April has been dubbed as “sustainability month,” and sustainability and environmental impact initiatives have become increasingly more important for businesses — especially for bottling companies like Charlotte-based Coca-Cola Consolidated, the largest Coke bottling company in the U.S.
Esther Moberly was hired as the company’s first-ever sustainability manager almost two years ago, just a few years after the company created its sustainability department dedicated to ensuring the company follows EPA regulations and minimizes its environmental footprint. Moberly has over 20 years of experience in environmental program design and implementation for organizations.
In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Ledger staff writer Lindsey Banks sits down with Moberly to talk about the importance of sustainability in corporate operations, Coca-Cola Consolidated's specific initiatives and how residents can engage in environmental advocacy efforts led by the company. They also discuss:
Coca-Cola Consolidated's position within the broader Coca-Cola brand and its operational independence.
Moberly’s professional journey and transition to her current role as sustainability officer.
The specific sustainability initiatives in Charlotte, including package recovery, water stewardship, and emissions reduction.
Partnerships with local venues and events like Bank of America Stadium, Spectrum Center and the Charlotte Motor Speedway to promote environmental practices.
The confusion surrounding recycling practices and the company's efforts to educate the public on effective recycling techniques.
Advice for personal and corporate actions that can aid in reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability.
We hope you enjoy the conversation with Esther Moberly.
