The Nigerian Bottling Company Limited, which holds authorization from the Coca-Cola Company as their bottling partner in Nigeria, received recognition for being awarded the title of Best Sustainability Project of the Year during the 2024 iteration of The Industry Awards ceremony.

The acknowledgment was for their newly established Packaging Collection Hub in Apapa, Lagos. This project showcases NBC’s dedication to environmental sustainability and ethical business operations, as mentioned in a company release.

Recently hosted in Lagos, the ceremony was organized by Industry Newspaper. This yearly event honors achievements in branding and marketing, highlighting entities and people who significantly impact West Africa’s swiftly evolving consumer goods and marketing sector.

This year’s theme, ‘Gauging Shifts in Consumer Tastes Amid Turmoil’

The ‘FMCG Space’ emphasized the significance of innovation and flexibility when addressing economic difficulties and changing customer needs.

On behalf of NBC, Oluwasoromidayo George, who serves as the Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Director, accepted the award and conveyed profound gratitude to the organizers. He highlighted that this acknowledgment acts as “a strong incentive for us to redouble our efforts in advancing environmental stewardship.”

She emphasized NBC’s dedication to innovation driven by sustainability, pointing out that the Packaging Collection Hub aims to increase recycling levels, encourage eco-friendly packaging methods, and lessen ecological harm.

“We see every bottle and aluminum can as more than just waste — it’s a resource with the potential for new life. That’s why we’re working closely with our partners and suppliers to make recycling easier, reduce packaging waste, and build a cleaner environment. In doing so, we’re also creating jobs, empowering communities, and helping to drive inclusive growth across Nigeria,” she stated.

She additionally highlighted that the accolade reflects the firm’s commitment to “recover 100 percent of their packaging for recycling or reuse by the year 2030.”

The NBC’s Packaging Collection Hub serves as an example of cooperative efforts, ecological accountability, and enduring societal influence.
