  • Eurasia and Middle East recorded winning performance across most metrics, with system recovery outpacing the economic recovery, and share gains in both NARTD and sparkling soft drinks.
  • Increased focus on premiumization efforts in key African markets helped drive year over year revenue growth.
  • Successful relaunch of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar as double-digit volume growth continues to drive share gains for NARTD in EMEA with value share growing ahead of volume share.

Quality Leadership in Action

Integrated Execution Driving System Excellence

It goes without saying that strong innovation and marketing would not take flight without excellence in execution. Working with our bottlers, we are constantly seeking to provide optimized customer solutions by segmenting markets based on occasion, brand, price, package and channel. This led to driving the highest incremental retail value among FMCG players in Europe in 2021.

Digging deeper into system alignment, we have leveraged the learnings from refillable successes in LATAM and begun to roll out the refillable initiative across the segment and are seeing promising signs of success in areas where the universal bottle and affordability RGM campaigns work in tandem, like in South Africa. Additionally, in more developed markets like Germany where collection rates are high, we were able to couple our refillable initiatives with a premiumization strategy, to offer consumers a highly sustainable glass bottle which led to winning an incremental 1 million households in 2021 versus 2019.
