Coca‑Cola Bottlers Japan Holdings Inc. Updates Its CSV Non‑Financial Targets

Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Holdings Inc. today announced an update to its non-financial CSV Goals in March 2026.
 

Creating Shared Value (CSV) forms the foundation of the Company’s sustainability strategy. The Company aims to create economic value through business growth while delivering social value by addressing societal issues. In July 2019, Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Holdings established the CSV Goals as a framework for its non-financial targets and has since advanced concrete actions across the Group. In 2023, the Company identified and defined 13 material issues. Based on this process, the CSV Goals were organized into four categories: People, Natural Environment, Communities, and Foundation, to clarify the priority issues the Company should address. This has clarified the priority issues on which the Company should focus and enabled it to promote initiatives across the entire value chain to achieve these goals.

The update was implemented as several goals established in 2019 reached their target year in 2025. It also reflects the need to further align the goals with the material issues identified in 2023 and to address the growing need for goal management from a medium- to long-term perspective. In addition to medium-term targets set for 2030, the Company has newly established long-term targets looking ahead to 2035.
 

The updated CSV Goals incorporate areas that are essential for the long-term value creation of the business within a renewed target framework. For material issues such as Employee Development and Well-being, Sustainable Conservation of Biological Resources, Product Quality and Safety, and Corporate Governance, new goals have been established to strengthen alignment with these priorities and create a more coherent overall structure.

In addition, within the existing category of Packaging & Recycling (Circular Economy), targets have been reorganized to expand the scope of recycled material usage beyond PET bottles to also include cans and glass bottles. By promoting horizontal recycling initiatives such as bottle-to-bottle and CAN to CAN, along with lightweighting and other measures, the Company is pursuing a broader, more comprehensive, and actionable circular system.

With this update, the linkage between material issues and individual targets has been further strengthened, clarifying the structure that enables consistent management from strategy planning to execution and monitoring. By advancing initiatives across the ESG(environmental, social, and governance) domains and managing progress based on KPIs that serve as practical execution guidelines for the updated CSV Goals, the Company will enhance the effectiveness of its efforts and work toward achieving its medium- to long-term goals.
