Water Management: Water is a main ingredient in substantially all of the company’s products. It is vital to the production of the agricultural ingredients on which the business relies and is needed in KO’s core manufacturing processes. Also, this resource is critical to the prosperity of the communities Coca-Cola serves. Water is a limited resource in many parts of the world, facing unprecedented challenges from overexploitation, as well as rising demand for food and other consumer and industrial products whose manufacturing processes require water. These events increase the risk of pollution, poor management and effects stemming from climate change. As the demand for water continues to climb around the world, and water becomes scarcer, the overall quality of available water sources may very well deteriorate markedly, leaving the Coca-Cola system to incur higher costs or face capacity constraints that could adversely affect its profitability or net operating revenues in the long run.
