Monster energy expands its
Espresso Monster RTD coffee range Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) is expanding its Espresso Monster range with the launch of a new flavour - Espresso Salted Caramel, designed to appeal to coffee drinkers and energy drink lovers alike. The new Espresso Monster variant is a combination of real
brewed coffee and the Monster energy blend. Available in a premium ‘touch ink’ black 250ml can, the new flavour addition follows on from the successful nationwide launch of the Espresso Monster range earlier this year, which is now worth £5.5million. The flavoured cold coffee drink will provide further opportunity
for retailers to capitalise on the increasingly popular ready-to-drink RTD coffee sector, currently worth £139million and growing by 32%. The new variant is the third product to join the Monster Espresso range that includes Espresso & Milk and Vanilla Espresso. Simon Harrison, vice president, commercial development at Coca-
Cola European Partners GB, said: “The Espresso Monster range has been well received by consumers over the last year and is now worth £5.5million. The range delivers a real point of difference, combining the functionality of an energy drink with cold coffee, two soft drink segments that are delivering strong growth in GB. “The salted caramel flavour profile is already popular with consumers in coffee shops and across other food and drink categories. We’re therefore confident that the new great tasting variant will help to fuel further growth of the Espresso Monster range, delighting Monster’s core fan base whilst also recruiting new drinkers.”
in no or low carbon manufacturing and cold drinks equipment, moving to 100% renewable electricity and running energy efficiency behaviour change
programmes across our entire business. One of CCEP’s flagship programmes is its move to 100%
renewable electricity across operations – a transition made in 2017. A key part of that was a new partnership to build a solar farm near its Wakefield factory. The factory is built on the site of an old landfill which means the
land is of little agricultural use, but which can be put to great use for electricity generation. CCEP entered into a 25-year supply deal to take all the generated electricity directly to its plant. Mr Hunt said: “I’m really proud of what we have done but there is
much more to do to get to a net zero carbon business and clearly collaboration across the industry is really important. We have long been members of the Corporate Leaders’ Group and find it a really useful way to understand the evolving science on the issue, share our experiences, be inspired by others and to help us call for government policies which will help all of society to manage a transition to a zero carbon economy in a fair and equitable way. “We are delighted that the GB and Scotland governments have
set clear zero carbon targets as it provides a clear signal to business that there are no exemptions or special cases – everyone needs a plan to get to net zero. “We want to see more of the governments from around the world following this lead and we hope to see many similar announcements at the CoP25 talks in Madrid this week. “Once attention moves to CoP26 talks in Glasgow next November, we hope to see the British Government continue to lead policy in this area and are keen to see an intermediate target of at least 55% reduction in emissions by 2030. Change has to happen quickly, and we can’t leave it to 2049.
