FS As the strongest, broadest and most flexible in the industry it caters to a growing range of tastes and preferences. SSR With over 100 brands, covering eight categories, we have SI evolved our offering dramatically in the past two decades as we have innovated and shifted into new and exciting brands and categories. Each category has a unique strategy targeted at driving profitable growth. We are seeing strong growth in our low‑and no‑sugar variants, in line with our sustainability strategy, which includes reducing calories by 25% in the sparkling category over 10 years to 2025. Alongside that, we have increased our focus on premiumisation through accelerating the adult sparkling segment, adding premium water and juice offerings, introducing new products such as Coca‑Cola Energy and exploring new categories, such as plant‑based beverages with AdeZ. We consider coffee to be a highly promising category and The Coca-Cola Company’s acquisition of Costa Coffee is an exciting opportunity in the years ahead.

IT TAKES BEING WITH CONSUMER CHOICE 4 COCA-COLA HBC IT TAKES BEING IN THE MARKETPLACE Our route-to-market strategy ensures that we create value for our customers by ensuring that the right outlets receive the right beverages, in the right pack, in the right quantities, at the right time and at the right price. In line with our improving portfolio, we are continuously strengthening our route to market and partnering with our customers to bring our 24/7 portfolio into the hands of our consumers faster and with greater efficiency. Our route to market is increasingly segmented to offer more customer service options, aiming to capture the full potential of each individual outlet rather than just the channel. At the same time the broader portfolio requires greater sales force specialisation, with dedicated teams for the premium CLUBS Hotels, restaurants and cafes (HoReCa) channel for RESTAU example, and this is an important part of how we RANT S & B ARS activate these great brands in the market.

Innovation helps us become more customer‑centric. Our sales force automation tool embeds the latest technology into a single user‑friendly solution that enables our sales people to make customer‑specific suggestions of products and quantities, and track performance and execution in real time. At the same time, we are building a network of connected coolers that produce significantly lower emissions, while maximising performance by tracking door openings and inventory and undertaking automatic stocking and ordering. These ‘smart coolers’ connect directly to the sales person’s device, freeing up time to spend with the customer. We are also applying innovation to our manufacturing and logistics to expand our technical capabilities while ensuring productivity and cost savings. Innovative approaches to manufacturing are helping us manage growth at our mega plants while consuming less energy and water. New, automatic line changeovers reduce idle production time and free up volume capacity, effectively expanding our production line capacity by nearly 1% per year. These lines support smaller runs of new products, helping us supply niche market segments and respond to rapidly changing consumer preferences. And in the warehouse, new augmented reality technology helps us manage the complexity of our expanded 24/7 portfolio. The technology aids our warehouse colleagues in pulling inventory from stock and packing it for customer delivery, enhancing the speed and accuracy of our service.
