Building a sustainability program, with Esther Moberly of Coke Consolidated

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.

This episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast was produced by Lindsey Banks.
