Coca-Cola NZ directly sells only bottled water to primary and intermediate schools and does not directly sell sugar-sweetened beverages to secondary schools.

This is part of an industry-wide commitment from the NZ Beverage Council which represents the manufacturers, suppliers and distributors of New Zealand’s juice, carbonated drink and bottled water brands.

The water-only policy builds on an earlier Voluntary Schools Agreement between Coca-Cola Amatil NZ, Frucor and the Ministries of Education and Health, signed in 2006, to not directly sell full sugar carbonated beverages and energy drinks to any New Zealand school.
