparable supplier codes, and we encourage our suppliers to share our audit results with their other customers.

Compliance with Applicable Laws and Standards Suppliers to The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola India and suppliers authorized by The Coca-Cola Company and Coca-Cola India are required to meet the following standards, at a minimum, with respect to their operations as a whole. Laws and Regulations Supplier will comply with all applicable local and national laws, rules, regulations and requirements in the manufacturing and distribution of our products and supplies and in the provision of services. Child Labor Supplier will comply with all applicable local and national child labor laws. Forced Labor Supplier will not use forced, bonded, prison, military or compulsory labor. Abuse of Labor

Demonstration of Compliance Supplier must be able to demonstrate compliance with the Supplier Guiding Principles at the request and satisfaction of The Coca-Cola Company. These minimum requirements are a part of all agreements between The Coca-Cola Company and its direct and authorized suppliers. We expect our suppliers to develop and implement appropriate internal business processes to ensure compliance with the Supplier Guiding Principles. The Company routinely utilizes independent third parties to assess suppliers compliance with the SGP; the assessments generally include confidential interviews with employees and on-site contract workers. If a supplier fails to uphold any aspect of the SGP requirements, the supplier is expected to implement corrective actions. The Company reserves the right to terminate an agreement with any supplier that cannot demonstrate that they are upholding the SGP requirements.
