In 2024, 11% of all plastic waste was tied to the Coca-Cola company, according to the Guardian. In response, the beverage company said it is "committed to growing [its] business in the right way."
In 2025, Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines (CCEAP), which bottles and distributes Coca-Cola products in the Philippines, launched its first-ever fully electric beverage delivery truck.

According to The Guardian, 100 companies have been responsible for 71% of polluting gas emissions since 1988, as of 2017. If these conditions persist over the next 20 years (from 2025), The Guardian reported, global temperatures are expected to rise by 4 °C by 2100.

Reducing carbon emissions, such as those produced by gas-operated vehicles, is a worthwhile way for all to protect the integrity of our planet. Coca-Cola's efforts are commendable.
To do your part as a consumer, consider going solar, working with your community, or reducing plastic use. Dedicate yourself, when possible, to reducing your own carbon footprint, as the Coca-Cola company, which still has polluting practices, has.
