Clean water is an essential ingredient of the beverages produced by Coca-Cola HBC Russia. It has been a priority for the Company to increase the rational use of water during production processes and help local rivers and reservoirs, from which plants extract this water, maintain their ability to regenerate themselves and improve their ecology.
To be able to monitor and assess water use efficiency, the company uses indicators which show the volume of water spent on the production of 1 litre of a drink. In all Coca-Cola Company's plants measures and innovations are constantly implemented to improve these indicators. That is why in 2019 at the factory in Saint-Petersburg a new innovation was introduced — the cooling system was transformed so that water circulates through the coolers in a closed loop, that resulted in nearly 40 million litres of water saved.

Sitti Social Enterprise (“Sitti”) is a lifestyle brand focused on educating, employing, and empowering refugees and individuals from displaced communities. Sitti’s innovation began with the sale of hand crafted, cold pressed olive oil soap. Noora Sharrab and Jacqueline Sofia, the founders of Sitti, were working with female refugees in Jordan’s Jerash Refugee Camp when the idea of Sitti Social Enterprise was born. The female refugees had been crafting the olive oil soap, but the soap only stayed within the community. Noora and Jacqueline were presented with the unique opportunity to sell the soap, creating a socially conscious lifestyle brand that supports the women in the refugee camp through job creation. Long-term employment has provided many benefits to the refugee community in Jordan. The refugee women can sustain their families economically while exploring other educational opportunities. Sitti is a true testament to the resiliency of these female refugees. Today, Sitti’s produces over ten lifestyle products, but their greatest accomplishment is their mission to provide long-term employment to the members of the refugee community.

Dripl is a new player in the beverage industry. It takes a lot of courage and a great product to join this crowded market and to be successful. Luckily for Dripl, their vending machine might be the innovation this industry needed. There are so many vending machines where you can buy a plastic bottle of soda, but none of them are as unique as Dripl’s. To get rid of sugars and weird additives, they have partnered with a flavor developer who only uses organic ingredients. This results in low-calorie drinks with natural flavors like Lemon, Darjeeling Ice Tea, Cranberry Rose Hip, and Ginger Lime. On the other hand, Dripl allows us to move away from buying single-use plastic bottles, as their vending machines are compatible with all sorts of reusable bottles.
This innovation is the result of four young and ambitious minds working together. After achieving their bachelor’s degree in Product Development, each of them took a different route. That results in a wide range of qualities within Dripl. But who are these ‘Driplers’? Colin Deblonde is currently studying Applied Economic Sciences. He takes the lead within Dripl and is responsible for business development, focusing on finance and sales. Lucas Moreau is studying Industrial Engineering. Therefore, his job is to create, build, compare production processes, and take care of the hardware. Lukas Marivoet is an economist, just like Colin. He takes responsibility for IT and loves to work with all sorts of numbers. Mathijs Vanacker completes the team. He is currently studying for a master’s degree in Product Development. His involvement in Dripl concerns the design, marketing, and social media. “You can see by his mustache that he’s the artistic one within our group,” laughs Colin. There is space for everyone’s talent, which makes this team such a great match. They possess the right skills and knowledge to run this company effectively.
