We work towards the group's global vision of‘Growing for Good’ ; Doing the right thing by people and the planet as we produce, market and sell our drinks. The sustainable work that we do is anchored by four key pillars; our drinks, our resources, our society and ourselves, that all reinforce the UN's Sustainable Development Goals; a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. By managing the impacts and issues in these areas through ambitious targets that are clear and measurable, and by forging leadership we seek to deliver harmony with our consumers, customers and with our own employees while respecting always our natural world. Our framework of responsibility and leadership will drive us forward, guide and inspire us. It will help make our ambitious and exciting vision of Growing for Good a reality. 279 Our drinks Harmony with consumers Through our drinks we make and sell we will create harmony with our consumers, building trust in what we produce and playing a positive role in their lives. We will be a progressive force in our industry, leading by example in reducing ingredients that consumers tell us they want less of, and promoting the good stuff that helps people live more healthily and happily. Less Sugar By 2025 it is our ambition to have reduced sugar across our portfolio by 35%. We are making excellent progress and by the end of 2019 have already delivered a 19% reduction from our baseline set in 2015. As well as re-formulating our drinks to lower the sugar content we are also introducing new lower sugar, lower calorie drinks such as Lucozade Revive, a lightly sparkling, naturally flavoured fruit-based drink in the UK. We also launched Oasis O'Verger a fruity water with recipes made up of more than 46% fruit for an authentic taste, spring water and just the sugar naturally present in fruits (no added sugar / less than 5g/100 m) for ultra-refreshing pleasure. In Spain we have also introduced low calorie Schweppes Lemon, Orange, Pink and Ginger Ale. These drinks are widely distributed and are available in 98% of retail points. 280 InBenelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) we launched Oasis Aquafruit, a fruity water containing more than 40% fruits with 100% ingredients from natural origin, without added sugars or sweeteners. In the UK and Ireland we've reduced sugar across our core drink range by 50%, removing 25,000 tonnes of sugar and 98BN calories through a far-reaching reformulation programme. We've been bold with our decisions on our most famous drinks, introducing a zero or low-calorie alternative for each one of them. Across all European Export and Commercial Markets, the amount of sugar added to our beverages was reduced by 4,6% and in 2019 alone 30 new SKUs were added to the portfolio across all markets with no or low calories. ■Positive Choices We pride ourselves on providing consumers with easy-to-access nutritional information about the drinks they choose. Information is clearly displayed on all labels and on websites. We also collaborate with industry partners to promote responsible marketing of our drinks. We are a signatory to UNESDA's responsible marketing in schools programme and have pledged that none of our drinks are sold at primary schools, and drinks containing sugar are restricted for sale at secondary schools across all EU member states. The UK has created its own voluntary marketing code to ensure that responsible corporate citizenship is at the heart of everything we do. This includes our commitment not to directly market products categorised as high in fat, sugar and salt (“HFSS”) to consumers who are under the age of 16. In France, we volunteered in 2009 to not communicate on screens and in magazines aimed specifically at children under the age of 12-year-old. Since 2013, our commitments go further because we prohibit all advertising in generalist programmes including where children constitute more than 35% of the audience. In Spain our code of marketing practice specifically states that we do not advertise to children under 12 years of age or sponsor events aimed at children in schools. We also convey messages in all our advertising campaigns promoting healthy lifestyle habits. ■More Natural We continue to look at new ways to promote naturality through our drinks and have an ambition to remove all artificial colours and flavours from our product portfolio within 5 years. We respond to the consumer necessities with more natural products by replacing additives and free sugars with other components such as natural sweeteners (stevia), or through manufacturing processes so that the final product is less artificial as possible: Schweppes PINK available in Spain is a great example. In the UK new Lucozade Revive is made with natural fruit flavours, contains no artificial colours, and contains vitamins B3, B5, B6 & B12 to help reduce tiredness. In France, Oasis reinvents itself to offer drinks with less sugar and now with 100% natural origin ingredients. After having renovated in June 2019 its best-selling reference “Oasis Tropical”, then “Oasis Pomme Cassis Framboise” and “Oasis Multifruit” at the end of the year to adopt a list of ingredients 100% natural origin, the brand is committed to renovating all these other recipes by 2022 281 Our resources Harmony with nature We will manage our natural resources in a way that creates harmony with nature, never taking too much or damaging the world that we rely on in our lives and our business. We will minimise our environmental impact by applying our philosophy, Mizu To Ikiru, to the resources throughout all of our business activity: sourcing, manufacturing, packaging, distributing, selling and managing consumer waste. Less and better packaging In September 2019 we announced our goal to be the first global drinks company to use 100% sustainable plastic bottles, using fully recycled or plant-based materials across our entire portfolio by 2030. By buying increasing amounts of recycled plastic, investing heavily in new, innovative technologies, we will ultimately reduce our plastic consumption and carbon emissions. As an interim goal, our drinks containers will use 50% recycled plastic by 2025. Some of our drinks containers already use only 100% recycled plastic (rPET), for example Ribena in the UK which has been using recycled plastic for more than 10 years. We will also be ensuring that all the packaging we produce is 100% recyclable by 2025 or sooner. That means that there will be changes to be made in the containers we use, and the packaging we put products in. In Spain our packaging is already 100% recyclable and we are working towards making it fully sustainable too. Through its Lucozade Sport brand, the UK has also invested in sustainable packaging start-up, Notpla to produce edible and biodegradble pods aimed at reducing plastic packaging and liquid at mass-participation sporting events. Exemplary of a pace to reach our goals ahead of schedule is the Scandinavian region with partners such as Spendrups in Sweden and Carlsberg in Denmark and Finland, which reached rPET content of 25% or even 50% already in 2019 and testing of 100% sustainable material in the pipeline. They function as great examples and reassure us of our vision to work together with our bottlers to reach our ambitious targets. In order to reach our sustainable plastic goal, in 2019 SBFE invested in Carbios, a company pioneering a bio-industrial solution to recycling PET using an enzymatic process. SBFE is part of a consortium that is funding this ground-breaking technology in order to progress to a mass-market solution that could dramatically reduce the volume of plastic waste and ensure that there is a circular economy solution for PET.
