CCEP's Scope 1, 2 and 3 targets are SBTi-validated and its emissions data carries EY limited assurance. Absolute Scope 1–3 emissions were 13.6% below the 2019 baseline in 2024, against a 30%-by-2030 target. Group renewable electricity was 60.2% in 2024, with Europe near-complete and the APS region fossil-heavy. A 2024 greenwashing complaint in France and regulatory corrections on recycling claims are on record. Scope 3 supply-chain coverage is incomplete and biodiversity targets are early-stage.
