Do we really need to change anything here? How are the newly introduced plastic bottle and can deposits working in Slovakia? We will discuss this and so much more using the insight into one of the key topics of Coca-Cola HBC’s ESG strategy. The follow-up discussion can be extended to other topics about carbon neutrality.
