Damian Gammell, Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, discussed the company’s 2019 full-year results and 2020 outlook during a February 2020 earnings call. He addressed the company’s energy drink strategy, stating that the category is significant and that the company has experienced growth, with market share ranging from 15 to 20 percent depending on the country. Gammell said the company believes a multi-brand approach is appropriate, noting that Monster and Rain have not yet launched in Europe but are being considered, while Coca-Cola Energy provides another platform. He described a collaborative process with The Coca-Cola Company, in which the leadership team reviews hundreds of brands every two months to assess their potential fit for the European market. Gammell also commented on sustainability investments, describing them as an investment in brand value rather than a cost. He said that consumers and customers value sustainable brands more than non-sustainable ones, and while such investments affect cost of goods sold, they ultimately drive brand value and may allow the company to protect and potentially extract more value over time, particularly through packaging innovations.
