This honors brands that take great responsibility for the environment through ecologically sustainable (production) measures. The successful re-validation of GREEN BRANDS Austria 2014/2015 means that Römerquelle was the first brand to confirm its award and can therefore use the seal with the star for the coming period. “The protection of the environment has always been an important concern for Coca-Cola Hellenic Austria and Römerquelle. Sustainable management and the conscientious use of our resources are central to our corporate philosophy. We are very pleased that we have succeeded in confirming this award and see it at the same time as an incentive and motivation to continue on the path we have chosen, ”said Susanne Lontzen, Public Affairs & Communications Director of Coca-Cola Hellenic Austria. Römerquelle has taken many sustainable measures to protect the environment in recent years, in order to reduce the consumption of the valuable raw material water, and new technologies are constantly being developed. For example, waterless lubrication of the conveyor belts was introduced for all PET production lines, and the cleaning water from the bottle washer is also used to pre-clean the beverage crates. “After being nominated again, Römerquelle was able to prove in a demanding re-validation process that ecological sustainability is not lip service, but can be proven again with hard facts. In this respect, the highly competent jury is also happy about the second award in a row, ”said Norbert Lux, COO of the GREEN BRANDS organization. In addition to the "GREEN BRANDS Austria" seal, Römerquelle has been carrying the Austrian eco-label since 1995. In addition, Römerquelle has been EMAS certified for years. This voluntary environmental management system distinguishes companies with exemplary environmental protection efforts and ongoing improvements, the certification is to be extended this year to the new production facility in Edelstal. *** Questions and further information: Susanne Lontzen, Coca-Cola HBC Austria GmbH, Triester Straße 91, 1100 Vienna Tel .: 01/610 60-262, mobile 0664/962 62 62, e-mail: medien.at@cchellenic.com Das Unternehmen Coca-Cola Hellenic Österreich Coca-Cola Hellenic Österreich versorgt flächendeckend den gesamten österreichischen Markt mit Produkten aus dem Hause Coca-Cola.
