Yesterday, over 30 young volunteers from the “Advanced Social Democrat Club” NGO cleaned the underpass at Bagshiin Deed. This activity served as a preparatory event for their upcoming “CLEAN UP – BUBBLE FESTIVAL,” which will focus on cleaning public areas within residential neighborhoods next month.

In addition to expressing appreciation for their efforts in the annually held Clean-Up project, support was provided to the youth in the form of high-pressure washing machines, gloves, and product samples. The organizers also expressed their commitment to support the activities they will carry out next month.

“MCS Coca-Cola” supported the initiative of the Ministry of Education and Science and established a company-affiliated kindergarten with a capacity of 75 children. Since 43% of the company’s employees have children aged 2–5, the kindergarten aims to contribute to expanding access to preschool education.

Within a public-private partnership framework, the “Happy Kids” kindergarten affiliated with MCS Coca-Cola will be managed by Kindergarten No. 62 of Bayanzurkh District. Considering employees’ work schedules, the kindergarten operates extended hours from 8:00 to 20:00. In addition to standard preschool education, children will have access to aesthetic classes such as Mongolian dance and ballet, as well as supplementary programs to support cognitive development.

By investing in this kindergarten, MCS Coca-Cola addresses employees’ social needs while creating a supportive environment for productive and stable work.

Additionally, as part of its corporate social responsibility, the kindergarten will also enroll a certain number of children from Kindergarten-age residents of the company’s operating area, Bayanzurkh District, Khoroo 10.

The Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MNCCI) recognizes outstanding enterprises that make a tangible contribution to Mongolia’s socio-economic development through the annual “ENTREPRENEUR-2022” event. At this event, MCS Coca-Cola received three awards:

One of the Top 10 Enterprises of the Year

Entrepreneur Implementing Corporate Social Responsibility

Entrepreneur Implementing Sustainable Production Management

In 2022, MCS Coca-Cola participated in about 60 events and activities through sponsorships and collaborations.

For example, Sports events such as the Ulaanbaatar Marathon 2022, Sprite 3×3 tournament, Jig Jug eSports Festival, and the preliminary rounds of FIBA Asia Cup 2025.

As part of its “Waste-Free World” initiative launched this year, the company encouraged the public to sort waste and care for the environment. It partnered as a strategic sponsor for the 20th Playtime Live Music Festival, promoting the “Let’s Go Plastic-Free” campaign, which continued during the National Naadam Festival.

REDUCING SUGAR AND ALIGNING BUSINESS WITH SUSTAINABILITY POLICY

MCS Coca-Cola is gradually reducing sugar content in its beverages while expanding options for low-calorie drinks. In 2022, the sugar content of Fanta Peach in three types of packaging was reduced. As a result, 51.6% of all products produced and sold are now zero- or low-calorie beverages.

ENVIRONMENT, SOCIAL, AND GOVERNANCE IMPACT HIGHLIGHTS

• The eco-friendly, emission-free steam boiler prevented approximately 4,800 tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
• The water efficiency program reduced water consumption by 30% over the past 10 years.
• Over 50% of waste generated from operations was delivered to recycling facilities.
• Water used in the production process is purified, and 11,000 tons of treated water is supplied free of charge to five organizations for cleaning roads and landscaping.

The purified water from the factory is also being used for the “One Billion Trees” irrigation program

Under the initiative of the President of Mongolia and as part of the “Billion Trees” national movement, 35,000 trees are being planted in October around six gorges of Bogd Khan Mountain, specifically near the Baruun Zalaat area. These newly planted trees are being watered with purified water from the MCS Coca-Cola factory.

MCS Coca-Cola was the first among Mongolian food manufacturers to establish a wastewater purification facility in 2010. This facility can purify 99% of all water used in the factory’s technological processes. The purified water from this facility fully complies with:

• MNS 4943 : 2015 standard “Requirements for water supplied to the environment”
• MNS 6734 : 2018 standard “General requirements for reused purified water and technical water”

Minister of Environment and Tourism, B. Bat-Erdene, stated:

In the “Billion Trees” national movement, to ensure the planted trees provide economic benefits, the government promotes the use of greywater or reservoir water for irrigation rather than potable water. Organizations that purify and reuse industrial water need economic incentives, such as exemptions from water fees, and we plan to focus on creating such a legal environment.

Director of the Forest Agency, B. Oyunsanaa, added: The trees in the six gorges of Bogd Khan Mountain will receive autumn irrigation now and another irrigation during spring snowmelt. Trees generally do not require water unless pollution levels are very high. The purified water from MCS Coca-Cola meets standards suitable for purposes other than drinking, making it fully appropriate for tree irrigation.
