Case Study: Equatorial Coca-Cola Bottling Company advances water security with Waterplan

Equatorial Coca-Cola Bottling Company advances 2035 water security goals with Waterplan

Equatorial Coca-Cola Bottling Company (ECCBC), a major beverage bottler in Africa, faced significant challenges in achieving its 2030 water stewardship goals. Its water-related data was fragmented across multiple systems, making it difficult to gain a consolidated view of long-term water availability and to prioritize high-impact projects. ECCBC partnered with vendor Waterplan to utilize its digital platform and develop a Water Security Roadmap (WSR), a standardized framework required by The Coca-Cola Company.

Waterplan's solution consolidated ECCBC's disparate data into a single platform, enabling a forward-looking assessment of water demand and supply for 2025 and 2035. This provided clarity on future risks and allowed for the prioritization of strategic, high-impact projects like desalination and wastewater reuse. The result was a dynamic, continuously updated Water Security Roadmap that replaced static reports, enabling real-time monitoring of risks and mitigation progress and positioning ECCBC to safeguard long-term water availability for its operations and communities.
