(OTCPK: EUSP, the "Company") an On-Site Utility solutions provider, offering clean electricity, heat, hot water and cooling solutions to healthcare, hospitality, housing, leisure centers and manufacturing in the United Kingdom (UK) and Europe, today announced that it has signed a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Management Contract with Coca-Cola HBC Northern Ireland Limited, a subsidiary of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, one of the largest bottlers of The Coca-Cola Company’s products worldwide. The contract initially focuses on delivering improved CHP plant efficiency, reduced emissions of carbon dioxide and operational cost savings at its Knockmore Hill bottling plant in Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
Coca-Cola HBC was recently ranked as Europe’s most sustainable beverage company by the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices; it’s the sixth time in seven years it has led the European index. The accolade recognises Coca-Cola HBC’s holistic sustainability achievements across the 28-country group. It also recently renewed its sustainability commitments, setting more ambitious targets for 2025 across six key areas including reducing emissions, which can be achieved via partnerships such as the one announced today. The commitments also cover water use and stewardship; packaging; ingredients sourcing; nutrition; and its people and communities.
In Northern Ireland and Ireland, Coca-Cola HBC has consistently delivered on the targets set. The business unit has reduced its energy usage by 18.76% since 2010, saving an estimated 32 million megajoules of energy. Furthermore, carbon emissions per litre of beverage produced have been cut by 43% since 2010.
Commenting on the contract award Chief Executive Officer, Dr Elias Samaras said “This is a significant contract for EuroSite Power and we are delighted to be working with the industry leader in sustainability. Not only does this allow us to use our extensive CHP experience and operational expertise to deliver savings for a major blue-chip customer, but it also opens doors into the broader industrial and manufacturing sectors as well as countries beyond our current sphere of operation.”
Annemarie McKinstry, Country Procurement Manager, Coca-Cola HBC Ireland and Northern Ireland said, “Coca-Cola HBC is committed to growing responsibly and our local business is proud to have consistently achieved our sustainability targets while also delivering business efficiencies.
“We are continuing to reduce our environmental footprint and have been working closely with suppliers across our three priorities: energy and climate protection, packaging and water stewardship. These collaborations are yielding industry-leading innovation, and we look forward to now partnering with EuroSite Power to achieve our future energy reduction goals.”
