What do watersheds have to do with the #SoftDrinks sector? Much more than you would imagine! Water is a critical natural resource for all of us: local communities, ecosystems, and industry. It is also the main ingredient in our soft drinks and our sector is firmly committed to managing our use of #water sustainably. In its new video, our member Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) presents its inspiring Mission Possible Replenish Project in Andalucia (Spain). Since 2019, CCEP has been working closely with WWF to restore a watershed in this region with the aim of protecting biodiversity and conserving water. This is one of the 36 Replenish Projects that CCEP is running across its 31 markets as part of its mission to replenish 100% of the water in its drinks.
