CCEP Overview

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc and its subsidiaries (CCEP) are a leading consumer goods group in Western Europe and Australia, the Pacific region and Southeast Asia, making, moving and selling an extensive range of primarily non-alcoholic ready to drink beverages, and are the world's largest Coca-Cola bottler based on revenue.

We are growing our business and brands as a force for good, managing our social and environmental impact, and aiming to make our people and our stakeholders proud of our actions.

CCEP continues to recognise the growing importance of Environmental, Social and Governance issues to its stakeholders, including the focus on clear and quantifiable commitments. Our sustainability action plan, This is Forward, sits at the heart of our long-term business strategy, and is built on six key social and environmental areas where we know we can have a significant impact, and which our stakeholders want us to prioritise: climate action, sustainable packaging, water stewardship, promoting the wellbeing of our people and those working across our value chain, offering consumers more choice, with less sugar, and contributing to our local communities.

In delivering our growth ambition, it is our responsibility to operate the business in the long-term interests of all our stakeholders. We live up to our responsibilities as a business by being accountable, ethical and aware of the risks in everything we do. We invest, employ, manufacture and distribute locally; maintaining a strong commitment to the wellbeing of our communities.

We are growing faster together by combining the strength and scale of our large multinational business with an expert local knowledge of the customers we serve and communities we support. Our success is built on three pillars: great brands, great people and great execution.

We seek to focus on where we can make the greatest impact for our people, partners, consumers, the environment and our community - aiming to deliver value to all our stakeholders.

Continued

2024 was another solid year for CCEP, underscored by continued top and bottom line growth, and our unwavering commitment to long-term value creation for our customers, partners, colleagues and shareholders. We have the momentum and platform to go even further together.

We make, move and sell some of the world's most loved brands - serving 600 million consumers, and supporting the growth of our 4 million customers across 31 markets. Our success is defined by the passion, hard work and commitment of the 40,657 people who work at CCEP. We combine the strength and scale of a large, multinational business with an expert local knowledge of the customers we serve and communities we support.

It was a privilege to join our colleagues in welcoming the Philippines to CCEP in 2024 in a joint venture with Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc. The integration of the Philippines - with attractive underlying growth - strengthens our geographic diversification and supports the acceleration of growth across CCEP through exchanging best practice and talent.

The Four Principles of our Tax Strategy

CCEP is transparent about its approach to tax and taxes paid, and we strive for an open dialogue with governments and society on tax matters. CCEP's tax operating environment and framework is guided by the CCEP Tax Strategy that is based on the four fundamental principles:
