Carbon Reduction Alliance

Learn more about the Carbon Reduction Alliance and its initiatives (available in Chinese).

Swire Coca-Cola has launched a Carbon Reduction Alliance Programme in the Wild Elephant Valley of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province. The programme involves collaborating with partners all along Swire Coca- Cola’s value chain to reduce carbon emissions and contribute to building a sustainable future.

As phase one of the programme, Swire Coca-Cola has joined forces with the International Foundation for the Protection of Animals and the Xishuangbanna Tropical Rainforest Conservation Foundation to establish a tranche of Carbon Reduction Farmland in the village of Daotangqing, located on the edge of Xishuangbanna National Natural Reserve. Over 200 acres of agricultural land has been cultivated with eco-friendly planting and 100 bee colonies have been established in the nearby Nanmanhe community. The project aims to reduce human-elephant encounters and incorporate sustainability into the local agricultural industry through reforestation and the introduction of beekeeping. The key objective is to create an eco-friendly community, where biodiversity can be sustained, while achieving the national goal of rural revitalisation; it is hoped the project will ultimately become a development role model for low-carbon communities.
