The replenish benefit is typically estimated as a long-term, average annual volume, but for some project activities it varies annually. Replenish benefits fall under three categories: Watershed Protection and Restoration (233.5 BL), Water for Productive Use (40.9 BL) and Water Access and Sanitation (17.4 BL). Due to joint venture or merger and acquisition activities between 2019–2022, certain brands may not be accounted for in this metric. Unless otherwise stated, in this report finished beverages is based on global sales volume. Approximately 13.5 BL (approx. 7%) of the water used in our beverages that we returned to nature and communities is from 7 projects located in Ukraine and Belarus where since May 2019 we have not been able to monitor projects on intervals aligned with internal guidelines due to COVID and the ongoing war. As a total beverage company, we are committed to offering people more of the drink choices they want across a range of categories and in a variety of packages. Evolving consumer tastes and preferences help steer our business strategy and shape the lineup of beverages we bring to market.

Our ambitious strategy to drive change through a circular economy for our packaging is called World Without Waste. This strategy is a global sustainable packaging platform focused on these fundamental goals: Making 100% of our packaging recyclable globally by 2025—and using at least 50% recycled material in our packaging by 2030 (Design); collecting and recycling a bottle or can for each one we sell by 2030 (Collect); and bringing people together to support a healthy, debris-free environment (Partner). We are making progress against each of these objectives, which are embedded in how we operate as a business, and we take a transparent approach to reporting our actions, results and learnings.

However, growth of plastic packaging has outpaced these efforts, so we did not reduce virgin plastic usage overall in 2022 By 2030, we aim to have at least 25% of our beverages worldwide by volume sold in refillable/returnable glass or plastic bottles or in fountain dispensers with reusable packaging Approximately 14% of total beverage volume was served in reusable packaging in 2022 14% CLIMATE Taking well-informed, decisive action to help address climate change is a priority for our company. Climate change poses risks to our business and our stakeholders. By implementing an interconnected approach across our priority sustainability issues, we are reducing the Coca-Cola system’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and building resilience in our business, value chain and local communities. We are working to reduce our carbon footprint in line with science to help avoid the worst impacts of climate change. We do this by analyzing and prioritizing the sources of GHG emissions across our value chain and by partnering with stakeholders to drive down emissions. As of 2022, we reduced our absolute emissions by 7% against a 2015 baseline, making progress toward our science-based reduction target of 25% by 2030 against the baseline.

This complex global supply chain includes many kinds of suppliers, from multinational companies to smallholder farmers. Our Principles for Sustainable Agriculture (PSA) communicate our expectations for environmental, social and economic performance to our agricultural suppliers at the farm level. The PSA, introduced in 2021, take a long-term perspective and reflect the most recent science, our total beverage company portfolio, and our increasingly diverse supply chain. The PSA are designed to encourage continuous improvement in farming practices and lead to more ethical and sustainable sourcing. Our goal is to sustainably source all our ingredients over time—such as sugar cane, corn, fruit, coffee, tea and soybeans. Sustainably sourcing our ingredients increases the resilience of our supply chain, helps to conserve nature, and empowers producers and farm workers. In practice, we encourage and support our ingredient suppliers to drive continuous improvement in sustainable farming practices, based on our PSA.

SpriteLimelight Sprite Limelight launched as the music and cultural extension of “Heat Happens,” the brand’s global platform unveiled in 2022. Grammy-winning producer James Blake crafted a lyrical hook rooted in keeping life’s “heat” at bay, and three distinctive global artists—American rapper Coi Leray, African singer-songwriter and social media sensation Omah Lay, and Chinese pop/rock singer Hua Chenyu—used the hook as inspiration for their own original songs. LilNasX and vitamin water Global superstar Lil Nas X teamed up with vitaminwater’s “Nourish Every You” campaign to showcase six videos featuring his unreleased track, “Give Me One Chance.” Each featured a unique vitaminwater flavor—focus, shine, energy, xxx zero, gutsy and ice—to create a fantasy world inspiring fans to nourish all of their “yous.” “Nourish Every You” was inspired by the insight that vitaminwater fans want to take care of themselves, but are living with fluctuating physical, emotional and spiritual needs.

This was followed by interviews with more than 30 internal and external stakeholders and an online survey that had 90 responses from across the globe. Stakeholders we talked to represent a diversity of views and have deep expertise across a range of issues and sectors. The stakeholders included investors and financial institutions, NGOs, bottling partners, trade and industry associations, business peers, customers and suppliers. Our comprehensive 2022 review process resulted in an updated priority topics matrix, which reflects adjustments to several key issues in response to feedback from both internal and external stakeholders. The updated matrix continues to demonstrate that our priority topics are Packaging & Circularity and Water Stewardship, followed by Health & Nutrition and Climate Change. Responsible Sourcing and Talent Attraction, Retention and DEI increased in importance versus the prior year. We have implemented management initiatives to address these priority topics. We also continue to evolve our strategic approach to effectively manage associated business risks and opportunities in light of the ongoing changes to both our business and the external context in which we operate. This is detailed in the individual sections of the report.

1 The pr eviously reported figure of 18.5 million people provided access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene since 2010, was through working collectively with The Coca-Cola Foundation, bottlers, implementing partners and other co-funders. 2 Substan tially all replenish data is internally validated and verified; the equivalent volume for 100% Replenish rate (182.9 Billion litres BL) is externally assured. Peer- reviewed methodologies were used to calculate volumetric benefits per project and operating unit for all externally assured data; one exception was approved for internally validated and verified data. The replenish benefit is typically estimated as a long-term, average annual volume, but for some project activities it varies annually. Replenish benefits fall under three categories: Watershed Protection and Restoration (233.5 BL), Water for Productive Use (40.9 BL) and Water Access and Sanitation (17.4 BL). Due to joint venture or merger and acquisition activities between 2019–2022, certain brands may not be accounted for in this metric.

Unless otherwise stated, in this report finished beverages is based on global sales volume. Approximately 13.5 Billion liters (approx. 7%) of the water used in our beverages that we returned to nature and communities is from 7 projects located in Ukraine and Belarus where since May 2019 we have not been able to monitor projects on intervals aligned with internal guidelines due to COVID and the ongoing war. 3 Man y of our water replenishment projects are funded by The Coca-Cola Foundation. SECTION SCOPE: In this section our water leadership work refers to actions by the company, The Coca-Cola Foundation as well as our owned and independent bottling partners and our independent suppliers and partners. Water Leadership Water is a priority for The Coca-Cola Company because it is essential to life, our beverages and the communities we serve. It is also critical to public health, food security, biodiversity and the climate crisis. The world is experiencing increased water insecurity, which is evident through water scarcity, with demands for safe, usable water exceeding supply in certain areas. We have operations nearly everywhere in the world— in more than 200 countries and territories.

We prioritized our operating facilities, commercial regions, sourcing regions for global priority ingredients, watersheds and communities. Operations We analyzed water sourcing risks across approximately 700 operational locations (mainly concentrate plants and bottling facilities) and mapped the minor river basins and sourcing basins of these facilities. We catalogued these locations based on the detailed mapping and results from an Enterprise Water Risk Assessment from the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct 3.0 tool and from Facility Water Vulnerability Assessments—our site-level, internal proprietary tool. As a result, each facility has been placed within one of three categories: •  LEADERSHIP LOCATIONS: Approximately 25% of our facilities face the highest level of water-related risks and are on a path to 100% regenerative water use by 2030.

• ADVANCEDEFFICIENCY LOCATIONS: System facility locations in a water-stressed context that will drive advanced water efficiency improvements in operations. • CONTRIBUTINGLOCATIONS: System facility locations in areas with low water-related risks. These will contribute to water security overall by implementing the Coca-Cola system's Water Resource Sustainability Standard, achieving industry benchmark water efficiency and 100% compliance with wastewater discharge standards. Watersheds Similarly, we undertook a comprehensive process to identify priority watersheds across our system. These include our Leadership Locations and their water sources, where we source global priority ingredients, key growth markets and priority communities. Communities We also began mapping priority communities, based on their lack of access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and resilience to water- related impacts of climate change (e.g., floods and droughts), with a focus on communities close to our facilities, and/or in urban growth centers where we sell our products, and/ or in rural farming communities where we source ingredients.

By mapping and overlaying our priority facilities, watersheds and communities, we have developed a framework of prioritization and a deeper understanding of risks, which will help us develop holistic, integrated and context-based approaches to help increase water security where it matters the most in our business, operations and supply chains. DefiningRegenerativeW ater Use  Regenerative water use means facilities must reduce, reuse, recycle and replenish the water used in operations in the local correlated watersheds for beneficial social, economic and/or environmental uses by other stakeholders and nature. 1 During the course of implementation of our 2030 Water Security Strategy we will review our prioritization periodically, as risks evolve and/or new data emerges. This may lead to changes in the prioritized facilities, watersheds and communities.

PRIORITIZING OPERATIONS, COMMUNITIES AND WATERSHEDS Makingthe  Greatest  Impact Wher e  It  Matters  Most  by Doing Wha t  Matters  Most Prioritizing operations, watersheds and communities in Türkiye In Türkiye, we identified an operating facility located in a water- stressed area as a priority facility (Leadership Location) in the city of Bursa in the north-west of the country. The facility is owned and operated by our bottling partner Coca-Cola İçecek. Further, we identified the Bursa/Balikesir watershed as a priority because it not only serves as a water source for our facility but also because it supports the growing of apples, peaches and nectarines that we source as ingredients in our products. In addition, we identified seven farming villages in the same province as priority communities, based on their location in ingredient sourcing and key market growth regions. The watershed faces high levels of water scarcity and pollution of water sources from local industries, including textiles and agriculture (e.g., use of insecticides).

The watershed faces high levels of water scarcity and pollution of water sources from local industries, including textiles and agriculture (e.g., use of insecticides). Rural farming communities have relatively low levels of access to clean water. The operating facility is driving water efficiency improvements by conducting a gap assessment against the Coca-Cola system’s Water Resource Sustainability Standard compliance process and working with a third-party consultancy to screen options for improving water efficiency in our operations. We developed a watershed stewardship plan which includes supporting farmers to improve irrigation efficiency and reduce water contamination, reforestation efforts to help filter water pollution and regulate precipitation and evaporation flows, and helping communities to install rainwater harvesting systems. In this way we are working to help improve water security by focusing on actions we can take both within and outside our operations to help improve water efficiency and watershed health as well as support local communities and farmers through interventions that are relevant to the local context. See the Sustainable Agriculture section for more details on how we are supporting farmers to improve water management in growing our ingredients in this region.

The purpose of this standard is to identify and reduce water quality- and quantity-related challenges for our operations. To decrease water use in our operations, we use internal tools such as the Water Efficiency Catalogue, which assesses technical standards (e.g., on-line flow monitoring, water collection and reuse capabilities) and team culture (e.g., training and communication on the importance of water efficiency) regarding water efficiency in our production facilities and provides innovative best practices (e.g., water reuse for package rinsing and water-free lubrication of conveyor belts). In the development of new plants, we leverage our Sustainability by Design Tool to ensure that water-efficient processes are implemented and that we achieve best-in-class water efficiency . We have set an ambitious target to reduce our water use ratio by 20% by 2030 from a 2015 baseline for all operations across the system.

We have set an ambitious target to reduce our water use ratio by 20% by 2030 from a 2015 baseline for all operations across the system. We are focused on water efficiency improvements in Leadership Locations and Advanced Efficiency Locations that operate in water-stressed contexts, which has resulted in a water use ratio of 1.79 liters of water used per liter of beverage in 2022. This is our highest achievement in water efficiency to date and significantly better than the industry average for carbonated soft drinks of 1.91 l/l of beverages. 1 CostofW ater We have partnered with denkstatt to develop a “Cost of Water” tool for our teams. This tool will help us get a better understanding of the cost of water by evaluating the costs associated with potential water risks in addition to the operational costs associated with water use. Better understanding of these costs will help strengthen decision making and the business case for investment in initiatives that respond to local challenges. In 2022, we also worked with Bluerisk and Valuing Impact and a number of peer companies to better understand how projects returning water to communities and nature help create societal value.

In 2022, we also worked with Bluerisk and Valuing Impact and a number of peer companies to better understand how projects returning water to communities and nature help create societal value. Across the 22 projects analyzed, we learned that these projects not only generated 210 million cubic meters of volumetric water benefits, but also delivered $39 million in societal value, with an average societal return on investment (SROI) of 3.9. We have a goal to achieve 100% regenerative water use in all our 175 Leadership Locations globally by 2030. In 2022, we included progress against water replenishment in Leadership Locations as a metric for the Long-Term Incentive (L TI) plan for our executive leadership team.

WatershedStewardshipPlans MEXICO In Chihuahua, Mexico, we partnered with The Nature Conservancy, a global environmental nonprofit organization, to develop a watershed stewardship plan for the Lago Bustillo y de los Mexicanos watershed. It was identified as a priority watershed because it supplies water to a manufacturing facility owned by our bottling partner Corporación del Fuerte, which is a Leadership Location. In addition, the watershed includes orchards from which the system sources apples. The agricultural sector and the city of Cuauhtémoc are major water users. The watershed is forecasted to face increasing water quality and quantity challenges in the coming years due to population growth and rising temperatures. With funding from Fundación Coca-Cola Mexico, our projects in this watershed have helped to improve rural communities’ access to water, mainly through rainwater harvesting systems and check dams. The watershed stewardship plan completed in 2022 helped identify key context-specific interventions to consider for future projects including, reforestation, rainwater harvesting, dams, plant nurseries, conservation of springs and community access to WASH, as well as the need to strengthen local partnerships.

Watersheds supply water for drinking, agriculture and manufacturing; provide habitat for plants and animals; and offer opportunities for recreation. Based on our 2030 Water Security Strategy, we are placing even greater emphasis on the holistic improvement of watershed health. We set a goal to improve watershed health in 60 watersheds identified as most critical for our operations and agricultural supply chain by 2030. OUR AGRICULTURAL WATER FOOTPRINT Producing the ingredients used in our beverages accounts for an estimated 92% of our total blue water 1 footprint, which is the volume of surface water and groundwater consumed in producing our finished products (evaporated or embedded in the product).

29THE COCA-COLA COMPANY 2022 BUSINESS & SUSTAINABILITY REPORT CEO MESSAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARYCONTENTS AGRICULTUREPORTFOLIO DATA APPENDIXPACKAGING FRAMEWORKSWATER OPERATIONSCLIMATE PEOPLEOUR COMPANY We adopt a human-rights based approach to water and communities. We recognize the connection between our social license to operate and functional, resilient water infrastructure. Insufficient access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure and poor water quality are key challenges faced by communities around the world. These challenges are being exacerbated by population growth, climate change, political conflict and forced migration. For more than a decade, The Coca-Cola Company has established strong leadership in community water programs with the support of The Coca-Cola Foundation and many nonprofits, governments, customers and other partners. We are updating our reporting methodology for our community water programming data to align with our 2030 Water Security Strategy and upcoming external frameworks, and we will apply it to future data reporting when ready. In 2022, our operating units began the identification of priority communities based on communities’ access to WASH and/or their resilience to the impacts of climate change (e.g., floods and droughts).

In 2022, our operating units began the identification of priority communities based on communities’ access to WASH and/or their resilience to the impacts of climate change (e.g., floods and droughts). We aim to support our priority communities in addressing shared water challenges by identifying and implementing interventions focused on: 1. Impr oving access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene. 2. E nabling adaptation to water-related climate change impacts. 3. E nsuring rapid recovery from crises. TheCo-BenefitsofW ASH A ccess We’re working with WASH4Work, an initiative hosted by the CEO Water Mandate, to develop a standardized methodology of accounting for the co-benefits of WASH projects (e.g., health, income, nutrition, safety and security, and education) and strengthen the business case for investments in WASH programs. INTEGRATING GENDER INTO WASH PROGRAMS Gender has always been a core focus for our WASH programs because we know that women and girls suffer disproportionately from poor access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene.

INTEGRATING GENDER INTO WASH PROGRAMS Gender has always been a core focus for our WASH programs because we know that women and girls suffer disproportionately from poor access to clean water, sanitation and hygiene. In 2018, The Coca-Cola Foundation partnered with Global Water Challenge (GWC), USAID and Ipsos through the Water and Development Alliance (WADA) on a study across three countries in Africa—Nigeria, Rwanda, and Eswatini—of the impact of improved WASH on women’s empowerment. This “Ripple Effect” study found that improved WASH had positive impacts on a number of important facets of women’s lives including time savings. The research established that of women who utilized time savings for economic activities, 91% saw an increase in income. Providing women with greater economic opportunity helps build resilience in their families and communities. In 2022, we were pleased to build on this work and help develop, along with WaterAid and Diageo, practical guidance to help companies and their implementing partners turn strategic commitments on community WASH and gender equality into integrated projects that result in better, more sustainable outcomes which are critical parts of the pathway to gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Aliadospor el A gua  (Allies  forW ater) In Latin America and the Caribbean, 25% of the population lack access to safely managed drinking water services.1 Climate change, urbanization, accelerated water usage, and inadequate infrastructure are among the leading causes. In response to this, Coca-Cola Latin America, in alliance with the Global Environment Technology Foundation (GETF) and local civil society organizations, designed and launched a platform called Aliados por el Agua (Aliados) to help improve access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) for 2 million people across 18 countries by 2030. In 2022, Aliados implemented more than 30 projects across 12 countries, in partnership with 26 civil society organizations, as well as local municipalities, utility providers and communities, and funding from The Coca-Cola Foundation. In addition, Coca-Cola Latin America partnered with Global Water Challenge and its women for water platform to develop theW omen  forW ater Framework forA ction—which is based on the Ripple Effect Study—and helps to integrate gender and women’s empowerment into the Aliados por el Agua platform by focusing projects on three key areas: income generation, health and wellbeing, and resilience.

Through our work, we have learned that NBS projects often have multiple co-benefits, such as better water quality, carbon sequestration, increased climate resilience, and enhanced richness and variety of life of natural habitats (biodiversity). We worked with denkstatt to develop a methodology to help us quantify and test the co- benefits of NBS projects.

We worked with denkstatt to develop a methodology to help us quantify and test the co- benefits of NBS projects. In 2022, we partnered with the CEO Water Mandate, denkstatt and others to help build the business case for NBS by developing a standardized methodology to measure benefit accrual and a means to value social return on investment. The methodology has been tested across several of our water replenishment projects in key geographies. This valuation methodology supports the broader Benefit Accounting of Nature-Based Solutions for Watersheds project, including The NBS Benefits Explorer tool, led by the Pacific Institute and CEO Water Mandate, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and LimnoTech. Our aim is to support public, private and non-profit sectors in developing effective policies and programs to incentivize greater implementation of and investment in NBS because water is at the nexus of many goals, including protecting habitats, increasing biodiversity, sequestering carbon and promoting community resilience in the face of changing weather patterns.

ReforestationHelpsRestoreW atershed  Health  inthe  Philippines The Ipo Watershed in Bulacan in the Philippines supplies water to Metro Manila, the second most populous region of the country. Forest cover within the watershed has dramatically dropped from 85% to just 40% in recent years1 due to illegal logging and unsustainable forest practices, which has resulted in a reduction in the natural water storage capacity of the basin. Malnutrition is also a pervasive challenge in local communities. Since 2016, The Coca-Cola Foundation and Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines have worked in partnership with WWF-Philippines to protect rainforests of the area, replant trees and provide livelihood opportunities. The project has reforested 165 hectares of degraded land in the watershed and supported local communities to start household gardens to grow food. In 2022 the project was assessed using the NBS valuation methodology. Overall, the project provided a very positive return on social investment and its specific co-benefits included: • WATERQUANTITY: The replenishment of approximately 400 million liters of water per year due to decreased runoff and improved water access for local communities.
