Why work with Coca-Cola HBC Croatia?

All drinks produced by Coca‑Cola HBC Croatia must comply with local laws. All our products also meet global quality standards: quality management system ISO 9001 and the systems of food safety management ISO 22000, PAS 220 and FSSC 22000.

From the selection of ingredients through to production and delivering products on the market, we follow our internal TCCC PEEL requirements – these are the global requirements set by The Coca‑Cola Company for quality, product safety, environmental protection and safety at work.

We carry out a range of activities, from preventive measures to monitoring, as well as internal and external control.

Very strict quality control takes place at every stage of the production process. Production begins with syrup made from concentrate or beverage base, and ends with the final products being packed in plastic, glass, cardboard boxes and cans. Ingredients and packaging materials are sourced from authorised vendors. The ingredients we use, as well as the finished products, are tested in our laboratories for quality control. In addition to the controls carried out by internal and external laboratories, Coca‑Cola occasionally performs random testing with the market in its Brussels laboratories.

Our high-quality products are a big factor in the positive feedback we receive from our customers and consumers, not only through a free info-line, but also through direct contact in the field.

Transparency is important to us. To respond to the growing expectations of our stakeholders, we approach the subject with due diligence – we strive to provide accurate, clear and easily accessible information on all our products, setting out their composition and nutritional value. 

In line with our own quality and food safety policy, we specify the origin of our product ingredients (raw material); our products' composition, including substances (raw materials) that may have an impact on the environment or people; the safe use and storage of the product, as well as the impact of disposal on the environment or people.

We also educate customers about the proper use of our products through brochures and special training. Information is also available on the website and the most important information can be seen on the product label. 

In addition to complying with all local legal requirements relating to the declaration of product information, we provide guidance on daily calorie intake, or GDA (Guideline Daily Amounts) which refers to the approximate amount of calories, fat, saturated fat, total sugar, salt or sodium needed for a balanced diet for healthy adults and children.

Our customers are our most important partners and are at the heart of everything we do.

Through our business strategy we are committed to winning with our customers. For example, we’re trying to create a unified value added tax, based on profitability and growth, both for our company and for our customers.

Coca‑Cola HBC Croatia has six distribution centres and more than 32.800 customers - shops, restaurants, supermarkets, discount chains and other establishments that sell our products. In 2015, our customers rated us as their top supplier, which reaffirms that we’re working together successfully, building strong, long-term partnerships. The success we have achieved is based primarily on constantly identifying customer needs and monitoring customer satisfaction.
