UNESDA - Soft Drinks Europe

We are set to follow today's hearing of Jessika Roswall , Commissioner-designate for Environment, Water Resilience and Competitive Circular Economy. We are keen to find out how Ms. Roswall will promote the European Water Resilience Strategy and the #CircularEconomy . What is particularly important is that the #EU prioritises the smooth and qualitative development of the secondary legislation necessary to the proper implementation of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation ( #PPWR ). This will help accelerate the #EU ’s sustainability ambitions and our sector’s goals, while also creating a secondary raw materials market in the EU to enable industry to achieve its targets. We are eager to collaborate with Ms. Roswall and her team to create a more sustainable Europe that also supports the #competitiveness of businesses. 🔎 More in our Manifesto ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/djhd2GzA

Ready for the start of the confirmation hearings of the Commissioners-designate? Today, we will gain insights into the priorities that Christophe Hansen , Commissioner-designate for Agriculture and Food, has set for the #EU ’s #agrifood industry. We are particularly interested to know how Mr. Hansen plans to implement supportive policies for the entire #agrifood chain that: → are science-based → promote fairness across the #food supply chain to ensure there is no discrimination against any specific food, drink or ingredient → help the industry thrive and stay competitive We look forward to collaborating with Mr. Hansen and his team to further contribute to the transition towards more sustainable food and #drink environments in Europe. Our sector is a key player in this journey, supporting over 1.8 million #jobs across our value chain in Europe and sourcing over 85% of our ingredients from European #farmers . 🔎 Find out more in our Manifesto ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/djhd2GzA #OurSectorMatters

What happens even during the autumn school break? Our sector remains committed to reinforcing the implementation of its school policies across Europe: ➡️ We do NOT sell #SoftDrinks in primary schools (through direct distribution) ➡️ The only soft drinks we sell in secondary schools are low- and no-calorie (through direct distribution) and only in non-branded vending machines, without logos or commercial communications According to the latest monitoring conducted by third-party auditors, UNESDA corporate members are highly compliant with the sector’s school policies in the four selected EU countries for the monitoring: 🔹 100% (primary schools) and 92.3% (secondary schools) in Austria 🔹 100% (primary schools) and 93.4% (secondary schools) in Italy 🔹 100% (primary schools) and 100% (secondary schools) in Slovenia 🔹 100% (primary schools) and 96.2% (secondary schools) in Sweden 🔎 Find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dcPaPXMc #DoingOurPart #EUCodeOfConduct

Happy #SustainabilityDay ! This is a great opportunity to underline our sector's #sustainability actions and policy needs ahead of the upcoming hearing of Jessika Roswall , Commissioner-designate for Environment, Water Resilience and Competitive Circular Economy. We fully support the #EU ’s ambitious #climate goals and the objective of building a sustainable Europe by 2030. As part of our commitment, we are driving environmental sustainability throughout our value chain – from production to distribution – through a wide range of actions. When it comes to #PackagingCircularity , we are focused on improving the sustainability of our #packaging through reduction, collection, #recycling , #reuse and #refill . We have been an active and constructive stakeholder during the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation ( #PPWR ) legislative process, viewing it as an opportunity to be an enabler for accelerating our sustainability ambitions, e.g. roll-out of #DepositReturnSystems ( #DRS ) in Europe, and helping to create a secondary raw materials market in the EU, which is essential for achieving the EU’s targets. Now is the time to prioritise the smooth and qualitative development of the secondary legislation necessary to the proper implementation of the PPWR. We are prepared to engage with policymakers to create a more sustainable future for Europe, our consumers and our businesses, ensuring a balance between sustainability efforts and #competitiveness goals. 🔎 More in our Manifesto ⤵️ https://lnkd.in/djhd2GzA

Next Wednesday is set to be another key moment with the hearing of Olivér Várhelyi, Commissioner-designate for Health and Animal Welfare. We are keen to learn how Mr. Várhelyi plans to promote balanced diets in Europe. Our sector is making a significant contribution to supporting balanced lifestyles. For many years, we have been #DoingOurPart by accelerating #SugarReduction , offering smaller pack sizes to enable portion control, and ensuring we do not market and advertise our #SoftDrinks to children. We are committed to continuing our efforts with the support of the European Commission for: 1⃣ Evidence-based and non-discriminatory policies that support safe ingredients, such as low/no-calorie #sweeteners , recognising their role in helping consumers to manage their sugar intake and incentivising further reformulation for sugar reduction 2⃣ Up-to-date and reliable pan-European monitoring of #food and #drink consumption data and patterns to better understand what Europeans actually consume and what interventions can be effective 3⃣ Voluntary initiatives, including the maintenance of the #EUCodeOfConduct on Responsible Food Business and Marketing Practices, to mobilise industry actions We are ready to collaborate with policymakers to ensure a supportive, fair and science-based #EU #health and #nutrition agenda. 🔎 Explore our Manifesto to find out more 👉 https://lnkd.in/djhd2GzA

We produce more than 97% of our drinks in Europe and source over 85% of our ingredients from European #farmers . ✅ We support the EU’s goal of transitioning towards healthier and more sustainable food and drink environments. 🤝 We look forward to working together with policymakers to foster a more competitive and sustainable #SoftDrinks sector through supportive policies that are science-based, growth-oriented, and promote fairness across the food supply chain to ensure there is no discrimination against any specific food, drink or ingredient. 🔎 Find out more in our Manifesto 👉 https://lnkd.in/djhd2GzA #OurSectorMatters

Why regulate when voluntary initiatives deliver positive change? Look at how the European Commission ’s #EUCodeOfConduct on Responsible Food Business and Marketing Practices has encouraged a wave of voluntary commitments from the entire #food and #drink industry to create a more sustainable food system in the #EU . Voluntary initiatives like this should be supported in the new EU mandate. Our sector has pioneered voluntary actions for over 20 years, and is proud to keep delivering on its commitments. Here's an example of our latest achievements in #PackagingCircularity : ✅ a majority of UNESDA corporate members have already reached the sector’s goal of 100% #recyclability by 2025 - or are very close. 🔎 Find out more in our latest progress report 👉 https://lnkd.in/dYaPfC8s
