Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) announced unified corporate responsibility (CR) commitments to deliver positive impact, less than one year following the merger of Keurig Green Mountain and Dr Pepper Snapple Group. KDP's new "Drink Well. Do Good." CR platform was developed following extensive analysis across the company's hot and cold beverage operations and is focused in four areas:
Environment
Supply Chain
Health and Wellbeing
Communities
"As we formed Keurig Dr Pepper 11 months ago, we recognized the unique opportunity to assess our combined footprint, address the urgent issue of plastic waste in the environment and, ultimately, create a positive impact on the people and places we touch,” said KDP Chairman and CEO Bob Gamgort in a statement. “The result is our new vision for corporate responsibility, backed up by specific goals that will set the pace for our transformation."
"The entire KDP organization has quickly united behind our new ‘Drink Well. Do Good.’ platform, and we are eager to harness the power of our more than 25,000 employees in this important work," said Monique Oxender, KDP chief sustainability officer, in a statement. "Our new goals build from existing programs such as our conversion to recyclable K-Cup pods—already complete in Canada and on track to complete in the U.S. in 2020—and expanded partnerships with leading organizations like The Nature Conservancy and the Closed Loop Fund. We will seek opportunities to rapidly test, learn and apply to meet the urgent need for action and to create positive, lasting change for generations to come."
