Coca-Cola operations contribute 0.5% to Croatia's GDP

A socioeconomic impact study indicates that Coca-Cola's operations in Croatia contribute approximately 477.4 million euros annually to the national economy, representing about 0.5 percent of Croatia's GDP.

Of this total value, 92.5 million euros is attributed to directly created added value, while 384.9 million euros is generated through activities along the value chain. The company's network includes more than 2,200 domestic suppliers and 33,000 customers. The study notes that over three-quarters of the non-alcoholic beverages placed on the Croatian market by Coca-Cola HBC are produced locally.

Regarding employment, the company directly employs 548 people, but its business system is estimated to support a total of 8,600 jobs within the Croatian economy. This equates to approximately 15 additional jobs in the wider economy for every direct position held within the Coca-Cola system. Furthermore, the study estimates the system's annual contribution to tax revenues at 231.8 million euros.
