Environment
We are committed to reducing our environmental impacts while restoring resources in support of a regenerative and circular economy.
CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Our material use strategy is centered on the advancement of circularity throughout the lifecycle of our products and packaging. We are committed to supporting the reuse, recycling, repurposing and composting of our products.
We are committed to reducing our virgin plastic use. Additionally, we are committed to designing for, collaborating on and investing in circularity models so the materials we use can be kept in use and out of the environment. Sustainable packaging is a top priority for us, and we strive to deliver meaningful impact.

CLIMATE, EMISSIONS & ENERGY
We have set climate targets across our value chain that will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions while building climate resiliency. Our current 2030 emissions-reduction targets, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), are aligned to levels required to meet the Paris Agreement climate change goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C.
Our Climate Strategy
We focus on several strategic areas specific to climate that are important to our business:
- Pursuing energy and water efficiency in our operations and products
- Decarbonizing our fleet and manufacturing through renewable and low carbon energy sources and technologies
- Using climate scenario risk analyses to build climate resilience into our operations and supply chain
- Engaging with our value chain partners on our shared climate, water and circularity journey
WATER EFFICIENCY & STEWARDSHIP
Water is a vital natural resource and fundamental to our beverages. Because it is the primary ingredient in most of our beverages, we have a great responsibility to be strategic in how we use it, recognizing it is a shared resource. That is why we strive for water efficiency in our operations and implement community water stewardship and restoration projects.
We aspire to achieve Net Positive Water Impact by 2050
Water Efficiency in Operations
At all of our cold beverage bottling sites, we focus on best practices for water use measurement and management coupled with ongoing improvement activities. Our water optimization team—a cross-functional team made up of representatives from engineering, sustainability, environment, health and safety and plant operations—is tasked with this continuous improvement including implementing water saving projects.
Water Replenishment
KDP has a goal to partner with our highest water-risk operating communities to replenish 100% of water used in our beverages produced at those sites by 2030. Through collaborations with local partners, KDP has conducted on-the-ground conservation projects that have enhanced watersheds, protected habitats and conserved water. This, in turn, is leading to long-term impact in watersheds that are critical to sustaining healthy ecosystems and strengthening climate resilience.
