This increase in topline growth was moderated by an increase in variable expenses given higher volumes, as well as commodity inflation and higher concentrate costs.

Our GHG emissions reduction target is approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as being in line with a 1.5°C reduction pathway. In 2022, we will set a new science based emissions reduction target, including our API territories.

Health authorities, such as the World Health Organisation, and international governments are introducing regulations to control sugar consumption. Together with The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) and other franchisors, we are committed to meeting consumers’ demands for a greater variety of drinks, including low and no calorie options. We will do this by reformulating our recipes and by providing greater choice, with and without sugar. Europe 1.57 1.58 API(E) 1.84 1.75 Water is an essential resource for our business. It is the main ingredient in many of our products and is also essential for our manufacturing processes, and for the agricultural ingredients we depend upon. Climate change is altering weather patterns around the world, causing water shortages and droughts in some areas and floods in others. We are committed to addressing these challenges by reducing our own water consumption on a continual basis and protecting local water sources in partnership with local communities. Packaging – Recycled plastic % of PET used that is rPET Europe API 41.3 52.9 58.2 59.8 39.2 42.3 AU AU NZ NZ Extreme waste and pollution, particularly plastic and packaging waste, is a global issue. Packaging represents approximately 40% of our total value chain carbon footprint and we are taking action to drive down the carbon footprint of packaging as part of our path to achieving zero waste and net zero GHG emissions. We aim to achieve this through the key pillars of our packaging strategy: removing unnecessary packaging; innovating in refillable and dispensed solutions; achieving 100% collection so that packaging can be recycled and reused; and by increasing the recycled content of our packaging.

S We continued to demonstrate the resilience of our business and our ability to operate with agility in such a rapidly changing environment. I am proud of how our colleagues have continued to support our customers, consumers and communities. I’d like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone at CCEP for their incredible commitment and hard work throughout the ongoing pandemic. Last year was also an exciting year for everyone connected to the business. In May, Coca-Cola European Partners completed the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil and changed its name to Coca-Cola Europacific Partners. This transaction solidifies our position as the largest Coca-Cola bottler by revenue and creates a platform for accelerated growth and returns. This combination of two great Coca-Cola bottlers is exciting and we can now grow together by combining the talent, learning and best practices of two fantastic companies, both with a strong shared sustainability focus. A more diverse and inclusive culture will translate into new thinking and new ideas and our people will have even more opportunities to grow and develop. D 2021 was an extraordinary year for CCEP. We are a stronger, more diverse business, built on great people, great service and great beverages – done sustainably. Solid top line recovery, value share gains, operating margin expansion and remarkable free cash flow generation demonstrate our strong performance in a challenging environment. Our results also reflect the successful acquisition and integration of CCL, a fantastic business to have acquired, at the right time, and we look forward to an even brighter future together. Together with TCCC and our other partners, our focus on core brands, in market execution and smart revenue growth management initiatives solidified our position in 2021 as the largest fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) value creator. In 2021, we created over €13 billion in retail value(A) for our home channel customers, a year on year increase of €600 million. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Coca-Cola Original Taste, Monster and Fanta were all top 10 non-alcoholic ready to drink (NARTD) brands for absolute value growth. We also continued to make progress on our ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2040 and we are investing in making our packaging more sustainable. We continue to challenge our Sustainability commitments, bringing them forward where possible as evidenced by us achieving our 50% rPET commitment in Europe two years early. How is the integration of Coca-Cola Amatil progressing? D We are well underway with the integration and I am extremely pleased with the progress we have made since the Acquisition. We now have a significantly bigger growth opportunity, having acquired a strong business with momentum and potential. We have a broader and more balanced footprint and the number of consumers who can enjoy our drinks is now over 600 million.

S Sol Daurella Chairman FURTHER TOGETHER We want to build on the best of both businesses, in key areas like sustainability, digital transformation and our people. Sol Daurella, Chairman Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-FCoca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F5 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Conversation with our Chairman and CEO CONTINUED S The Acquisition has allowed us to bring together two great companies. In doing so, we’ll be able to go further and faster in pursuing our shared vision for growth, through our consumer led portfolio, collaborative customer relationships and innovation to meet changing consumer needs. I am excited by the prospect of what we can learn from each other and the opportunities to grow our business that this creates. D Following the Acquisition we established a new segment within our operating model named Australia, Pacific and Indonesia (API). This structure ensures we remain close to our customers, communities and stakeholders. It allows us to make the most of our deep local insight, experience and market understanding, and meet the specific needs of our stakeholders. We have key talent in place. Peter West leads the new API segment. Peter was previously the Managing Director of Coca-Cola Amatil, Australia. He has extensive knowledge of the FMCG sector and a proven ability to work with customers and partners to drive growth and deliver results. I am extremely pleased with the quick progress we were able to make when integrating API into the wider business. Our pre-existing organisational structure enabled us to extend our combined central functions to support the new segment. From a digital perspective, we have started on the journey to bring our people, systems and processes together to allow us to collaborate to enable us to go further, together. S We’ve developed a proven and successful playbook in Europe. We have a track record of creating value in developed markets – like Australia and New Zealand – through strong revenue growth management, route to market transformation and leading commercial capabilities. Indonesia’s growth potential is particularly exciting, with CCEP now working in one of the world’s most populous and dynamic emerging markets. We want to build on the best of both businesses with our people – in key areas like sustainability, digital transformation and outlet execution – to drive growth and scale faster. We will also further strengthen our strategic relationships with TCCC and our other franchise partners. How are you developing your future ready and entrepreneurial culture within CCEP? S Our success is driven by our great people at CCEP. I’m consistently impressed by their expert local knowledge and passion for our brands and our business. I’m grateful for all they do every day to serve our customers and communities. I’d also like to thank Damian and his leadership team who are helping to create a winning and inclusive culture. I’m also grateful to my fellow Directors for their contribution over the year. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Irial Finan who stepped down from the Board during 2021, for his outstanding contributions to our business. We welcomed Manolo Arroyo as a new member of the Board in 2021. Manolo brings a wealth of extensive experience working in the Coca-Cola system and as the Chief Marketing Officer at TCCC. His strategic marketing, commercial and bottling expertise will be an asset to the Board. We have introduced platforms across our geographies to enable our people to share their questions and feedback, and connect with our leadership on all topics relating to our sustainable growth and innovation. This feedback culture and ability to share ideas through various platforms and surveys enables great ideas to rise to the top. We continue to value and invest in our early career talent and support initiatives that help young people gain employability, skills and confidence. This includes offering internships, apprenticeships and graduate programmes. We have also launched three new inclusion, diversity and equity (ID&E) learning modules on practising inclusive leadership, starting an ID&E conversation and allyship. We’ve been working hard to create a workplace where everyone feels welcome to contribute and be at their best. We want to create an environment that empowers everyone to thrive, where everyone can contribute to the growth of CCEP and where everyone feels respected and able to share their ideas and perspectives. D Our people strategy, Me@CCEP, sets out how we are building a winning culture where a diverse range of talents can grow and collaborate together. We encourage an environment where different perspectives and insights are valued at all levels of the organisation, and we have put inclusion right at the heart of our working culture. We have a focus on agile ways of working and creating an ownership mindset, where people feel empowered and confident to take appropriate risks and win together. We have provided training to develop core capabilities in leadership, commercial and customer service and supply chain. We continue to progress plans for working flexibly as we emerge from the pandemic. How are you promoting the health, safety and wellbeing of your colleagues? S Our people’s physical, mental and social wellbeing remain our priority and we continue to promote this in our workplace. Amid the stress and disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s more important than ever that we look after our people’s wellbeing and mental health. We have grown our Wellbeing First Aider initiative to build an internal support network for mental health. D Despite our focus and drive for continuous health and safety improvement, tragically four colleagues lost their lives in 2021 and one colleague lost their life in early 2022 while working for CCEP. Four fatal incidents occurred in Indonesia and one in Belgium. My heart goes out to their families, friends and colleagues. The safety and wellbeing of our people is vitally important. We have learned lessons from these terrible tragedies. It is our aim that the health of our colleagues, both physical and mental, is not detrimentally impacted by working at CCEP. We aspire for all employees to feel happy, healthy and to work with integrity and respect, enabling us all to thrive at work and in our home lives. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-FCoca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F6 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Conversation with our Chairman and CEO CONTINUED Our journey to become the world’s most digitised bottler will benefit all areas of our business. From the way we procure, to platforms we use to drive sales, using digital technology will unlock growth and new opportunities. We will also be able to use data analytics to improve our demand and supply chain planning, enabling us to continue to make the drinks consumers want, when they want them. To improve our demand planning, we are combining machine learning and advanced analytics to improve performance for case fill on time, forecast accuracy and manufacturing adherence. S Digital technology and innovation have always been a key focus for CCEP, and we are continually looking for ways to improve our service and making it even easier to do business with us. We’re turning data and analytics into a competitive differentiator. This will be delivered by evolving our data and analytics team and capabilities, harmonising our data foundations so data can be managed as an asset, driving a company wide awareness and interest in data, and executing our multi year strategic roadmap to incrementally derive business value from data. We are also investing in our workplace tools to promote collaboration across our teams. D Over the past two years we’ve seen significant behavioural shifts in society. Changes in how people live, shop and work continue to inform how we serve our customers and get our products to consumers. This gives us an opportunity to leverage our digital capabilities and grow our business, as well as create even more value for our customers and retail partners. Our customer portal My.CCEP.com is an important part of our digital acceleration. It is helping us be the best online partner to our customers and drive revenue growth for our business. The platform is now live in all of our European markets, following its successful launch in Germany at the end of 2021. With 76,000 customers, we’ve doubled the amount of customers on the platform since last year. Changes in routines brought many new shoppers into the online grocery channel. In many markets our online share of soft drinks is higher than in store, reflecting our dedicated efforts to drive e-commerce sales together with our customers. Through our innovation investment programme, CCEP Ventures, we aim to identify and implement transformative ways of doing business. Business to business (B2B) e-commerce is just one exciting growth area that is a focus for CCEP Ventures. We also continued to grow through our first ever direct to consumer platform Your Coca-Cola in GB. This platform allows consumers to stock up on their favourite drinks brands as well as popular, harder to find products like Diet Coke Caffeine Free, often in slightly larger packs than those currently available through traditional retail channels. This move will help us tap into the rapid growth of online shopping and offer consumers even more choice. Digital solutions will help us continue to win with our customers and grow our business. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the important role digital platforms play for customers and consumers, and we will continue to harness this opportunity. What progress has CCEP made with its sustainability commitments? D COP26 made clear the urgency for businesses to deliver bold climate action. We took a significant step in 2020, by setting an ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2040 and reduce our GHG emissions across our entire value chain by 30% by 2030 (vs. 2019). These are ambitious targets, and we are accelerating the decarbonisation of our business. Our targets are aligned with a 1.5˚C pathway and are approved by the SBTi. This means that we have a credible goal that will require meaningful and sustained action. This year we will update our 2030 science based emission reduction target to include API. S Sustainability is absolutely fundamental to everything we do as a business. We will continue to push ourselves to go further, faster to decarbonise our business. Our continued listing on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) reinforces the ongoing progress we are making. In 2021 CCEP was recognised for leadership in corporate sustainability by global environmental non-profit CDP for the sixth consecutive year, securing a place on its prestigious ‘A List’ for climate, as well as water security. CCEP is one of 53 companies globally to have achieved an ‘A’ position for both climate and water, which demonstrated the focus we place on sustainability. In Australia and Indonesia, we are investing in new PET recycling facilities. These collaborations are a step forward towards creating a circular economy for PET and will contribute to further accelerating our journey towards the ultimate goal of using 100% recycled or renewable plastic. In 2021, we completed a three year solar panel project at our production facility Cibitung in Indonesia, the second largest rooftop solar project in South East Asia and the fourth largest in the world. As part of our path to net zero we’ve already transitioned three production facilities to become certified as carbon neutral as part of a pilot programme that aims for at least eight sites to become carbon neutral certified by the end of 2023. We are closely connected to our local communities. We are committed to protecting our environment and support environmental programmes through investment and volunteering. Sustainability is a subject that I personally feel very strongly about. I would like to thank all of our colleagues, customers, partners, suppliers and stakeholders who are working with us to take the action required to tackle climate change. We still have a long way to go and we are determined to work together to achieve our sustainability ambitions. Our customer portal My.CCEP.com is an important part of our digital acceleration. Damian Gammell, Chief Executive Officer How is CCEP developing its digital capabilities? D Technology is not only shaping the way that our consumers and customers interact with us, but also how we operate as a business. It is becoming increasingly important to modernise the way that people connect and communicate with each other in a more digital workplace. Using technology will enable us to become more efficient, and help us drive revenue and manage our costs. At CCEP we are evolving into an ever increasingly data driven organisation as we effectively and consistently utilise data in our decision making process across all levels of the organisation. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-FCoca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F7 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Conversation with our Chairman and CEO CONTINUED How is CCEP’s relationship with TCCC developing? D CCEP has always been closely aligned with TCCC strategically and the relationship has grown even stronger over the past year. TCCC’s support for the Acquisition was a further endorsement of the strong alignment we have built since the formation of CCEP. The relationship has continued to develop and grow, demonstrated through our agile collaboration and decision making during the year against a challenging backdrop. Together, we ensured the continuity of supply of the products our consumers wanted to buy by prioritising core brands and packs. We also continued to launch and scale new brands into our markets such as Costa Coffee and Topo Chico, which we look forward to developing further in 2022. S We worked closely with TCCC following the completion of the Acquisition. We are partnering closely with them to develop value creating plans across the API region. Our strong platform and alignment with TCCC, built on the success of operations in Europe, is an asset that we’re clearly going to translate together into an even better future for our API segment. We have already started to work on reorienting our portfolio in Australia and New Zealand. We have reviewed our portfolio in these markets to assess the size and future growth opportunities within the different NARTD categories. We’ve established a future vision for our portfolio, customer and consumer environment plans that we will use with TCCC to execute and win in the market. Our strong relationship with TCCC is also driving forward our sustainability strategy, which works side by side with TCCC’s World Without Waste strategy. What’s next for CCEP? D We continue to protect our business for the short term and are confident in our ability to mitigate near term inflationary pressures and navigate global supply chain challenges. Key levers are pricing, mix, procurement initiatives and our transformational efficiency programmes. We’re combining these levers with disciplined investments for long-term future growth, particularly in our portfolio, our people, digital and sustainability. The integration of API is well underway, and it is very much now part of the CCEP family as our sixth geographical business unit. We are very excited with the growth plans we are developing with TCCC, both in applying our proven playbook in developed markets as well as unlocking the long-term transformation potential of Indonesia. We will continue to expand our total beverage portfolio while strengthening core capabilities that will drive sustainable success. We will continue to invest in our supply chain. Last year saw us invest €560 million. I would like to thank our people for their extraordinary efforts during the year and our customers, suppliers and all of our stakeholders for their interest and partnership. We are deeply concerned and saddened by the conflict and suffering in Ukraine. CCEP has joined the Coca-Cola system in providing support to the humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine and neighbouring countries. We are contributing financial aid to the International Federation of the Red Cross and local Red Cross branches, and product donations to refugee centres. We join others across the world in calling for peace to return to Ukraine. We also continued to launch and scale new brands into our markets such as Costa Coffee and Topo Chico, which we look forward to developing further in 2022. Damian Gammell, Chief Executive Officer S We will continue to invest in our people and developing an inclusive and safe environment for people to be at their best. Working with our franchise partners, we have exciting plans for our portfolio, and we are focused on the capabilities and technologies needed to offer our customers a great experience. Above all, we are acutely aware of the challenges facing society and we are committed to building a better future – for our business, for people and for the planet. We are making a difference and believe we have the right foundation to drive sustainable growth and, as evidenced by our 2021 dividend being our largest ever, delivering increased shareholder value. We remain focused on the next stage of our journey and I’d like to thank all our stakeholders and investors for continuing to be a part of it. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-FCoca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F8 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Our portfolio We work with franchise partners to offer consumers a wide range of drinks for every taste and occasion, with or without sugar, to create value for our customers. We are reducing the environmental impact of our manufacturing, distribution and packaging while reducing sugar across our portfolio and making it easier for people to manage their sugar consumption. Our focus is on growing our core brands and expanding into categories like ready to drink (RTD) tea, coffee and alcohol. 2021 Brand category volume of sales 8% 7.5% 25.5% 59% Coca-Cola® Our Coca-Cola brands come in a range of variants that offer consumers a great choice of flavours, with or without sugar. 2021 saw the launch of a new brand identity for Coca-Cola Original Taste, Diet Coke/ Coca-Cola Light and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar designed to stand out on shelf and make it easier to navigate the different Coca-Cola variants. Coca-Cola also introduced a new marketing platform, Real Magic, and a new “Hug” logo. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar continued to grow with volume up 8.5% from 2020. We also marked UEFA EURO 2020 with limited edition pack designs and in store displays across all channels and customers. This activity focused on attracting consumers at various touch points in the path to purchase journey. We ended the year with consumer campaigns to make Coca-Cola a part of festive meal occasions. Flavours, mixers and energy In 2021, and in partnership with Monster Energy, we continued to expand our Monster range with the introduction of four new Monster variants including Monster Mule. With gaming an interest for many Monster consumers, we supported a partnership with Apex Legends and launched Monster Ultra Watermelon. We continue to build our presence in the functional energy category with the rollout of more Reign flavours, all of which contain no sugar, no calories and no artificial colours or flavours. Fanta continued to grow, supported by a marketing campaign and strong in store execution during Halloween. The launch of What The Fanta Launch Zero Sugar, was supported by great on and off shelf execution, driving sales above expectations. Fanta also benefitted from a strong period in Indonesia during Ramadan. Hydration The hydration category is typically heavily reliant on immediate consumption, with consumers buying hydration products in on the go stores, which continued to see an impact from the pandemic in 2021. The performance of our hydration products continued to reflect this ongoing impact of COVID-19 and changes in consumer behaviour. However, the category grew by 9.5% in the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting fewer restrictions and increased mobility in the quarter. RTD tea, RTD coffee, juices and other The rollout of Costa Coffee continued across our European markets with launches in Belgium, Norway and Spain. More markets will be added in 2022. Fuze Tea remains an important part of our portfolio, growing by 9.5% compared to 2019. We celebrated the festive winter period with a Fuze Tea Winter edition. As COVID-19 restrictions eased, the juice category grew, particularly Capri-Sun, which benefitted from increased on the go consumption. We continue to pursue opportunities in alcohol, led by Topo Chico. To simplify our alcohol portfolio, we announced that we would exit the production, sale and distribution of beer and apple cider products in Australia.

From the suppliers that provide our raw materials, to the communities where we operate and the people who make and sell our products, we seek to work together to refresh our markets and make a difference. Our people We are driven by a passion for people and what we do, fostering a diverse, inclusive and safe working environment where everyone’s individuality is valued and they are equipped with the training, tools and opportunity to succeed. Greater diversity creates a powerful platform, boosting creativity and innovation. Our business depends on the great people who make, sell and distribute our products every day. How we engage It’s key our people feel that they have a voice and we provide the opportunity for two way engagement, as teams and individuals, through a range of direct and indirect measures. To encourage engagement with leadership and to ensure our people are kept informed about the matters that affect them as employees, management including the CEO, hold regular town hall meetings and issue other forms of communications. These How the Board engaged Designated Directors Two Non-executive Directors (NEDs), Chairmen of the Remuneration and Nomination Committees, are responsible for ensuring the concerns of the workforce are taken into account by the Board and for reporting to the Board on employee related matters. During the year, the Nomination Committee requested regular feedback from management in relation to employee wellbeing and progress towards our ID&E plan. The Remuneration Committee considered employee incentives in light of the Acquisition and the reward projects and integration activities planned, including the need for a fair and consistent approach across our workforce. In addition, the Board received, as part of the regular update from the CEO, insights into health and safety of our people and the continued challenges presented by COVID-19. communications provide a regular cadence of updates regarding CCEP’s results and other developments within the business, including informal drop in opportunities to meet colleagues, such as ‘Share a Coke with…’ Regular market and factory visits also take place. We issue regular pulse surveys on vital topics to listen and act on the voice of our people. These were enhanced during 2021 to provide more opportunity for employees to feedback on how they were feeling and covered topics on wellbeing, engagement and culture, and Inclusion, Diversity and Equity (ID&E). Our Speak Up line enables our people to raise concerns anonymously, free from retaliation. Employees have access to employee portals, Redline in Europe and Workplace in API, where news can be shared, in addition to receiving email updates. We engage and consult with social partners on matters relating to labour relations. Our European Works Council has two plenary and three select committee meetings each year, attended by either the CEO or members of the senior leadership team, to give business updates and insights. In each of our countries we have structural consultation with trade unions. Local work environment committees have been established as well as health and safety committees. Topics arising are shared on a monthly basis with the Group’s leadership team. Employee town hall In May 2021, a virtual town hall was held following the Acquisition. Over 2,100 of our people were invited to attend the online session and to submit questions to a panel of Directors. The town hall was an opportunity for insights into the first couple of weeks of the combined CCEP, the reactions of various stakeholders, the perceived impact on company performance and next steps. The importance of employee safety and wellbeing was emphasised. Employees challenged the panel with tough questions including on CCL’s integration and wellbeing. Other employee interaction The ongoing pandemic restricted travel in 2021. In person meetings were limited to a session with “One Young World” at the October Board meeting where delegates were given an opportunity to ask the Board questions and to discuss how to accelerate positive social impact. The Board were also unable to conduct any physical site visits but a number were attended virtually.

Our Company Secretary and IR team engage with investors’ governance teams predominantly around the AGM. How the Board engaged The CEO attends investor conferences, participates in roadshows and is available to shareholders. The Chairman of the Remuneration Committee engages with shareholders on the Remuneration Policy and its implementation. Directors attended the AGM, which provides an opportunity for shareholders to ask questions. In 2021 it was a closed meeting, due to COVID-19. IR provides quarterly updates to the Board covering share price, analyst comments and city reaction, IR activity and the shareholder register and investor feedback. Periodic deep dives are provided along with brokers and analysts sessions, most recently in September 2021. How the Board engaged Our Board engages both directly and indirectly with our franchisors. The Board receives regular updates on franchisors through reports from the CEO and the Chief Commercial Officer, as well as the Affiliated Transaction Committee (ATC) updates including on performance, relationships and key issues. The Board also received an update from the Chairman and CEO of TCCC and his leadership team at the September Board meeting on growth opportunities and strategy. ReadaboutourrelationshipwithTCCCandother franchisorsonpage 201 Our Suppliers In Europe we have a network of around 13,200 suppliers and additional local suppliers across our API markets. They supply a wide range of commodities and services such as ingredients, packaging, utilities, equipment, facilities management, fleet and logistics, sales and marketing, information technology and general administration. We rely on a process to ensure we engage with suppliers, including in areas such as business continuity. Partnering and collaboration with suppliers on sustainability is helping to drive progress on delivering our This is Forward commitments, while sustainable sourcing ensures security of supply of all the commodities and services needed to make, sell and distribute our drinks. How we engage We encourage strategic relationships with our suppliers, encouraging collaboration and fostering investment to find innovative solutions to business challenges. This partnership approach helps to ensure suppliers provide high quality, safe and sustainable products and services. In 2021, we engaged with strategic suppliers across Europe and API following the Acquisition, working together under our Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) programme. Due to COVID-19, face to face Our Franchisors We conduct business primarily under agreements with TCCC and a limited number of franchisors. These generally give us exclusive rights to make, distribute and sell beverages in approved packaging in specified territories. We drive sales to customers so that our franchisor’s brands are available where and when consumers want them. How we engage We prioritise regular management contact with all our franchisors at different functional, sales and marketing levels, including regular top level meetings with TCCC. Our General Managers (GMs) have ongoing dialogue with franchisors. Annually, from September to February, our GMs present business plans to customers, and we often ask franchisors to join us at these presentations. If an incident or crises arises on product-related issues we will proactively engage with franchisors to resolve the issue. interaction was limited but we compensated with virtual meetings held at the most senior levels, focusing on supply security and progress on sustainability. We hold supplier days in Europe and API; the last supplier day in Europe was virtual, pre Acquisition in October 2020 with more than 200 unique suppliers in attendance. Prior to the Acquisition, CCL held a supplier day in early 2021. How the Board engaged As part of operating with integrity, we have guidelines approved at Board level setting out expectations and requirements of our suppliers in relation to expected conduct, for example, in relation to human rights, health and safety and other matters. As well as attending our supplier days, the CEO and CFO informs the Board on key supplier relationships and payments. Supplier risk management is also a topic of discussion at the Audit Committee generally as part of the Enterprise Risk Management discussions. Further, due to COVID-19, and in addition to the impacts of Brexit resulting in a shortage of lorry drivers during the latter part of 2021, frequent discussions were held by the Board in relation to the responses of key suppliers, notably their ability to continue to provide services at the required standards within COVID-19 restrictions that may have applied globally from time to time.

We foster strong relationships with our customers and aim to supply the drinks people want, where and when they want them. Our customer centric operating model is focused on delivering the strongest execution to our frontline and reaching a broad range of outlets, while making it easier to do business with us. How we engage Thousands of our sales force call on our customers every day across all our territories (subject to COVID-19). Our GMs own customer relationships and, together with our sales teams, regularly engage with customers. In 2021, our customer engagement included a four day event with Metro and a customer event in our Spain office. We also engage with customers internationally through TCCC’s Global Customer Governance Board, where certain international customers request this single point of contact within the Coca-Cola system. This engagement is limited to our markets under strict legal protocols. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued to focus on supporting our customers and keeping retailers stocked. For example, we adjusted production to ensure we were delivering the products that people wanted in store. How the Board engaged The Board has limited direct engagement with customers but receives periodic presentations from select customer leaders. In 2021, the Board invited Asda’s CEO to present. The discussion centred on Asda’s commercial proposition and how, in GB, it partners with suppliers and customers. The Board remains committed to understanding our markets and customers. Virtual market visits were arranged in 2021, to mitigate the COVID-19 health and safety risks of in person visits. The Board received insights on matters including field sales activation, marketing and adding value for retailers. The CEO provides regular updates to the Board on customer relationships, development and engagement including on home channel customer satisfaction metrics and on AFH equivalents when available. The Board is updated regularly on key channel growth, together with changes in coverage and execution performance supporting growth for our customers. Customers were also discussed at the Board strategy session in September 2021. Our Consumers Drinking motivations and occasions drive demand for a range of drinks. We work with our customers to ensure that the drinks reaching consumers are high quality, safe and taste great. Our franchisors generally own the relationship with the consumers. How we engage Our teams partner with franchisors to understand consumer needs. Customers also provide feedback on consumers. We have limited direct engagement with consumers, although they buy and consume our products. Our consumer care line provided on all our packaging gives consumers the opportunity to give feedback directly and our nutritional labelling on products provides consumers with the information they need to make an informed choice. How the Board engaged The Board attends presentations on trends and behavioural patterns that could affect consumers and our interaction with them. The ATC oversees CCEP’s relationships with franchise partners, through which we are able to keep focus on development and diversification of our portfolio. An update from the Chairman of the ATC is provided at each Board meeting and the CEO also provides updates to the Board as necessary. The Audit Committee receives updates on any material incidents affecting consumers. The Board has limited direct engagement with consumers but is able to directly engage through market visits. This was limited in 2021 due to COVID-19. Our Communities We have a strong local heritage and presence. We seek to make a positive difference, addressing challenges our communities face by supporting local partnerships and by tackling key local sustainability issues such as litter, health, water stress and youth unemployment. We recognise the economic, social and environmental interaction between our business and our communities. Our people live in our local communities and we use local resources, such as water and transport systems, to make, sell and distribute our products. How we engage We engage with our communities on many different levels. Our local management and Public Affairs, Communications and Sustainability (PACS) team engages directly and employees engage through volunteering. Many of our local charitable and community partnerships, such as local water replenishment projects and youth development programmes, are delivered in partnership with NGOs. Our Group management and PACS team engage more widely in communities on important issues such as the environment, ID&E, and empowering and supporting young people. They also engage with TCCC on key issues as part of a wider social framework, partnering with pan-European and global NGOs. How the Board engaged Information and updates on CCEP’s community partnerships are provided to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee (the Committee) who has reviewed reports on local water stress and the health of watersheds. Deep dives are provided on key topics of interest to our Committees and the Chairman of the Committee provides the Board with detailed updates at each Board meeting following Committee meetings.

In accordance with the directors’ duties set out in section 172 of the Companies Act, the Board supervises the profitable operation and development of CCEP to maximise its equity value over the long term, without regard to the individual interests of any shareholder. A minority of our Non-executive Directors (NEDs) were appointed by major shareholders of CCEP. However, each Director understands their responsibility under the Companies Act to act in a way that would promote the long-term success of the Company for all its stakeholders. We recognise that to deliver our strategy in a sustainable way, we need to consider the commercial, social and environmental impacts of our business. During the year, we have monitored, assessed and challenged CCEP’s progress against our annual business plan and our sustainability targets. When taking decisions of strategic importance, we endeavour to balance the interests of all our stakeholders in ways that are compatible with CCEP’s long-term, sustainable growth. Throughout the year, CCEP has engaged with stakeholders across all areas of the business. The Board strives to gain stakeholder perspectives to inform its decision making through direct engagement, where feasible, as well as through regular communication with senior management. We identify our key stakeholder groups as those with significant interactions with our business model and that we impact in the course of our business operations. We detail about how our business interacts with our stakeholders, and the impacts of these interactions, throughout this Integrated Report. Ensuring our business operates responsibly is fundamental to ensuring our long-term success. The Board oversees a corporate governance framework that enables the right people to take the right decisions at the right time. This includes our CoC and system of delegated authorities. The Board made several principal decisions during 2021, where the Directors had regard to the relevant matters set out in section 172(1)(a)-(f) of the UK Companies Act 2006 (the Companies Act) when discharging their duties. Here we outline how we approached the Acquisition as a principal decision. Amatil In May 2021, CCEP completed the Acquisition of CCL, cementing our position as the world’s largest Coca-Cola bottler by revenue and one of the leading FMCG companies in the world. The proposed Acquisition was announced in October 2020 and was approved by the Board in April 2021. The Board was supported in its decision making by a panel including Board committees (Audit Committee, ATC) and management committees (M&A Committee and the Transaction Committee and Integration Committee), spearheaded by the CEO to ensure a successful integration. The Board took into account numerous factors including the impact of the Acquisition on the stakeholder groups below. Shareholders The transaction was aligned with CCEP’s strategy of pursuing inorganic expansion opportunities in developed markets. Management conducted an investment appraisal and financial analysis to support the Board in its decision making, demonstrating that the Acquisition would be consistent with CCEP’s long-term growth ambitions. Management identified that value enhancing opportunities could be achieved through the implementation of CCEP’s proven developed market growth strategies. Using valuation modelling techniques, the analysis provided a range of CCL acquisition values, and post acquisition deleveraging projections demonstrated how the return to target leverage in the short-term could be achieved. Once completed, the transaction would be immediately EPS accretive, leading to an increased dividend for shareholders. Using these insights, the Board concluded that the Acquisition would result in value creation for shareholders. Franchisors Franchisors are a key stakeholder group, given the importance of maintaining a strong relationship and alignment with TCCC. Insights from CCEP’s growth trajectory highlighted the importance of our relationship with TCCC and our shared vision of growth. TCCC was confident in the value accretion opportunity from the transaction and agreed to sell their ownership interest in CCL at a discount to the public shareholders. Employees Engaging and retaining our people is a key consideration, ensuring that everyone has a voice and feels valued. The Acquisition created a more diverse workforce and inclusive culture at CCEP. This translates into new thinking and new ideas, providing more opportunities to grow and develop. The Board reviewed day one readiness people plans across the Group, to ensure we had the necessary collaboration processes in place to enable CCL’s integration and provide continuity. It was important to have communication and engagement support available to all employees, so that they felt involved and listened to, and could raise any concerns. Consumers The Acquisition significantly enhances CCEP’s consumer reach. It brings new brands and increasing access to broader need states, such as alcohol and coffee, as well as lessons and experimentation on different pack types to share across geographies. Community and customers API and Europe run local community initiatives with similar priorities, from supporting disadvantaged youth to local environmental groups. It is important that we continue to gain deep local insight in all our territories, building experience and market understanding to meet the specific needs of these stakeholders. Environment CCL’s strong sustainability profile was a key consideration for the Board. With carbon reduction at its core, CCL’s approach to sustainability was very much in line with CCEP. Together we can build a sustainable tomorrow for our people, customers, communities and shareholders.

We are growing our business and brands as a force for good, managing our social and environmental impact and aiming to make our people and our stakeholders proud of our actions. Our focus on long-term value creation and innovation positions sustainability at the heart of everything we do.

We continue to set ambitious sustainability targets. We are doing this through our sustainability action plan – This is Forward – created with TCCC, and developed through continuous consultation with our stakeholders in Europe. Through This is Forward, we are taking action on six key social and environmental areas where we know we can have a significant impact, and which our stakeholders want us to prioritise: climate action, consumer health and wellbeing, sustainable packaging, water stewardship, the wellbeing of our people and those across our value chain and our contribution to our local communities.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F 20 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Sustainability governance framework At CCEP our aim is to ensure we have strong governance over sustainability issues, including climate-related risks. The Board, each of its key Committees and management has a role to play as outlined below. The roles and responsibilities of each will continue to remain under review during 2022 to ensure that all relevant matters continue to be addressed in line with changing stakeholder requirements. The Board The Board’s role is to ensure the long-term sustainable success of CCEP by setting our strategy through which we can deliver sustainable growth, create value for all our stakeholders and build a better future for our business, our communities and the planet. The Board, led by our Chairman Sol Daurella, has ultimate responsibility for our sustainability action plan This is Forward. Each of the Board Committees plays a role in supporting the Group's sustainability strategy including the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee which has been delegated responsibility by the Board for oversight of This is Forward. Sustainability is a key topic of discussion at Board meetings and the Chairman of the CSR Committee provides the Board with a detailed update at every Board meeting. The Board also receives out of cycle communications and Directors attend training sessions on sustainability-related matters including climate, packaging and water. Informing Informing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee Meeting frequency: At least five times per year. Responsible for identifying, analysing, evaluating and monitoring the social, political, environmental, sustainability and public policy trends, issues and concerns which could affect our business or performance. Oversees Group performance against This is Forward strategy and goals, including reviewing climate-related risks, targets and actions as well as packaging, water and other environmental risks and opportunities. Nomination Committee Meeting frequency: At least five times per year. Regularly reviews the structure, size, composition and skills of the Board to ensure it remains effective. Sustainability is listed as a key Board skill and the majority of the Directors have good or very good experience in this area. Expertise in this area will continue to be a consideration in succession planning and recruitment going forward. The Committee considers inclusion, diversity and equity across the broader workforce and assesses and monitors Group culture. Remuneration Committee Meeting frequency: At least six times per year. Aligns the Group’s remuneration policy to reinforce the achievement of our sustainability aims. To note, CCEP operates a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for our most senior leaders which includes a performance measure focused on the reduction of GHG emissions across our entire value chain, which has a 15% weighting. In addition, part of every senior leader’s Individual Performance Objectives continues to be based on leading the development of our “Future ready culture” (e.g. talent, inclusion, diversity, equity and specific “Green Future” objectives). Audit Committee Meeting frequency: At least six times per year. Ensures that risk is effectively managed across the Group, including climate-related risks and opportunities. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial and non-financial reporting obligations including ESG-related reporting. It also gives consideration to climate-related risks as part of the overall Enterprise Risk Management Framework.  ReadmoreinourGovernanceandDirectors’Report pages 64–111 The Chief Executive and the CCEP leadership team Ownership and governance for sustainability-related risk and sustainability strategy and commitments are embedded within our business. Responsibility for climate-related issues sits with our CEO, our Chief Customer Service and Supply Chain (CCSSC) Officer and our Chief PACS Officer. Reporting The CCEP leadership team delegates certain climate-related risk and opportunity oversight matters to its management committees. In 2022 a new Sustainability SteerCo has been set up with members of the Executive Leadership Team to discuss a range of issues and will aim to form part of the reporting to the CCEP Board. Sustainable Packaging Office Our Sustainable Packaging Office (SPO) streamlines all the technical and exploratory sustainable packaging work across our geographies, accelerates our innovation and supports progress towards our enhanced packaging targets in order to reduce the carbon impact of our packaging. This work is undertaken in partnership with TCCC. Strategic Risk There are a number of groups and forums led by the risk function that play different roles in considering sustainability-related risks, including climate, packaging and water, related to CCEP. There is an annual top down Enterprise Risk Assessment which encompasses the reassessment of the current risks but also the identification of emerging risks and opportunities. This is done with input from the Board and our Top 150 Executives. In addition there are regular (approximately eight times per year) One Risk Office meetings where all the risk function teams (13 teams across five departments) meet and discuss risks, including emerging risks and ESG topics. The Enterprise Risk Management Team is partnering on several ESG topics with key internal stakeholders to mature our risk sensing and scenario planning capabilities.

The assessment and mitigation of climate-related risks is an integral part of our annual Enterprise Risk Assessment process. The following table provides a summary of the key elements grouped into the four themes (strategy, governance, risk management, metrics and targets) along with a redirect to specific sections in this Integrated Report and our 2021 CDP submission for further information. In 2019, together with TCCC, we completed a climate-related risk assessment, in line with guidance from the TCFD. The assessment identified the physical and transition risks we could face as a result of climate change. In 2020, we voluntarily published our first disclosure against the recommendations of TCFD on our corporate website in order to report transparently on climate-related risks and opportunities. We will continue to do this on an annual basis. In 2021, we began work to assess how our business may be impacted in the long term from climate-related risks, with a particular focus on production facilities and the availability of key ingredients in our value chain. This work was planned for 2020 but the timetable was delayed due to COVID-19. 2022 is the first year where we disclose our alignment to the TCFD recommendations in our Integrated Report. 2019 2020 2021 2022 TCFD Key elements Key elements of summarised disclosures / Key messages STRATEGY Disclose the actual and potential impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities on the organisation’s businesses, strategy and financial planning, where such information is material 1 Describe the climate-related risks and opportunities the organisation has identified over the short, medium and long term Significant risks – Increased severity and frequency of extreme weather events such as cyclones and floods may disrupt or limit our ability to produce or distribute our products. – Water stress or water scarcity may cause disruption to our production or lead to us being unable to produce our products. – Changing weather and precipitation patterns may impact the cost and/or availability of ingredients we use in our beverages. – Regulation related to GHG emissions may increase costs across our value chain, including increased costs related to the packaging we use, our manufacturing and distribution of our CDE. – Regulation related to water stress or water scarcity may disrupt or restrict our production capability. Significant opportunities – The adoption of energy and water efficiency measures across CCEP’s core business operations provides a significant opportunity for our business to reduce emissions and build long-term resilience. – The use of renewable electricity provides a significant opportunity for our business to significantly reduce both our Scope 2 emissions, and our value chain carbon footprint.

Changes in precipitation patterns exacerbated by climate change could limit the availability and therefore increase the cost of key ingredients, like sugar beet. In the future, this could result in supply restrictions and/or increased costs for our business. Increased water scarcity, water shortages or restrictions on water consumption, particularly in water stressed areas could increase the cost of water or impact our ability to produce. 3 Describe the resilience of the organisation’s strategy, taking into consideration different climate-related scenarios including a 2°C or lower scenario CCEP uses both qualitative and quantitative scenario analysis to inform our strategy. In 2019, as part of work to identify climate-related risks to our business, we undertook some high level scenario analysis to help us consider and predict what the world might look like in the future and to help us assess future impacts to our business. This included both a “business as usual” scenario, where global temperatures continue to increase and a “2°C” scenario where the world does not exceed 2°C warming. In 2022 we will build on this work by completing a detailed assessment of the physical risks we could face across our operations and owned assets as a result of climate change. This work will consider two climate scenarios: RCP 2.6 (where global temperature increase will be limited to between 1.5°C–2°C by 2100); and RCP 8.5 (where global temperatures will increase by up to 5°C by 2100). In addition, we will use a wider range of climate scenarios to explore further the physical and transition risks that we may face across our entire value chain. (A) Our disclosures are set out in greater detail in a separate CDP questionnaire to make it easier for readers to find the relevant information.

The Board is primarily responsible for CCEP’s strategic plan, risk appetite, systems of internal control and corporate governance policies, to ensure the long-term success of CCEP, underpinned by sustainability. It retains control of key decisions and ensures there is a clear division of responsibilities. The Board also has responsibility for CCEP’s sustainability action plan This is Forward, which includes forward-looking, science based carbon reduction targets. To demonstrate our commitment to sustainability, one of the five committees that supports the Board is the CSR Committee. The Board has delegated responsibility for oversight of This is Forward to the CSR Committee. 2 Describe management’s role in assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities Ownership and governance for sustainability-related risks and sustainability commitments are embedded within our business. At management level, responsibility for climate-related issues sits with our CEO, our CCSSC Officer and our PACS Officer. 1 Describe the organisation’s processes for identifying and assessing climate-related risks The process for identifying, assessing and responding to climate-related risks – including those to our direct operations, as well as upstream and downstream risks – is integrated into CCEP’s ERM processes and our overarching governance processes. Through our ERM we identify, measure and manage risk, and embed a strong risk culture across our business. CCEP’s risk management framework looks at both risks and opportunities. As well as supporting the management of risks, it also guides how we can capitalise on opportunities.

The Audit Committee has overall responsibility for risk management at CCEP. Our ERM processes are overseen by our Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) who leads CCEP’s Compliance and Risk Department. The CCO chairs CCEP’s Compliance and Risk Committee, which is comprised of a cross functional group of leaders and risk management experts. The Compliance and Risk Committee has overall responsibility for making decisions related to certain risk management activities, including the review and approval of our risk management strategy, policies and frameworks. The Compliance and Risk Committee is responsible for overseeing and approving company wide enterprise risk practices, and ensuring that management has identified and assessed all material risks faced by the organisation, and has established an infrastructure capable of addressing those risks. CDP questionnaire 2021: 1 C2.2 2 C2.2 3 C2.2 3 Describe how processes for identifying, assessing, and managing climate-related risks are integrated into the organisation’s overall risk management The CCO presents at meetings of the Audit Committee, Compliance and Risk Committee and leadership team meetings on risk management and shares the results of the top down annual ERA and other bottom up risk assessments. Our PACS Officer is the ELT member with overall management responsibility for CCEP’s CSR Committee. They have primary ownership of sustainability issues – including climate-related risks, GHG emissions reporting, public disclosure of climate-related risks and other policy and sustainability-related topics. Our CEO, CCSSC Officer and PACS Officer are responsible for providing management updates on topics related to climate change (including packaging and GHG emissions) and water stewardship to CCEP’s Board of Directors, and its CSR Committee. This includes sustainability-related issues of importance to our stakeholders, legislative and regulatory issues affecting CCEP, and updates on progress and performance against CCEP’s publicly stated sustainability goals. 1 Disclose the metrics used by the organisation to assess climate-related risks and opportunities in line with its strategy and risk management process We use a variety of metrics to track our progress on climate action. Our comprehensive disclosure includes transparency on Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions across all of our markets, including a breakdown of greenhouse gases and CO2e by emissions source. We report Scope 2 emissions on a market and location based approach. In addition, we also report absolute and normalised emissions data. 2 Disclose Scope 1, Scope 2 and, if appropriate, Scope 3 GHG emissions and the related risks We disclose our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions within the framework of our annual carbon footprint reporting process. 3 Describe the targets used by the organisation to manage climate-related risks and opportunities and performance against targets Through our This is Forward sustainability strategy we measure, monitor and manage our sustainability targets. We launched a new climate strategy in December 2020, including an ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2040 and to reduce our absolute GHG emissions across our value chain by 30% by 2030 (versus 2019). Our 2030 GHG reduction target has been approved by the SBTi as being in line with a 1.5˚C reduction pathway, as recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Our targets were set for our business in Europe, and in 2022 we will set a new science based emissions reduction target, including our API territories. 2021 Integrated Report Read more in the Action on climate section on pages 23–26 CDP questionnaire 2021 1 C4.2, C9.1 2 C6.1, C6.3, C6.5 3 C4.1, C4.1a, C4.2 METRICS AND TARGETS Disclose the metrics and targets used to assess and manage relevant climate-related risks and opportunities, where such information is material (A) Our disclosures are set out in greater detail in a separate CDP questionnaire to make it easier for readers to find the relevant information.

We’re committed to decarbonising our business, aiming to reach net zero emissions by 2040 – 10 years ahead of the Paris Climate agreement. The world is at a critical point. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has outlined the urgency of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest. Governments and businesses around the world must take urgent action now. That is why we launched a new climate strategy in December 2020, including an ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2040 and to reduce our absolute GHG emissions across our value chain by 30% by 2030 (versus 2019). Our 2030 GHG reduction target has been approved by the SBTi as being in line with a 1.5˚C reduction pathway, as recommended by the IPCC. Our targets were set for our business in Europe, and in 2022 we will set a new science based emissions reduction target, including our API territories. Over 90% of our value chain GHG emissions come from our supply chain. So we have committed to supporting our strategic suppliers to set their own science based carbon reduction targets and to shift to 100% renewable electricity by 2023. To support our climate strategy and drive reductions in GHG emissions across our business, we have included a GHG emissions reduction target in our LTIP for senior management. This metric has a 15% weighting and is included alongside traditional financial metrics, including EPS and ROIC. Carbon reduction roadmaps When we launched our net zero 2040 ambition, we identified a series of initiatives to reduce our GHG emissions over three years supported by a €250 million investment. In 2021, we began to develop carbon reduction roadmaps for each of our European markets. These roadmaps will help to prioritise initiatives to reduce our GHG emissions, including programmes across our value chain in packaging, operations, transportation and CDE. We have also established an executive governance structure, supported by work streams across our business, to ensure that our climate strategy is embedded throughout CCEP and that we have a framework in place to evaluate our carbon reduction progress. Transitioning to a low-carbon future Using renewable electricity is a key element of our sustainability journey. In Europe we have purchased 100% renewable electricity since 2018; we’re targeting 100% renewable electricity in Australia and New Zealand by 2025 and in other API territories by 2030. We continue to invest in renewable and low-carbon energy projects at our production facilities, including direct solar, wind, combined heat and power and hydropower located at our own facilities. Solar energy is a key part of our renewable electricity strategy and eight production facilities across Belgium, France and GB now source electricity from on-site solar installations. In 2021, we also completed a three year solar panel project at our Cibitung production facility in Indonesia, the second largest rooftop solar project in South East Asia and the fourth largest in the world. We continue to invest in our production facilities to make them energy efficient and reduce carbon emissions. For example, our carbon neutral certified mineral water production facility in Vilas de Turbón, Spain, has reduced Case study Carbon neutral production facilities As part of our net zero ambition, we are aiming for at least eight of our production facilities to be PAS2060 certified as carbon neutral by the end of 2023. In 2021, three of our production facilities, in Belgium, Spain and Sweden, were certified as carbon neutral. All three sites use 100% renewable electricity and have changed their production processes to significantly reduce their carbon emissions. To offset remaining carbon emissions at the sites, we have purchased Gold Standard certified carbon credits from a project in Colombia which will support an area of savannah, that has been damaged by agricultural activity, through reforestation and the restoration of its ecosystem. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F24 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Action on – Climate CONTINUED its total emissions over the past five years by 36% per litre of product produced by installing energy efficient LED lighting across the site, and by the installation of a biomass boiler that uses sustainably sourced wood pellets in place of fossil fuels. In the next five years, we will be investing €13 million in switching from gas to battery powered fork lift trucks across our GB production facilities, which will reduce our GHG emissions by 1,500 tonnes CO2 emissions every year. We are working with our CDE suppliers to make our equipment more energy efficient across our territories, including by removing older, inefficient models from the market and replacing them with newer, more efficient equipment. This has enabled us to reduce the electricity our customers use by 9.9% versus 2020. Together with our customers, we are creating sustainable solutions, such as supporting the hospitality industry on its net zero journey. For example, our Net Zero Pubs, Bars and Restaurants Initiative in GB enables businesses to reduce carbon emissions across their value chain. Pubs, bars and restaurants that follow the net zero protocol can either be certified as net zero or have a net zero target date endorsed. CCEP committed to power its entire operations across API with 100% renewable electricity. Setting this target in this region sets a strong example for other companies to follow. Jon Dee, Australian Coordinator RE100 Cutting carbon in transport We work hard to reduce the GHG emissions of our transportation and distribution networks. In 2021, we joined The Climate Group’s EV100 initiative, committing to accelerate our transition to electric vehicles by 2030 in Europe. To support this goal, in Germany we have a target to switch over 2,000 company cars in our sales fleet to electric vehicles by 2025. Using our voice for change As an influential global business, we use our voice to guide public policy and drive transition to a low-carbon future. In 2020, with the launch of our new climate ambition, we joined The Climate Pledge, which brings together international businesses committed to reaching net zero GHG emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement deadline. Our other carbon reduction initiatives include shifting the transportation of our products from road to rail freight. For example, at 13 of our production facilities in Germany we are working with freight provider, DB Cargo, to facilitate the long distance transportation of our products via rail. In 2021, we joined over 700 of the world’s largest organisations in the We Mean Business Coalition to call for G20 nations to step up their climate ambitions and adopt stronger targets to mitigate the worst effects of climate change.

As biofuel emits 90% less CO2 than fossil fuel, this change will reduce the impact of the 7.5 million kilometres that are driven annually transporting our products in the Netherlands. We are the first soft drinks company in the Netherlands to make this switch. Carbon offsetting We are taking a limited approach to the use of carbon offsetting, in line with SBTi net zero best practice guidance. We are focused on decarbonising our business in line with a 1.5˚C reduction pathway, and when we can no longer reduce our emissions, we will offset where necessary to help us reach net zero. In the short term, to offset the remaining emissions from some areas of our business – such as our carbon neutral sites – we will be using Gold Standard, or Verra/VCS certified carbon credits from existing carbon removal projects. Over the long term, we will look to work with partners to develop nature based solutions that can provide carbon removal, water replenishment and biodiversity benefits. We are a proud member of The Climate Group’s RE100 initiative across Europe and API, a group of organisations committed to 100% renewable electricity. We are also a member of the Corporate Leaders Group, supporting European Union (EU) policymakers in their work to increase the EU’s GHG emissions reduction targets for 2030, in line with the EU’s goal to become carbon neutral by 2050.

Our Scope 1 and 2 emissions are independent of any GHG trades, and our Scope 2 emissions are reported using both a location based and a market based approach. Details about our Scope 3 GHG emissions in our value chain (including emissions related to our ingredients, packaging, CDE and third party transportation), are also reported in the table. Additional Scope 3 figures will be included in our 2021 CDP response. Our carbon footprint is calculated in accordance with the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol Corporate Standard, using an operational control approach to determine organisational boundaries. Our total Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions (full value chain) have reduced by 12.4% versus 2019 and by 38.9% versus 2010. Intensity ratios CCEP – Europe GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) per litre of product produced (market based Scope 2 approach): 17.17g CO2e/litre of product produced. GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) per euro of revenue (market based Scope 2 approach): 18.10g CO2e/euro of revenue. UK and UK offshore GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) per euro of revenue (market based Scope 2 approach): 14.35g CO2e/euro of revenue. Note on sources of data and calculation methodologies Under the WRI/WBCSD GHG Protocol, we measure our emissions in three scopes, except for CO2e emissions from biologically sequestered carbon, which we report separately outside these scopes. Our baseline year has been updated to 2019, following approval of our new science based GHG emissions reduction target at the end of 2020. Our baseline figures for 2019 and our 2020 data have been restated to include new emission sources and more accurate data. Data is consolidated from a number of sources across our business and is analysed centrally. We use a variety of methodologies to gather our emissions data and measure each part of our carbon footprint, including packaging and ingredients, natural gas and purchased electricity, refrigerant gas losses, CO2 fugitive gas losses and transport fuel, water supply, wastewater and waste management and CDE. We use emission factors relevant to the source data including UK Department for Business, Environment and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) 2021 and International Energy Agency (IEA) 2019 emission factors. Scope 1 figures include direct sources of emissions such as the fuel we use for manufacturing and our own vehicles plus our fugitive emissions of CO2. Scope 2 figures include indirect sources from the generation of electricity we use at our sites. We report against this on both a location based and a market based approach. Commitments and key performance indicators are tracked using the market based approach. Scope 3 figures include emissions from purchased goods and services (specifically the packaging we put on the market and the ingredients we use in our products); fuel and energy-related activities not already included in Scope 1 and 2 (e.g. emissions from well-to-tank and transmission and distribution); upstream transportation and distribution; waste generated in operations; business travel (including employee business travel by rail and air); upstream leased assets (including the home charging of company vehicles); use of sold products (including CO2 emissions released by consumers); end of life treatment of sold products; and downstream leased assets (including the electricity used by our hot and cold drink equipment at our customers’ premises). This accounts for over 90% of our Scope 3 emissions. Additional Scope 3 emissions, from capital goods, employee commuting and the use of sold products, are not included in our value chain figures below, and we will report on these separately as part of our 2021 CDP response. All other Scope 3 categories are not currently applicable to CCEP. Emission factors used include industry and supplier data, Defra/BEIS 2021 and IEA 2019 emission factors. 0.13% of our value chain carbon footprint is based on estimated emissions (e.g. leased offices where energy invoices or the square metre footage size of the site is not available). The figures for 2021 in table 1, along with selected information on our website, are subject to independent assurance by DNV GL in accordance with the ISAE 3000 standard. The full assurance statement with DNV GL’s scope of work, and basis of conclusion, will be published on our website in May 2022. API Over the course of 2021 and 2022, we are working to develop a full GHG emissions inventory for API markets, including Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions. For 2021 our reporting is limited to Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for our API markets. Our intention is to report Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions for API markets in future years. GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) Details of our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions in tonnes of CO2 equivalent (stated as CO2e) during 2021 are set out in table 2. Our Scope 1 and 2 emissions are independent of any GHG trades, and our Scope 2 emissions are reported using both a location based and a market based approach. Our scope of GHG reporting covers our bottling and production facilities for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages under our operational control, or where we have significant financial control. This excludes warehouses, packaging production sites and corporate offices. It also excludes emissions from our own vehicles, or fugitive emissions of CO2. Intensity ratios CCEP – API We have not reported GHG intensity ratios for API, as the different scope of GHG emissions reporting compared to Europe would not allow a meaningful comparison. Note on sources of data and calculation methodologies Data is consolidated from a number of sources across our business and is analysed centrally. We use a variety of methodologies to gather our emissions data and measure each part of our operational carbon footprint, including natural gas and purchased electricity data. We use emission factors relevant to the source data including Australia National Greenhouse Accounts factors. Scope 1 figures include direct sources of emissions such as the fuel we use for manufacturing. Scope 2 figures include indirect sources from the generation of electricity we use at our sites. We report against this on both a location based and a market based approach. For 2021, we have not reported Scope 3 for API markets. The figures for 2021 in table 2, along with selected information on our website, are subject to independent assurance by DNV GL in accordance with the ISAE 3000 standard. The full assurance statement with DNV GL’s scope of work, and basis of conclusion, will be published on our website in May 2022.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F27 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Action on – Packaging We are taking action to reduce the impact of our packaging and delivery solutions. We are innovating to use less packaging and driving packaging circularity, with a focus on reducing our use of fossil-fuel based plastic. Packaging represents approximately 40% of our total value chain carbon footprint. We are taking action to drive down the footprint of our packaging as part of our path to zero: zero waste and net zero GHG emissions. We aim to achieve this through the key pillars of our packaging strategy: removing unnecessary packaging; innovating in refillable and dispensed solutions; achieving 100% collection so that packaging can be recycled and reused; and increasing the recycled content of our packaging. Packaging collection is critical to achieving a circular economy for packaging. While we have made good progress in Europe, Australia and Indonesia, challenges remain in markets which do not have deposit return schemes (DRS) and in regions where formal waste collection systems are not well established such as Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Samoa. We are committed to partnering with governments, industry and civil society, and spearheading voluntary action, where needed, to drive the acceleration of well designed collection systems. This includes systems such as DRS (also known as container deposit schemes (CDS)) and directly funded models for packaging collection. Our SPO streamlines all the technical and exploratory sustainable packaging work across our geographies, accelerates our innovation and supports progress towards our goals. Through our PET recycling facility, Amandina, we can increase our use of recycled plastic in Indonesia, and reduce the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment. Emmeline Hambali, President Director at Amandina Bumi Nusantara Reduce and remove We continue to innovate with our partners and suppliers to reduce and remove packaging. In 2021, we introduced a newly designed lighter weight neck on our PET bottles for carbonated soft drinks in Germany. Other European markets will convert to the new neck finish in 2022. This move will save 15,000 tonnes of CO2e and 9,100 tonnes of plastic a year by 2024. Implementation ran in parallel with the trial and roll out of our solution for tethered closures, required by 2024 as provision of the EU’s Single Use Plastic Directive. In 2021, we continued to shift our can portfolio from steel to aluminium in Europe. As aluminium is lighter than steel, this will contribute to a carbon footprint reduction of about 100,000 tonnes of CO2e by 2024. We also continue to replace hard to recycle shrink wrap with 100% sustainably sourced, recyclable cardboard for multi pack cans in Europe. This includes Keel Clip, an innovative, minimalist paperboard solution, introduced in France in 2021. This new type of secondary packaging not only replaces the plastic wrap but also minimises the amount of paper and card required. In 2021, we began the trial and roll out of tethered closures, a provision of the EU’s Single Use Plastic Directive. Case study Partnership to progress circularity in Indonesia Our Indonesian PET recycling plant is a joint venture with Dynapack Asia and construction commenced in 2021. The state of the art rPET facility, run by Amandina Bumi Nusantara, will enable us to create a closed loop plastic packaging supply chain by producing food grade PET pellets made from post-consumer plastic bottles collected locally. The recycling plant is on track to enable us to start using rPET in our 390ml carbonated soft drinks bottles in 2022 in Indonesia. We also established Mahija Parahita Nusantara, a non-profit foundation, working to improve the lives and welfare of 3,500 waste pickers working in the informal waste sector collecting high quality feedstock for the recycling plant in Indonesia. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F28 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Action on – Packaging CONTINUED In 2021, together with TCCC, we initiated a cross system approach to drive innovation in refillable packaging and dispensed delivery models, offering consumers new and convenient ways to enjoy our drinks, while eliminating packaging waste. As part of this, we extended trials of new dispensed equipment in Europe, offering smaller on the go and at work locations the opportunity to provide consumers with their favourite drinks on demand. This innovation can have a lower carbon footprint compared to bottles or cans and will help us to reduce GHG emissions in Europe by 30% by 2030. In 2021, we introduced soda syrups in Germany, a self-pour dispensed technology trial in Spain and a dispensed and refillable vessel trial in Sweden. In France and GB, we work in partnership with Loop™, a ground-breaking zero waste shopping platform, which provides an alternative to single use packaging. In 2021, we extended an online trial into 10 stores with Tesco in GB, using refillable packaging that customers return after use, resulting in less plastic waste. Driving circularity In Europe, we continue to advocate for a well designed DRS and have been instrumental in establishing Circularity Scotland, which will help develop and administer the DRS we expect to see established in 2023. We are also supporting the introduction of DRS legislation in England and Wales. In Fiji, we operate Mission Pacific, a plastic bottle and can recycling scheme, and we extended the scheme, in Samoa in 2021. We are also supporting the establishment of a container deposit scheme in New Zealand. In Australia and Indonesia we are increasing onshore recycling capacity by investing in joint venture PET recycling plants. In Australia, two new plants will build a combined annual capacity of 40,000 tonnes of rPET by 2025. In Indonesia, an initial 15,000 tonnes a year in 2022 is expected to rise to 25,000 tonnes per year by 2023, with plans to expand to 50,000 tonnes a year by 2024. In 2021, we accelerated our use of rPET in our PET bottles in both Europe and API, and announced further transitions to 100% rPET in Belgium, France and Germany. We moved to 100% rPET for single-serve bottles across GB, Australia and New Zealand and completed our transition to 100% rPET bottles in the Netherlands. We continue to use the power of our brands to encourage recycling via on pack messages for Coca-Cola in Australia and New Zealand. In Australia our popular integrated marketing campaigns for Mount Franklin continued in 2021. +50,000 tonnes more rPET produced in Indonesia a year by 2024 +40,000 tonnes more rPET produced in Austraila a year by 2025 Our progress(A) PACKAGING RECYCLABILITY Primary packaging that is recyclable or reusable(B) Europe 2020 98.0% 2021 98.3% RECYCLED PLASTIC Percentage of PET used that is rPET Europe 2020 2021 API Australia 2020 2021 41.3% 52.9% 58.2% 59.8% New Zealand 2020 2021 39.2% 42.3% (A) The acquisition of API completed on 10 May 2021.

Petra Höh, Chairwoman Care 4 Cologne e.V. Community investment Our community partnerships cover wide-ranging issues including youth development, diversity and inclusion and disaster resilience. We support our partners by providing financial investment, employee volunteering and product donations. Youth development Across our territories we have many community partnerships which support young people. In 2021, some of our activities were impacted by COVID-19 but we remain committed to our partnerships. This includes our work with FIER.E.S in France, an initiative that helps to build self-confidence and provides a pathway to employment for young people. In Germany, we support the German Foundation of Integration with Geh Deinen Weg, a two year mentoring programme helping young people with an immigrant background to integrate into German society and find opportunities. In New Zealand, we partner with Youthline, an organisation that supports young people who are struggling (with their mental health or other issues), as well as those who want to learn, grow and give back to their community. +58,000 people supported in 2021 through our community programmes in Europe Protecting our environment We are committed to protecting our environment and support environmental programmes through investment and volunteering. These include our community based water replenishment partnerships in Belgium, France, GB, Portugal and Spain, and our land-based and marine litter clean up programmes across our territories. Social inclusion From our refugees and newcomers programmes in Belgium and the Netherlands, to supporting local foodbanks and food distribution charities across Europe and API, we help local communities and vulnerable groups. With TCCC, we support Special Olympics, the world’s largest sports organisation for people with intellectual disabilities in Belgium, France, GB, Germany and the Netherlands. In Spain, supported by our Chairman, Sol Daurella, who acted as guest speaker at the event, we organised the fifth edition of GIRA Mujeres, a training programme for women who want to develop a business idea through entrepreneurship. Disaster response and resilience In 2021, in Fiji and Indonesia, we assisted first responders in times of environmental disaster and social upheaval by donating bottled drinks for communities. In Germany, many people and our production facility in Bad Neuenahr, were impacted by severe floods in July 2021. Together with TCCC we donated €400,000 to the Red Cross to support disaster relief in the affected regions, and distributed drinks to people in need. Case study Chaudfontaine for Chaudfontaine In July 2021, floods in the Walloon region of Belgium caused enormous damage. Many homes, schools and roads were destroyed by the inexorable force of the water and our production facility in Chaudfontaine was severely impacted. Together with TCCC and The Coca-Cola Foundation we donated €1 million to support the local community. This included a €250,000 donation (via The Coca-Cola Foundation) to the Belgian Red Cross to provide hot meals to flood victims. Together with TCCC we ran an on pack marketing campaign via our Chaudfontaine brand which included a €750,000 donation to help rebuild two schools in the local area. In addition, more than 300 of our employees in Belgium volunteered their time to help the Chaudfontaine community response to the disaster. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F30 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Action on – Society CONTINUED Partnerships with our customers In 2021, we worked with customers in remote indigenous communities in Australia to establish recycling programmes. In France, we partnered with social entrepreneurship NGO Groupe SOS to support 1,000 cafés, an initiative for rural communities to meet. In Germany, we continued our Projekt: LokalLiebe to enable participating local restaurants and bars to support charities and community groups. Through the initiative we donated two cents for every reusable glass bottle of ViO, Apollinaris and Honest brands sold. In 2021, over €53,000 was donated to 60 charitable projects nominated by participating outlets. Support for local communities Our “Support my Cause” initiative enables our people to nominate grassroots charitable and community causes for CCEP to support. In 2021, we donated €220,000 to 44 local charities and community groups across our European markets. In addition, we donated over €520,000 to support 158 grassroots charitable and community partnerships located close to our sites and offices. In API, we run many similar initiatives including our Employee Connected Grants programme in Australia, which is a partnership with the Coca-Cola Australia Foundation. Volunteering in the community We encourage our people to participate in volunteering activities connected to our sustainability commitments, such as litter clean up campaigns and charity fundraising events. Our employees in Europe can spend up to two paid working days each year volunteering for a charity or cause of their choice. While we currently operate different regional policies related to employee volunteering, we will align our approach in 2022. We develop volunteering programmes in collaboration with community investment partnerships and in 2021, our people took part in several volunteering activities across our territories. In GB, employees volunteered in the Treasure Your River campaign and we have active partnerships with Keep Britain Tidy, Keep Scotland Beautiful, Keep Wales Tidy and Rivers Trust; Mares Circulares in Portugal and Spain; River clean up and Dokano in Belgium; and Nature Protection Trinkwasserwald in Germany. In Indonesia, we support the Bali Beach Clean Up programme and Coca-Cola Forests, a tree planting and environmental education programme. In Fiji, we operate Mission Pacific, for the collection and recycling of our packaging, and support the Mamanuca Environment Society. In Spain, during the 2021 Christmas season, over 150 volunteers worked alongside local NGOs, foodbanks and charities to distribute 16,000 meals to vulnerable people. As part of this initiative we donated over €278,000 to local charities.

We support the current recommendation by several leading health authorities, including the World Health Organisation, that people should limit their intake of added sugar to no more than 10% of their total calorie consumption. Working with TCCC and other franchisors, we are evolving our portfolio across all our territories, introducing new low and no calorie options, reformulating our recipes and promoting our low and no calorie drinks to consumers. We also offer drinks produced with organic, Fairtrade and Rainforest certified ingredients in our portfolio – never compromising on taste. Our focus is on empowering consumers to make more informed choices by providing transparent product information, offering smaller pack sizes and championing responsible marketing. In addition, we are working to deliver the highest product quality and safety to our consumers by incorporating The Coca-Cola Operating Requirements (KORE), which define operational controls and prioritise sustainable sourcing of our ingredients. Great taste, less sugar Working with TCCC and other franchisors, in Europe we have already made great progress in reducing the amount of sugar used in our soft drinks by 17.9% between 2015 and 2021; representing a reduction of 22.2% since 2010, equivalent to 232k tonnes of sugar removed. We are a long standing member of the Union of European Soft Drinks Associations (UNESDA) which represents Europe’s soft drinks industry and we support its industry led pledge to reduce average added sugars in soft drinks by another 10% by 2025 versus 2019 across Europe. In 2021, we introduced new low and no calorie drinks, including Monster Ultra Fiesta in France and GB, Chaudfontaine Bio in Belgium and Fuze Tea Peach Elderflower in Germany, Norway and Sweden. In Australia, Indonesia and New Zealand, we have clear sugar reduction targets across our drinks portfolio. In Australia we are committed to reducing average sugar per 100ml by 20% by 2025 (versus 2015). In Indonesia we are committed to reducing average sugar per 100ml by 35% by 2025 (versus 2015); and by 20% by 2025 (versus 2015) in New Zealand. In 2021, we introduced new reduced sugar drinks including Fanta Raspberry in Fiji and Schweppes Ginger Ale and Tonic Water in Indonesia. In Europe, we are aiming for 50% of our sales to come from low or no calorie drinks by 2025 and we actively influence people to reduce their daily sugar intake by raising awareness of our low-calorie drinks through our point of sales communications. In API, we continue to implement our wellbeing initiatives by introducing and promoting low and no sugar drinks. This includes our promotion of Coca-Cola No Sugar in remote Indigenous communities in Australia in respectful collaboration with our retail partners and their communities. Since 2015, this work has delivered a 26.1% decrease in average sugar per 100ml sold through our 134 partner stores. Across our territories, we are also innovating to help consumers control their calorie and sugar intake by offering choice for every occasion. In Europe 4% of our sparkling soft drinks by volume is now in packs of 250ml or less. Case study Reformulation of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar Globally, our reformulation of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar (or “Coca-Cola No Sugar” in some countries) is the result of years of innovation to deliver a new and improved taste as close as possible to Coca-Cola Classic, with no sugar. We launched this new Coca-Cola Zero Sugar in 2021 across many of our European and API territories, and New Zealand will follow in 2022. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F32 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Action on – Drinks CONTINUED Clear, straightforward information We are committed to providing clear and transparent nutritional product information, including detailed sugar and calorie content. In 2009, we were one of the first companies to voluntarily introduce Guideline Daily Amount labelling on all of our packaging. Since 2017, our bottles in Europe and Australia have featured a servings per pack icon to show the amount of 250ml portions in a multi serve pack. We align with all global and local legislation and are encouraged to see growing support for colour based interpretive product labelling across the EU. We are closely monitoring developments related to the EU-led process for nutrition labelling. In Australia, we adopted the voluntary front of pack Health Star Rating on all our non-alcoholic drinks. The labelling system rates the nutritional profile of our drinks and helps consumers make healthier choices. Responsible marketing Our clear policies and guidelines ensure we market our drinks responsibly. In Europe, through UNESDA we commit not to advertise in printed media, online or during broadcast programmes aimed specifically at children. Across our territories, we do not advertise or market any products to children under 12. Through our Responsible Sales and Marketing Principles we provide clear guidance to ensure that we are honest and transparent in everything we do, that we aim to never mislead consumers, and that we should take every opportunity to help consumers make informed choices about what they drink. In 2021, we updated these principles and briefed all our sales and marketing teams. Where we distribute drinks that contain alcohol, we respect the local code of practice for responsible marketing and promotion, including messaging on responsible drinking and marketing products in channels such as hospitality where consumers are adults over local legal purchase age. CCEP has been our partner for many years in remote Australia, and has ensured consistency of supply as well as support for strategic initiatives such as the wellbeing strategy to address community health, resulting in economic and employment benefits for local communities. Enjoy choice, enjoy taste To offer consumers more choice we have increased our portfolio of drinks to include RTD teas, organic soft drinks, beverages with nutritious benefits, coffee and alcohol with TCCC and our franchisors. In 2021, we launched Ocean Spray Pink in France, a sparkling juice blend with the flavour of cranberries for a light and refreshing taste. In Portugal, we also launched Fanta Guaraná, the first zero sugar guaraná flavoured beverage in the market. The expansion of our coffee portfolio across Europe saw the launch of Costa Coffee in Belgium, Norway and Spain in 2021, following its launch in Germany in 2020. Our coffee brand Grinders in Australia is now Rainforest Alliance certified, supporting more sustainable practices for about two million farmers in 63 communities.

Climate change impacts are continuing to exacerbate water scarcity and water quality, which provide a significant risk to the economy and wider society. CCEP relies upon a sustainable and high quality water supply. It is the main ingredient in our products, is essential for our manufacturing processes and is critical for our ingredients. A reduction in the availability or quality of water where we produce our products or source our ingredients could significantly impact our business. To address these challenges and protect our water resources, we have adopted a value chain approach to water management. Our approach to water stewardship is aligned with TCCC’s 2030 water strategy. This approach to water security allows us to prioritise the areas of our value chain – both operations and sourcing regions – most at risk from water stress. We are developing water reduction targets across our European and API operational sites, reflecting the needs of our local sites and sourcing regions. We measure performance through our water use ratio, which is the average amount of water we need to produce a litre of product. In 2021, our water use ratio in Europe was 1.58 litres of water per litre of product produced – a reduction of 13% since 2010. In API our water use ratio was 1.75 per litre of product produced. In 2022, we will update our water use targets as part of our This is Forward sustainability action plan. We return 100% of our wastewater safely to nature and our community based partnerships across our territories replenish the water we use in areas of water stress. Water approach Our water risk mapping is based upon a series of risk assessments. All our sites are assessed through a global enterprise water risk assessment which uses the World Resources Institute’s (WRI) global water risk mapping. This is supported by local Facility Water Vulnerability Assessments (FAWVAs). Through the WRI Aqueduct Water Stress mapping tool, we know that 22 of our 45 production facilities in Europe, and three of our 24 production facilities in API are located in areas of high baseline water stress(A). In 2021, these sites used 10.7 million m³ of water in our production volume in Europe, and 1.37 million m³ of water in API. This represented 55.6% of our total production volume in Europe, and 22.6% in API. In 2020, all of our production facilities completed their first annual FAWVA, allowing us to assess a wider range of physical, regulatory and social risks. We used this assessment to categorise our sites into “leadership”, “advanced efficiency” and “contributing locations” (based on the level of local water risk) and set local context-based targets. Based upon the FAWVAs, eight of our production facilities in Europe, and four in API have been identified as “leadership locations”, representing 7.9 million m³ of our total water volume. Sites in leadership locations are those which rely on vulnerable water sources or have a high level of water dependency. These sites have the highest water reduction targets, and aim to achieve 100% regenerative water use. This means finding a beneficial use for our wastewater and replenishing any remaining water through replenishment projects in the local watershed. The FAWVAs are supported by source vulnerability assessments (SVAs), which are undertaken at a local level every five years and are aligned to the Alliance for Water Stewardship Standard. The FAWVAs and SVAs feed into our site water management plans (WMPs), which support target management, climate resilience, data sharing and reporting. In 2021, all our non-alcoholic drinks production facilities had SVAs and WMPs in place. Improving water security Our manufacturing and cleaning processes are as water efficient as possible and we continue to invest in our equipment in order to reduce our water use. In 2021, we reduced the rinsing time of our glass bottles at our Jordbro production facility in Sweden and saved 1.2 million litres of water a year. In Belgium, we will save up to six million litres of water using new vacuum pump fillers for beverage filling processes that we introduced in 2021. We are piloting a project in Spain to track production line water usage through metering and online live tracking, and we aim to roll this out across Europe and API over 2022 and 2023. Water replenishment We aim to achieve 100% regenerative water use in the areas where it matters most: leadership locations where we have identified local water risks. This means we will aim to reduce the water we use in these facilities as much as possible, find a beneficial use for any wastewater and replenish 100% of the water used in these locations. We also aim to continue to replenish 100% of the water that we use where it is sourced from areas of water stress. (A) Soft drink production facilities only. In 2021, we closed two of our production facilities in Europe, but the production volumes from these facilities are included up until point of closure. With the support of the Coca-Cola Foundation, we will be able to restore biotopes such as fens and wet heath in order to return unique plants and animals to nature. Filip Hebbrecht, Responsible Partnerships at Natuurpunt Case study Water replenishment project Catalyst Project Catalyst, a joint collaboration between The Coca-Cola Foundation, sugar cane farmers in Queensland, Australia, WWF Australia, natural resource management bodies and the Federal Government, aims to reduce the agricultural runoff impacting the Great Barrier Reef. The project supports sugar cane growers to adopt beneficial and sustainable farming practice changes, and improve the quality of waters impacting the reef. Since 2009, the initiative has grown to include more than 130 farmers, improving the quality of 150 billion litres of water flowing into the reef and has reduced runoff by 180 tonnes per year. In 2021, 8.1 billion litres of water have been replenished through the project. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F 34 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Action on – Water CONTINUED In 2021, together with TCCC and The Coca-Cola Foundation, we managed 22 water replenishment projects in Europe and 6 in API. As a result, we replenished 27 million m³ of water across our territories; including 15.5 million m³ in Europe and 11.5 million m³ in API. This represents 226% of the water we sourced to make our drinks in areas affected by water stress in Europe, and 463% in API. Our water replenishment programmes include a programme with The Coca-Cola Foundation and Natuurpunt in Belgium to replenish 247 million litres of water per year over the next four years, through the redesign of heath and fenlands located in the same river basin as our production facility in Antwerp. In Spain, we continue supporting Misión Posible: Desafío Guadalquivir (Mission Possible: Guadalquivir Challenge) a project based in Seville and Cádiz and run in partnership with WWF and The Coca-Cola Foundation. The project aims to improve the irrigation of agricultural crops in the area and the biodiversity of the Guadalquivir river by restoring a nearby marsh. Water work with local government We collaborate with NGOs, local authorities, businesses and communities throughout our territories to improve water efficiency and protect the health of our watersheds. In 2021, we met the French government to discuss water allowances at our production facility in Dunkirk and will commence a water replenishment programme in 2022. In 2021, we also met with local water supplier Brabant Water in the Netherlands to discuss reduction, reuse and replenishment opportunities at our production facility in Dongen, and had our water extraction permit extended, acknowledging our strong long-term water management strategy. Restoring nature Preservation of natural ecosystems is key to our long-term success and sustainability. We aim to leave nature in a better state than how we found it, building adaptation and resilience into our key operating and sourcing regions. We are committed to restoring and enhancing biodiversity and nature by investing in nature based solutions that remove GHG emissions, support our water stewardship goals and eliminate deforestation across our value chain. In 2022, we aim to develop clear commitments and set measurable, time bound targets on biodiversity and deforestation across our combined business. We will also expand our existing understanding of biodiversity risks within our own operations, by conducting a biodiversity risk assessment.

We rely on global supply chains to make, sell and distribute our products, yet these supply chains are under increasing pressure from population growth, increased demand for food products and climate change. We are committed to sustainably sourcing 100% of our agricultural ingredients and raw materials. Together with TCCC, we work collaboratively with our suppliers to support biodiversity and ecosystems, to respect and protect the human rights of everyone working across our supply chain and create systemic and sustainable change. We believe sustainable supply chains offer solutions to major challenges including human rights, water security, climate resilience, GHG emissions reduction and women’s empowerment. We ensure our suppliers respect our Code of Conduct and make a positive impact on society, in line with the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labour Organisation’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the United Nations’ Global Compact. Responsible sourcing In Europe, we source products from around 13,200 suppliers and 83% of our spend (excluding concentrate and juices purchased from TCCC and other franchisors) is with suppliers based in our territories. We are committed to sustainably sourcing ingredients for our drinks, including water, sugar beet, sugar cane, coffee, tea and fruit juices, and raw materials for our packaging such as glass, aluminium, PET and paper. While we currently operate different regional principles to measure supplier compliance on sustainability and track progress, we are aligning our activities in Europe and API to create a single global responsible sourcing programme, which we will launch in 2022. In Europe, we operate TCCC’s Supplier Guiding Principles (SGPs) and Principles for Sustainable Agriculture (PSA). In API, we track compliance on sustainability through Responsible Sourcing Guidelines (RSGs), SGPs and PSA. The SGPs set minimum requirements for labour conditions, health and safety, and human rights. The PSAs apply to agricultural ingredients and raw material suppliers, covering sustainable farm management, including the protection of woodlands from deforestation and minimising impacts on biodiversity. Our RSGs cover supplier performance related to business ethics, human and workplace rights, the environment, and providing benefits to communities. TCCC commissions independent audits to monitor how our ingredients and packaging suppliers comply with SGPs and RSGs. PSA compliance is verified through adherence to global third party sustainable agriculture standards approved by TCCC. We work in partnership with EcoVadis, an independent evaluation company to rate the sustainability performance of our suppliers, including environment, carbon management, human rights and fair business practices. In Europe, we are aiming for our suppliers to achieve an average overall score of 65 by 2025. In 2021, these suppliers had an average overall score of 59 out of 100. Case study Reaching net zero with our suppliers Over 90% of our value chain GHG emissions come from our supply chain and we are collaborating with our suppliers, helping them to reduce their emissions. A year after we launched our net zero 2040 ambition and 2030 emissions reduction target in Europe, we are making significant progress with our suppliers. We have asked them to take action on three key areas by 2023: set SBTi validated GHG emissions reduction targets; commit to using 100% renewable electricity across their own operations; and to share their carbon footprint data with CCEP. By the end of 2021, 47% of our “carbon strategic suppliers” in Europe (i.e. those suppliers that account for over 80% of our Scope 3 emissions) were engaging directly with SBTi to set their own science based targets. This represents a significant increase from 2020. We are also working to understand supplier specific emission factors for carbon strategic suppliers across core aspects of our supply chain, such as packaging. This will be critical in helping us to build a more accurate picture of our Scope 3 emissions and reflect the impact of our suppliers’ actions. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F36 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Action on – Supply chain CONTINUED Protecting inherent rights and freedoms Human rights are fundamental to how we run our business and the communities in which we operate. We are committed to ensuring everyone who works at CCEP and in our supply chain is treated with dignity and respect. In 2021, we provided human rights training to all procurement employees in Europe. We continue to improve the validation and proactive management of our suppliers in key areas such as human rights and modern slavery. This includes our collaboration with EcoVadis, via technology platform IQ, which allows us to screen our entire supply base and understand inherent risks by country and industry. In 2021, we started using data gathered through IQ to proactively manage sustainability risks across our supply base. In addition, in partnership with Resilinc, we successfully piloted an artificial intelligence tool for proactively identifying potential risks that could impact our business through our supply network beyond our direct suppliers. We will roll out the tool across our territories in 2022. In API, we drive positive social outcomes via specific social procurement programmes, and focus on supporting and upholding the human rights of vulnerable or disadvantaged groups. In 2021, we spent approximately €3 million with social enterprises that support employment opportunities for disadvantaged groups in Australia. Together with CCEP we are taking action towards a low carbon future by reducing our emissions through a commitment to science based targets. Sustainability is at the centre of our recently published strategy. Nordzucker is proud to work with a company that shares our goals.

This places CCEP in the top 1% of companies in our sector. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F 37 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Our people We are grateful for the passion, talent and hard work our people contribute to create our company culture and deliver sustainable growth. We provide a workplace that promotes wellbeing, inclusion and respect, where people at every level can be heard, grow and have a positive experience. Being well Our people’s physical and mental wellbeing remain our priority and we promote this in our workplace. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken measures to ensure our people can continue to work safely and feel supported. At a global level, physical safety ranked number one and personal wellbeing scored positively in our engagement and culture pulse survey in June 2021. We continue to embed a strong health and safety culture, systems, processes and programmes, including a target to reduce our total incident rate to below 1 by 2025. Tragically there were four employee fatalities during 2021; one in Belgium and three in Indonesia. The incidents were investigated with the local authorities and we continue to improve our safety procedures to prevent a reoccurrence. In Europe, our total incident rate was 1.11 per 100 full time equivalent employees, and in API this was 0.75. Further information about our safety performance and incident rates will be available on our website from May 2022. In cases where our people are injured or suffer any mental or physical health issues while employed by CCEP, we endeavour to make any reasonable adjustments to their duties and working environment to support their recovery and continued employment. Over 2021, we’ve grown our Wellbeing First Aider initiative to build an internal mental health support network of over 600 trained employees globally. More than 1,000 people have received support and benefitted from our Employee Assistance Programme, a 24/7 independent service offering free professional care and counselling, self-help programmes, interactive tools and educational resources for our people and their family members. In 2021, we’ve done more to promote these initiatives, including our “Don’t bottle it up” campaign featuring some of our colleagues’ experiences of wellbeing support in our workplace.  Formoreinformationaboutourpeoplegoto www.cocacolaep.com/sustainability/this-is-forward/ action-on-society-our-people/ Case study Not all disabilities are visible On the UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2021, we worked with TCCC to produce a new bottle label that voices our values on disability inclusion. The label features purple, the colour increasingly associated with disability inclusion and sparking conversations worldwide. It also features the statement that “Not all disabilities are visible”, a reminder that some disabilities are not immediately apparent. Currently for internal use, we are gathering feedback from key stakeholders, so we can further develop and improve this initiative. ME@CCEP Me@CCEP defines the experience we want our people to have at CCEP It is about 01 Being well The safety and wellbeing of our people is vitally important. We want everyone to feel happy and healthy and to work with integrity and respect so we can all thrive at work and at home. 03 Being valued We are at our best when we can be ourselves at work, when we can be heard, share our perspectives and insights and build upon our strengths. 05 Being recognised All our people have a part to play in CCEP’s growth and we recognise, reward and celebrate the great work they do every day. We do this in ways that are simple, transparent and consistent. 02 Being connected We’re powerful when we work as part of a winning team – championing communication, connection and collaboration. 04 Being developed Our experiences make us stronger and we support our people in exploring opportunities to develop – providing possibilities to continually learn, grow in their role and get to where they want to be. 06 Being inspired We strive to be a force for good – for people and for the planet.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F38 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Our people CONTINUED Being connected Good communication is an essential part of building a motivated, engaged workforce. Our people have access to news and information about CCEP in local languages through internal communication platforms, Redline in Europe and Workplace in API. There is also direct dialogue through business talks and all hands meetings. CCEP management gives updates about CCEP’s overall, and local, performance through these channels. We’re committed to communicating clearly and transparently with our people. We continue to invest to improve our people’s access to information. In 2021, we introduced Compass, a new online platform bringing together all apps and digital services our people use in one place. We have improved the interface and experience of our people platform, Genie, in response to employee feedback. Our people use platforms to ask questions, provide feedback, and connect with our leadership on all topics from sustainability to innovation. CCEP meets regularly with European, national and local works councils and trade unions that represent our people. When required, we consult with our people and their representatives to discuss proposed measures before making decisions. We encourage constructive and meaningful dialogue. During consultation, our employee representatives have the opportunity to ask questions, share views and propose alternatives to proposals before management makes a final decision. ReadmoreabouthowourDirectors,andCCEPengagewith ourpeopleonpage 12 Our policies and procedures ensure consistency and fairness across CCEP. Our policies are written in an understandable way and are accessible in local languages. Every year we review our policies to ensure they are up to date with legal requirements and relevant for business and social strategies. In 2021, we took the opportunity to harmonise policies across Europe and API. Being valued Our philosophy is that “everyone’s welcome to be themselves, be valued and belong” at CCEP. We are committed to building a diverse workforce, with an inclusive culture and equity at its core. We have created an environment with opportunities for people of every culture, faith, ethnicity, heritage, ability, gender, sexual orientation and age. We believe this commitment will enable us to take positive action for people, better represent the society we serve and support our sustainable business growth. Led by our ID&E Centre of Expertise and sponsored by our ELT members, we deliver our ID&E strategy by listening to our people’s lived experiences, developing action plans and tracking progress against our five pillars: culture and heritage; disability; gender; LGBT+; and multi generations. We have dedicated groups of employees and ELT sponsors catalysing action at scale to remove identified barriers to inclusion. In 2021, we ran a year-long campaign aimed at breaking barriers that stand in the way of equality in the workplace. As part of this campaign, we delivered a panel conversation with our Chairman, CEO, sponsors and employee ambassadors about gender based stereotypes. We ran ID&E workplace audits on disability and LGBT+ matters to identify best practices for implementation. We featured colleague experiences of working successfully across generations at CCEP. We shared videos featuring advice from our employees on using culturally inclusive words and the importance of allyship. For the first time, we ran a voluntary, anonymous survey focused on ID&E in the majority of our countries in 2021. This provided our people with the opportunity to give feedback on their inclusion experience at CCEP and self-declare personal diversity information. Employees participated in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. We expect the outcomes to enable us to better understand the diversity of our workforce at all levels, improve the inclusivity of our people’s experience and ensure equity is embedded in our infrastructure and people policies. As part of our commitment to inclusive, diverse and equitable workplace practices, we continue to partner with organisations and bodies such as European Network Against Racism, the Valuable 500, the Business Disability Forum, LEAD Network, the United Nations Women’s Empowerment Principles, Stonewall and the Social Mobility Index.

In 2021, 37.3% of leadership positions were held by women, up from 35.6% in 2020. We have been reaccredited recognition for our continued commitment to gender balance in the workplace, including the Gender Tick in New Zealand, the Equal Pay Certificate in Iceland, +Fières en 2021 and 99 score on the Gender Index in France and via the Global Bloomberg Gender Equality Index. We are committed to being an equal opportunities employer. We make decisions about recruitment, promotion, training and other employment matters solely on the grounds of individual ability, achievement, expertise and conduct. We don’t discriminate on the basis of gender, gender identity, race, religion, ethnicity, cultural heritage, age, social background, mental or physical ability or disability, national origin, sexual orientation or any other reason not related to job performance or prohibited by applicable law. Being developed We are committed to creating a workplace where our people can be heard, grow and advance. We have increased our cadence of confidential pulse surveys to provide our people with more opportunities to share how they’re feeling throughout the year and to gain insights to strengthen our workplace culture, improve our people’s experience at work and our business. In June 2021, 24,245 (79%) employees participated in our global engagement and culture pulse survey. On a global level, employee engagement scores are above benchmarks, and our people recommend CCEP as a great place to work. We continue to develop and deliver action plans in each of our countries and corporate functions to act upon the valued voice of our people. We have refreshed our talent philosophy “everyone has talent and everyone can grow” reflecting our commitment to develop talent internally, winning capabilities for the future and accelerate succession for targeted roles. We have training programmes and platforms to develop core capabilities in leadership, commercial, customer service and supply chain at every level of our business. We continue to deliver our wellbeing training modules to our employees. Almost 7,000 managers have now completed this training. We have also launched three new ID&E learning modules on practising inclusive leadership, starting an ID&E conversation and allyship. Underpinning this formal learning is a series of resources, which include conversation guides on LGBT+, allyship, inclusive language, discussing disability and addressing age stereotypes, as well an accessible communication toolkit. We are progressing plans for working flexibly. We continue to value and invest in our early career talent and support initiatives that help young people gain employability, skills and confidence. This includes offering internships, apprenticeships and graduate programmes. For the sixth year, we partnered with One Young World. CCEP delegates attended the summit and an internal post-development programme. They joined over 1,800 young leaders to engage, learn, challenge and discuss important sustainability issues the world faces, covering topics from climate change to poverty alleviation. Being recognised We pay salaries in line with appropriate market rates, as well as providing our people with a range of other benefits. These vary according to their country and level in the organisation. Benefits include medical or dental insurance, life insurance, eyecare vouchers, holiday time and leave packages to cover sickness, post natal childcare, bereavement or a long-term illness in the family. Depending on the country, level and grade, we also offer pension plans. Employee ownership In 2021, we announced the new global CCEP Employee Share Purchase Plan, which will give our employees the opportunity to buy shares in CCEP on a regular basis from 2022. In recognition of this investment, for every share an employee purchases, CCEP will provide a matching share, up to an agreed limit. Around three quarters of our employees participate in annual variable remuneration plans. We offer a consistent annual bonus plan to around 13,000 people across the organisation. In addition, sales incentive plans are in operation for 25% of our people and a further 24% participate in local incentive plans. ReadourDirectors’remunerationreportonpage 92–107 Being inspired We are determined to draw on our people’s passion for what we do and empower them to make a positive difference in our local communities. In 2021, we ran a series of sessions engaging our new colleagues in API to ensure that everyone feels welcome at CCEP, that they belong, can contribute to our shared purpose, strategy, culture and ways of working. Our people in Europe can spend up to two paid working days each year volunteering for a charity or cause of their choice.

Corporate governance At CCEP we hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of corporate governance and aim to provide transparent and timely information in respect of our activities to our stakeholders. CCEP has a strong corporate governance framework with a Board overseeing the interests of all stakeholders. Management has a Compliance and Risk Committee chaired by CCO which advises the ethics and compliance (E&C) function and provides management input regarding the E&C programme. Readmoreaboutourcorporategovernanceonpages 64–81 Ethics and compliance Our E&C programme ensures we are conducting our operations in a lawful and ethical manner. The programme is applicable to our people, officers and Directors. It also supports how we work with our customers, suppliers and third parties. Code of Conduct Our Code of Conduct (CoC) seeks to ensure that we act with integrity and accountability in all our business dealings and relationships, in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies. We expect everyone working at CCEP to adhere to the CoC, which was updated in 2021. We also expect all third parties who work on our behalf to act in an ethical manner consistent with our CoC and to comply with our SGPs. The CoC has been formally adopted in all our territories, as well as our shared service centres in Bulgaria. All employees are required to undergo CoC training, which is part of the induction process for new employees. Training on specific topics related to their roles is also provided where needed. Our CoC specifically calls out manager responsibilities and includes a matrix to help with decision making and guidance on situations such as bullying and harassment. Preventing bribery and corruption We aim to prevent all forms of bribery and corruption in our business dealings. Our CoC sets out our principles and standards to prevent bribery and corruption, including conflicts of interest and the exchange of gifts and entertainment. Our Anti-bribery, Gifts and Entertainment Policy and our Conflicts of Interest Policy apply to all employees. They are required mandatory training for a targeted audience. Raising concerns Any employee who wishes to raise concerns about wrongdoing at CCEP is encouraged to speak to a line manager and/or raise a report through our Code Resources which include our dedicated Speak Up channels.

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F41 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Operating with integrity CONTINUED Respect for human rights We consider human and workplace rights to be inviolable and fundamental to our sustainability as a business. We are committed to ensuring that everyone working throughout our operations and within our supply chain is treated with dignity and respect. Our principles regarding human rights are set out in CCEP’s Human Rights Policy, which is aligned with accepted international standards such as the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. Further information is provided in the SGPs and the PSA in Europe and within the RSGs and SGPs in API. RSGs set out the expectations towards our suppliers’ performance related to business ethics, human and workplace rights, the environment, and providing benefits to communities. In API, 90% of our spend in 2021 was with suppliers which comply with our RSGs. We have a zero tolerance approach to modern slavery of any kind, including forced labour, and any form of human trafficking within our operations and supply chain. In 2017, CCEP published our first Modern Slavery Statement and continue to update this annually. Prior to the Acquisition, CCL published its first Modern Slavery Statement in 2020. In 2019, CCEP conducted its first human rights risk assessment and identified nine key areas posing the greatest risk to our people at work and across our value chain. In 2019, CCL also conducted its first human rights risk assessment and identified twelve key areas comprising the same nine key areas identified by CCEP in its human rights risk assessment plus three additional key areas: (i) freedom from bribery and corruption; (ii) cultural rights of minorities; and (iii) children and young people’s protection from exploitation. These key areas are our priority issues for Europe and API summarised in the Human rights risk assessment table below. In Europe, we initially prioritised compliance and action on four of the key areas (i) health, safety and security; (ii) equality and non-discrimination; (iii) working hours; and (iv) migrant and temporary workers. In 2020, we also developed action plans for: (i) freedom of association; right to privacy; and data protection. We prioritised additional measures to ensure the health and safety of everyone working for CCEP during COVID-19 which delayed us taking action on forced labour and wages. We started a deep dive on these priority issues in 2021. We manage our human rights obligations, risks, and the actions required to mitigate those risks, by implementing a strong governance framework. We recognise that all our employees and supply partners have a role in identifying and mitigating the risks of human rights across our business. Employees and managers are empowered to recognise and address human rights risks and issues as they conduct their work and this extends to the arrangements we agree with worker and trade unions, membership of which we always foster. Our human rights training was refreshed in 2021 to focus on the process of human rights case management for all procurement managers who interact with suppliers. Following the Acquisition, we rolled out compliance training packages across API on several key areas such as CoC, human rights, anti-competitive practices, preventing bribery and corruption, data protection, whistle blower protection and human rights training targeted at all employees.

Our approach to risk The Board has overall responsibility for risk management at CCEP. The Board is closely involved in identifying risks and the strategic response to them, and monitoring management actions to achieve its strategic objectives. To support this, risk management is firmly embedded within our everyday business activities and culture. We identify and assess risk with appropriate risk management strategies, implemented at various levels of our business. CCEP’s enterprise risk management (ERM) framework looks at risks we face and how we can capitalise on opportunities. Since the creation of CCEP and more recently the Acquisition, we have continually evolved our risk management capabilities through seamless collaboration across the business. We review and adapt our risk and internal control systems to address the changing risk environment and to adopt best practice. Through our One Risk Office (a forum to exchange information between all second and third line of defence teams) we discuss and manage risks, responding swiftly through established processes including incident management, business continuity planning (BCP) and risk transfer mechanisms (e.g. insurance). During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the risk framework has allowed us to respond rapidly to a continuously changing environment. We leverage our learnings to strengthen our risk management framework and better prepare for future challenges. Assessing risk To gain an understanding of the risks CCEP faces, we assess risks top down and bottom up. Our annual enterprise risk assessment (ERA) gives us a top down strategic view of risk at the enterprise level. During this assessment we carry out a risk survey with our top business leaders, followed by interviews with the Board, Audit Committee, and our Executive Leadership Team (ELT) to identify current and emerging risks. We periodically review and update our assessment processes. In 2021, we received feedback from over 120 of our top leaders, including all Board members. In 2021, we started to group our enterprise risks into six themes to facilitate focused discussions among the Board and respective risk owners: revenue; supply chain; business continuity, IT and finance; license to operate including ESG; economic and political; and the franchise model. To gain a bottom up view of risk, from an operational perspective, we carry out risk assessments at a business unit (BU), functional and project level. Each BU has established local compliance and risk review processes, undertaken by its local leadership team. The local leadership teams review and update risk assessments, ensuring that risk management is incorporated into daily business routines. In 2021, we introduced a BU business partner model, giving dedicated support to the BU from a ERM team member, which is shown on page 43. The day to day work is overseen by the management committee, (Compliance and Risk Committee, chaired by the Chief Compliance Officer). Every quarter, the committee invites risk owners to share updates on key risks and how they are being managed. In 2021, these included updates on: COVID-19 and business continuity management; API specific risks; key suppliers; training; packaging; human rights; policy changes; data privacy; cyber security; and sharing and discussing results of targeted risk exercises such as assessments, scenarios and simulations. In 2021, following the Acquisition we started to integrate API’s risk management into our existing risk management framework by updating our enterprise risks and performing API country risk assessments. We continued to include important key areas such as employee health and safety, food safety, fraud, legal and tax. These functional risk assessments are integrated into our annual business planning routine. We also completed deep dives into new legislation and water scarcity. Targeted risk assessment and management projects for topical issues within each BU, such as Brexit and COVID-19, were also completed through risk deep dives. Measuring and managing risk Once risks are identified, we analyse them to understand the likelihood of the risk happening and its potential impact. We consider how we manage risks, putting action plans in place and reviewing impact scales annually. In 2021, we reassessed these with a focus on financial impact following the Acquisition, giving each BU local financial impact scales to assess local risks. In addition to likelihood and impact, our risk assessment methodology considers velocity, to understand the speed at which a materialising risk may impact our business. Since the implementation of risk appetite statements in 2020, we have used this tool to support business decision making aligned with our strategic objectives. We compare the as-is risk profile (outcome of ERA) during quarter one with our current risk appetite statements and to-be risk profile. Risk appetite statements are reviewed annually by the Compliance and Risk Committee and the Audit Committee with actions defined as necessary. We will adapt the risk appetite statements for operations by defining key risk indicators for each statement with the risk owners. The management of the key risk indicators will be done via our risk and compliance governance tool, Riskonnect. Adverse trends and breaches of thresholds will be reported to the Compliance and Risk Committee following a defined escalation protocol. In 2021, we conducted further operational scenario analysis and planning to understand how key risks such as water scarcity impact us (for example exercises in Belgium and Spain). We are exploring opportunities to improve our strategic scenario planning capabilities to support strategic decision making, such as for climate and cyber risk scenarios. We are looking to partner with external providers to apply state of the art scenario planning tools and methodologies. To improve our capability to identify emerging risks earlier, we have partnered with an external provider to use an artificial intelligence supported risk sensing tool to extract relevant information and trends from all available external and internal sources. We manage risk through the framework, our processes and policies. Our annual policy review ensures the policies and related policy guidance within CCEP are valid. Changes within the documents have been approved by the Compliance and Risk Committee. New policies, for example, the Travel Security Policy, the Data Management and Retention Policy and the Anti-facilitation of Tax Evasion Policy, have been approved by the Board and the Compliance and Risk Committee. In 2021, an analysis of the CCEP landscape showed that all CCEP policies are related to a risk. The following pages set out a summary of our principal risks based on the findings of our most recent ERA. The Board has carried out a robust assessment of these principal risks. This summary is not intended to include all risks that could impact our business and the risks are presented in no particular order. In this year’s report, we have showed how each principal risk links to and underpins the relevant aspect of our strategy. Beyond principal risks, CCEP faces other operational risks which are managed as part of our daily routines, such as employee health, safety and wellbeing, fraud and human rights.

These include threats and risks such as impacts of war, physical attacks (e.g. terrorism), cyber terrorism and attacks on third parties, and supplier failure as well as natural hazards such as fire, flood, severe weather and pandemics. Working with teams across the business, we develop business continuity plans and resilience arrangements to ensure the delivery of our products and services no matter what the cause of disruption. This is to protect our people, our environment, our reputation and our overall financial condition. In some cases, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, health, economic and legal effects could have a direct or indirect impact on our ability to operate. 2 Packaging Due to our concerns, and those of our stakeholders, about the environmental impacts of litter and GHG emissions, our packaging (especially single use plastic packaging) is under increasing scrutiny from regulators, consumers, customers, and NGOs. As a result, we may have to change our packaging strategy and mix over both the short and long term. This could result in a reduction in the use of single use plastic packaging and the introduction of new pack formats such as dispensed and reusable packaging, and we may be liable for increased costs related to the design, collection, recycling and littering of our packaging. We may be unable to respond in a cost effective manner and our reputation may be adversely impacted.

These systems are potentially vulnerable to adversarial and accidental security and cyber threats, and user behaviour. This threat profile is dynamically changing, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as potential attackers’ skills and tools advance. This exposes us to the risk of unauthorised data access, compromised data accuracy and confidentiality, the loss of system operation or fraud. As a result, we could experience disruption to operations, financial loss, regulatory intervention, or damage to our reputation. Our industry is sensitive to economic conditions such as commodity and currency price volatility, short-term interest rate volatility and inflation changes and expectations, political instability, low consumer confidence, lack of liquidity and funding resources, widening of credit risk premiums, unemployment and the impact of war, the widespread outbreak of infectious disease such as COVID-19. This exposes us to the risk of an adverse impact on CCEP and our consumers, driving a reduction of spend within our category or a change in consumption channels and packs. As a result, we could experience reduced demand for our products, fail to meet our growth priorities and our reputation could be adversely impacted. Adverse economic conditions could also lead to increased volatility, inflation, energy and commodity cost, customer and supplier delinquencies and bankruptcies, while restrictions on the movement of goods in response to economic, political or other conditions, such as COVID-19, could affect our supply chain. Our success in the market depends on a number of factors. These include actions taken by our competitors, route to market, our ability to build strong customer relationships and create value together (which could be affected by customer consolidation, buying groups, and the changing customer landscape) and government actions, including those introduced as a result of COVID-19 such as social distancing, the forced closure of some of our customer channels, restricted tourism and restrictions on large gatherings. This exposes us to the risk that market forces may limit our ability to execute our business plans effectively. As a result, it may be more challenging to expand margins, increase market share, or negotiate with customers effectively, and COVID-19 may also further adversely impact the market in previously unforeseen ways. Our daily operations are subject to a broad range of regulations at EU and national level. These include regulations covering manufacturing, the use of certain ingredients, packaging, labelling requirements, and the distribution and sale of our products. This exposes us to the risk of legal, regulatory or tax changes that may adversely impact our business. As a result, we could face new or higher taxes, higher labour and other costs, stricter sales and marketing controls, or punitive or other actions from regulators or legislative bodies that negatively impact our financial results, business performance or licence to operate. COVID-19 has resulted in both short-term and long-term changes to legislation and regulation. It may also lead to future increases in taxes to finance the cost of government responses to COVID-19. In addition to the changes that took immediate effect from 11pm GMT on 31 December 2020, we expect Brexit could, over time, lead to increased diversity of regulation and consequent costs of compliance including inability to or difficulties in standardising product and process between the UK and CCEP’s other markets. – Proactive monitoring of cyber threats and implementing preventive measures – Business awareness and training on information security and data privacy – Business continuity and disaster recovery programmes – A programme to identify and resolve vulnerabilities – Third party risk assessments – Corporate security business intelligence – Appropriate investment in updating systems – Hardware lifecycle process in place – Regular internal and external testing of our security controls (red teaming, pentesting) – Global Security Operations Centre, operated 24/7 – Executive Team and Board of Directors are actively engaged in the cyber strategy process – Diversified product portfolio and the geographic diversity of our operations assist in mitigating our exposure to any localised economic risk – Our flexible business model allows us to adapt our portfolio to suit our customers’ changing needs during economic downturns – We regularly review our business results and cash flows and, where necessary, rebalance capital investments – Macro economic and political developments continue to be closely monitored to ensure that business is prepared to manage emerging situations – Monitoring of societal developments – We have a very robust and forward-looking hedging policy for managing the financial risks like Fx, commodity and interest rate risks – Shopper insights and price elasticity assessments – Pack and product innovation – Promotional strategy – Commercial policy – Collaborative category planning with customers – Growth centric customer investment policies – Business development plans aligned with our customers – Diversification of portfolio and customer base – Realistic budgeting routines and targets – Investment in key account development and category planning – Continuous evaluation and updating of mitigation plans – Responded to COVID-19 by developing and investing in routes to market, for example, online channel, so our products remain available to consumers – Continuous monitoring of new or changing regulations and appropriate implementation – Dialogue with government representatives and input to public consultations on new or changing regulations – Effective compliance programmes and training for employees – Measures set out elsewhere in this table in relation to legal, regulatory and tax changes with respect to any of the other principal risks, and in particular in relation to packaging, perceived health impact of our beverages and ingredients, and changing consumer preferences – Increasing recycled content level in specific countries to mitigate tax impact Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F 46 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Principal risks CONTINUED Principal risk Definition and impact Key mitigation Change Link to strategy 7 Climate change and water Political and scientific consensus indicates that increased concentrations of carbon dioxide and other GHGs are causing climate change and exacerbating water scarcity. Such GHG emissions occur across our entire value chain including our production facilities, cold drink equipment and transportation. GHG emissions also occur as a result of the packaging we use and ingredients we rely on. Our ingredients and production facilities also rely heavily on the availability of water. This exposes us to the risk of negative impacts related to our ability to produce or distribute our products, or the availability and price of agricultural ingredients and raw materials as a result of increased water scarcity. Failure to address these risks may cause damage to our corporate reputation or investor confidence, a reduction in consumer acceptance of our products and potential disruption to our operations. We make and distribute products containing sugar and alternative sweeteners. Healthy lifestyle campaigns, increased media scrutiny and social media have led to an increasingly negative perception of these ingredients among consumers. This exposes us to the risk that we will be unable to evolve our product and packaging choices quickly enough to satisfy changes in consumer preferences. We will also face new pressure from the EU Commission with the Farm to Fork Strategy, at the heart of the European Green Deal, aiming to make food systems fair, healthy and environmentally friendly. As a result, we could experience sustained decline in sales volume, which could impact our financial results and business performance. 8 Perceived health impact of our beverages and ingredients, and changing consumer buying trends – Set science based carbon reduction targets for our core business operations and our value chain – Carbon reduction plans for our production facilities, distribution and CDE – Supplier carbon footprint reduction programme launched in support of CCEP’s 2040 net zero ambition with focus on suppliers setting SBTi targets and using 100% renewable electricity by 2023 – Transition to 100% renewable electricity across our own operation – External policy leadership and advocacy to support a transition to a low-carbon economy – Life cycle analysis to assess carbon footprint of packaging formats – Use of recycled materials for our packaging, which have a lower carbon footprint – SVAs to protect future sustainability of local water sources and FAWVA and water management plans – Supplier engagement on carbon reduction and sustainable water use – Assessment on climate-related risks and future climate scenario planning – Comprehensive disclosure of GHG emissions across our value chain in line with GHG Protocol – Water scarcity simulation test and exercise of IMTs to ensure an appropriate response to water related incidents – Reducing the sugar content of our soft drinks, through product and pack innovation and reformulation managing our product mix to increase low and no calorie products – Making it easier for consumers to cut down on sugar by providing straightforward product information and smaller pack sizes – EU wide soft drink industry calorie reduction commitment with the Union of European Soft Drinks Associations (UNESDA) – Adopting calorie and sugar reduction commitments at country level – Dialogue with government representatives, NGOs, local communities and customers – Employee communication and education – Responsible sales and marketing codes – Proactive introduction of colour coded front of pack guideline daily amount labelling as a fact based and non-discriminatory way of informing consumers in an understandable way – Encourage the European Commission to evaluate and develop EU harmonised guidance for nutritional labelling, to address potential unfair targeting of the sparkling soft drinks industry – Work with International Sweeteners Association to promote and protect the reputation of alternative sweeteners and, through UNESDA, working with the European food safety authority on their opinions that will inform EU and national government action 9 Competitiveness, business transformation and integration We are continuing our strategy of continuous improvement, which should enable us to remain competitive in the future. This includes technology transformation, supporting home working, improvements in our supply chain and in the way we work with our partners and franchisors, and our Acquisition of CCL and subsequent integration activities. This exposes us to the risk of ineffective coordination between BUs and central functions, change fatigue among our people and social unrest. As a result, we may not create the expected value from these initiatives or execute our business plans effectively. We may also experience damage to our reputation, a decline in our share price, industrial action and disruption of operations. – Regular competitiveness reviews ensuring effective steering, high visibility and quick decision making – Dedicated programme management office and effective project management methodology – Continuation of strong governance routines – Regular ELT and Board reviews and approvals of progress and issue resolution – Analysis and review of acquisition related activities such as integration and business performance risk indicators and capital allocation risk reviews – Building a performant and resilient workforce with priority focus on health and safety and mental wellbeing initiatives especially in the front lines roles  SeePeopleandwellbeingprincipalriskforfurtherdetailsonpages 200–201 Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F 47 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Principal risks CONTINUED Principal risk Definition and impact Key mitigation Change Link to strategy 10 People and wellbeing The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to result in a higher degree of mental health issues and higher absence rates for employees. There is growing awareness of stress related illness due to more demand and responsibility on employees, especially where restructuring takes place, which exposes us to the risk of long-term absence and a loss of production. Our response to these topics, the change in working conditions and the upcoming importance of “future of work” and “working flexibly” will affect the perception of CCEP as an employer and our ability to attract, retain and motivate existing and future employees. This exposes us to the risk of not having the right talent with the required technical skillset. As a result, we could fail to achieve our strategic objectives and could experience a decline in employee engagement, industrial action, suffer from reputational damage or litigation. 11 Relationships with TCCC and other franchisors 12 Product quality We conduct our business primarily under agreements with TCCC and other franchisors. This exposes us to the risk of misaligned incentives or strategy, particularly during periods of low category growth or crisis, such as COVID-19. As a result, TCCC or other franchisors could act adversely to our interests with respect to our business relationship. We produce a wide range of products, all of which must adhere to strict food safety requirements. This exposes us to the risk of failing to meet, or being perceived as failing to meet, the necessary standards, which could lead to compromised product quality. As a result, our brand reputation could be damaged and our products could become less popular with consumers. – CCEP CoC – CCEP wide wellbeing network – Regular communication – External EAP support and internal wellbeing (mental health) first aiders – Flexible working – Working from home – Safety measures – Appropriate incentivisation – Talent reviews – Tools for employees to take ownership of careers – People related training and reskilling, risk assessments, action plans and compliance – Manager and employee wellbeing training – Wellbeing material available to managers and employees via CCEP platforms to support our employees – Human Rights Policy – Clear agreements govern the relationships – Incidence pricing agreement with TCCC – Aligned long range planning and annual business planning processes – Ongoing pan-European and local routines between CCEP and franchise partners – Increased frequency of meetings and maintenance of positive relationships at all levels – Regular contact and best practice sharing across the Coca-Cola system – Improve visibility and ways of working with TCCC – TCCC standards and audits – Hygiene regimes at production facilities – Total quality management programme – Robust management systems – ISO certification – Internal governance audits – Quality monitoring programme – Customer and consumer monitoring and feedback – Incident management and crisis resolution – Every CCEP production facility has: Internal control procedures and risk management CCEP’s internal controls are designed to manage rather than eliminate risk, and aim to provide good but not absolute assurance against misstatement.

The Directors have made this assessment over a period of three years, which corresponds to the Group’s planning cycle. The assessment considered the Group’s prospects related to revenue, operating profit, EBITDA and free cash flow. The Directors considered the maturity dates for the Group’s debt obligations and its access to public and private debt markets, including its committed multi currency credit facility. The Directors also carried out a robust review and analysis of the principal risks facing the Group, including those risks that could materially and adversely affect the Group’s business model, future performance, solvency and liquidity. Stress testing was performed on a number of scenarios, including different estimates for operating income and free cash flow. Among other considerations, these scenarios incorporated the potential downside impact of the Group’s principal risks, including those related to: – Continued or new COVID-19 related restrictions and the impact on the AFH channel – Legal and regulatory intervention, including in relation to plastic packaging – Risk of cyber and social engineering attacks – Adverse changes in relationships with large customers – Severe weather events Based on the Group’s current financial position, stable cash generation and access to liquidity, the Directors concluded that the Group is well positioned to manage principal risks and potential downside impacts of such risks materialising, to ensure solvency and liquidity over the assessment period. From a qualitative perspective, the Directors also took into consideration the Group’s past experience of managing through adverse conditions and the Group’s strong relationship and position within the Coca-Cola system. The Directors considered the extreme measures the Group could take in the event of a crisis, including decreasing or stopping non-essential capital investment, decreasing or stopping shareholder dividends, renegotiating commercial terms with customers and suppliers or selling non-essential assets. Based upon the assessment performed, the Directors confirm that they have a reasonable expectation the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet all liabilities as they fall due over the three year period covered by this assessment.

We make, move and sell some of the world’s most loved brands – serving 600 million consumers and helping 1.75 million customers across 29 countries grow. We combine the strength and scale of a large, multi-national business with an expert, local knowledge of the customers we serve and communities we support. On 10 May 2021, Coca-Cola European Partners plc (Legacy CCEP) acquired Coca-Cola Amatil Limited (referred to as CCL pre acquisition, and API post acquisition), and subsequently changed its name to Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (the Company, or Parent Company). CCL was one of the largest bottlers and distributors of ready to drink non- alcoholic and alcoholic beverages and coffee in the Asia Pacific region and was the authorised bottler and distributor of The Coca-Cola Company’s (TCCC) beverage brands in Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. In November 2020, CCEP and CCL entered into a binding Scheme Implementation Deed (the Scheme) for the acquisition of 69.2% of the entire existing issued share capital of CCL, which was held by shareholders other than TCCC. CCEP also entered into a Co-operation and Sale Deed with TCCC with respect to the acquisition of TCCC’s 30.8% interest in CCL (the Co-operation agreement), conditional upon the implementation of the Scheme. During the first half of 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CCL. Shareholders other than TCCC received A$13.32 per share in cash, totalling cash consideration paid of A$6,673 million. TCCC received A$9.39 and A$10.57 per share for 10.8% and 20%, respectively, of the remaining CCL shares held by TCCC. Cash consideration paid to TCCC was A$893 million and USD1,046 million. The fair value of the consideration transferred at the acquisition date was €5,752 million. The Acquisition has allowed us to bring together two great companies. In doing so, we’ll be able to go further and faster in pursuing our shared vision for growth, through our consumer led portfolio, collaborative customer relationships and innovation to meet changing consumer needs. Note regarding the presentation of pro forma financial information and alternative performance measures Pro forma financial information Pro forma financial information has been provided in order to illustrate the effects of the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited (referred to as CCL pre acquisition, API post acquisition) on the results of operations of CCEP and allow for greater comparability of the results of the combined group between periods. The pro forma financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and because of its nature, addresses a hypothetical situation. It is based on information and assumptions that CCEP believes are reasonable, including assumptions as at 1 January 2021 and 1 January 2020 relating to acquisition accounting provisional fair values of API assets and liabilities which are assumed to be equivalent to those that have been provisionally determined as of the acquisition date and included in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, on a constant currency basis. The pro forma information also assumes the interest impact of additional debt financing reflecting the actual weighted average interest rate for acquisition financing of c.0.40% for all periods presented. Acquisition costs included in 2020 pro forma financial information are assumed to be equivalent to those incurred in 2021. The pro forma financial information does not intend to represent what CCEP’s results of operations actually would have been if the acquisition had been completed on the dates indicated, nor does it intend to represent, predict or estimate the results of operations for any future period or financial position at any future date. In addition, it does not reflect ongoing cost savings that CCEP expects to achieve as a result of the acquisition or the costs necessary to achieve these cost savings or synergies. As pro forma information is prepared to illustrate retrospectively the effects of future transactions, there are limitations that are inherent to the nature of pro forma information. As such, had the acquisition taken place on the dates assumed, the actual effects would not necessarily have been the same as those presented in the pro forma financial information contained herein. Alternative performance measures We use certain alternative performance measures (non-GAAP performance measures) to make financial, operating and planning decisions and to evaluate and report performance. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors and as such, where clearly identified, we have included certain alternative performance measures in this document to allow investors to better analyse our business performance and allow for greater comparability. To do so, we have excluded items affecting the comparability of period-over-period financial performance as described below. The alternative performance measures included herein should be read in conjunction with and do not replace the directly reconcilable GAAP measures. For purposes of this document, the following terms are defined: ‘As reported’ are results extracted from our consolidated financial statements. ‘Pro forma’ includes the results of CCEP and API as if the Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, including acquisition accounting adjustments relating to provisional fair values. Pro forma also includes impact of the additional debt financing costs incurred by CCEP in connection with the Acquisition for all periods presented. ‘Comparable’ is defined as results excluding items impacting comparability, which include restructuring charges, acquisition and integration related costs, inventory fair value step up related to acquisition accounting, the impact of the closure of the GB defined benefit pension scheme, net costs related to European flooding and net tax items relating to rate and law changes. Comparable volume is also adjusted for selling days. ‘Pro forma comparable’ is defined as the pro forma results excluding items impacting comparability, as described above. ‘Fx neutral’ is defined as period results excluding the impact of foreign exchange rate changes. Foreign exchange impact is calculated by recasting current year results at prior year exchange rates. ‘Capex’ or ‘Capital expenditures’ is defined as purchases of property, plant and equipment and capitalised software, plus payments of principal on lease obligations, less proceeds from disposals of property, plant and equipment. Capex is used as a measure to ensure that cash spending on capital investment is in line with the Group’s overall strategy for the use of cash. ‘Free cash flow’ is defined as net cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures (as defined above) and interest paid. Free cash flow is used as a measure of the Group’s cash generation from operating activities, taking into account investments in property, plant and equipment and non-discretionary lease and interest payments. Free cash flow is not intended to represent residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. Further, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs, and although depreciation and amortisation are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortised are likely to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements. ‘Net Debt’ is defined as the net of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments less borrowings and adjusted for the fair value of hedging instruments related to borrowings and other financial assets/liabilities related to borrowings. We believe that reporting net debt is useful as it reflects a metric used by the Group to assess cash management and leverage. In addition, the ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA is used by investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to analyse our operating performance in the context of targeted financial leverage. ‘ROIC’ or ‘Return on invested capital’ is defined as comparable operating profit after tax attributable to shareholders divided by the average of opening and closing invested capital for the year. Invested capital is calculated as the addition of borrowings and equity attributable to shareholders less cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. ROIC is used as a measure of capital efficiency and reflects how well the Group generates comparable operating profit relative to the capital invested in the business. ‘Dividend payout ratio’ is defined as dividends as a proportion of comparable profit after tax. Unless otherwise stated, percent amounts are rounded to the nearest 0.5%.

Financial highlights During 2021, we successfully acquired Coca-Cola Amatil, while delivering our growth objectives for revenue, profit, and diluted earnings per share. As we worked to integrate our business in 2021, solid top line recovery, value share gains, operating margin expansion and strong free cash flow generation demonstrated the resilience of our business in a challenging environment. These results were driven by our focus on core brands, in-market execution and effective revenue growth management initiatives. Additionally, 2021 was marked by a strong recovery following the impact of the pandemic on our business in 2020. We grew volume and revenue per unit case, benefitted from ongoing efficiency programmes and continued to focus efforts on discretionary spend optimisation, successfully offsetting higher concentrate costs, commodity inflation and adverse cost of sales mix. This enabled us to continue to return cash to shareholders, as demonstrated by the dividend paid in December. The net impact of the Acquisition on our key financial measures can be summarised as follows: – Reported revenue totalled €13.8 billion, up 30.0% on a reported basis and 7.5% on a pro forma comparable and Fx neutral basis – Volume increased 23.0% on a reported basis. Pro forma comparable volume increased 4.5% and pro forma comparable and Fx neutral revenue per unit case increased 3.0% – Reported operating profit was €1.5 billion, up 86.5%. Pro forma comparable operating profit was €1.9 billion, up 26.0%, or up 23.5% on a pro forma comparable and Fx neutral basis – Reported diluted earnings per share were €2.15 or €2.83, up 57%, on a comparable basis(A) – Net cash flows from operating activities were €2.1 billion.

On a brand category basis in 2021, Coca-Cola trademark volume increased by 3.5% versus 2020 on a pro forma comparable basis. This increase reflected the growth in Coca-Cola Original Taste and Lights driven by the continued rebound of the away from home channel and strong performance of Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, with volumes ahead of both 2020 (up 8.5%) and 2019 (up 11.5%) supported by our new look, new taste launch.

Energy volumes were up 21.5% versus 2020, or 35.5% versus 2019, reflecting solid distribution in both channels and strong innovation. Schweppes Mixers volume increased by 1.5% versus 2019. Fanta grew volume driven by the continued rebound of the away from home channel. Hydration volume was flat versus 2020 on a pro forma comparable basis. This reflects the delisting of some PET waters in Germany, offset by the growth of Sports category brands in API. (A) A unit case equals approximately 5.678 litres or 24 eight ounce servings, a typical volume measure used in our industry. Volumes were up 23.0% on a reported basis and 23.5% on a comparable basis, driven by the inclusion of API in 2021. Pro forma comparable volume was up 4.5% versus 2020. This reflects the reopening of the away from home channel and increased consumer mobility given the easing of restrictions across most of our markets. The most significant impact was in the away from home channel where pro forma comparable volumes increased by 10.0% compared to 2020. We experienced improvement in volumes reflecting fewer restrictions and the recovery of immediate consumption packages, although the Omicron variant slowed the recovery during the fourth quarter of 2021 with restrictions reintroduced in some markets. Trading in the home channel was stable throughout the year with full year pro forma comparable volume growth of 1.5%, driven by growth in the online channel as well our continued revenue growth management initiatives. From a package perspective, immediate consumption grew across both channels in Europe with volumes up 17.0%. The volume of future consumption packs such as large PET and multipack cans grew during the year, particularly in the home channel. RTD teas, RTD coffees, juices and other drinks volume increased by 10.0% versus 2020 on a pro forma comparable basis. Juice drinks grew volume reflecting the continued rebound of the away from home channel. Capri-Sun volume increased by 16.5% versus 2019, reflecting solid growth in France and Great Britain. Fuze Tea volumes were up 9.5% versus 2019 and the brand continues to grow value share in Europe. Alcohol delivered strong growth in Australia driven by spirits and ready to drink beverages, with volumes up 5.0% versus 2019.

Foreign exchange translation positively impacted revenue growth by 4.5%. The additional increase in revenue was mainly driven by the continued recovery of the away from home channel, as well as increased domestic tourism and cycling soft comparables. The home channel showed solid performance versus 2020. Coca-Cola trademark, Fanta and Monster grew volumes ahead of 2019. Additionally, revenue per case growth was driven by favorable underlying price, alongside positive mix led by the growth in immediate consumption packages, including growth of 39.5% in small glass and 25.0% small PET. Reported revenue in Germany was up 3.0% versus 2020. Volume was impacted mainly by adverse weather in the third quarter and varying levels of restrictions within HoReCa(A) throughout the year, slowing the overall recovery of the away from home channel. The home channel saw continued growth versus prior year. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Fuze Tea grew volume, both above 2019 levels. Additionally, revenue per case growth was driven by positive brand mix from Monster and the delisting of some PET waters, as well as favourable underlying price and positive package mix. On a territory basis in 2021, reported revenue in Iberia was up 15.0% versus 2020. This was mainly driven by an increase in volume due to fewer restrictions and the cycling of soft comparables. Performance saw a strong rebound in the away from home channel, although the Omicron variant slowed the recovery in the fourth quarter as restrictions in HoReCa(A) were reintroduced. This volume increase was partly offset by lower international tourism and an increase of the Spanish VAT rate within the home channel. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Monster grew volume, both above 2019 levels. Additionally, revenue per case growth was positively impacted by package and channel mix given the ongoing recovery of the away from home channel in addition to favourable underlying price. Reported revenue in France was up 6.0% versus 2020. This was mainly driven by an increase in volume due to fewer restrictions and the cycling of soft comparables. The away from home channel recorded a strong rebound, and the home channel showed a continued volume increase led by the growth in immediate consumption packages. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar and Monster continued to grow volume, both above 2019 levels. Additionally, revenue per case growth was supported by positive customer and package mix led by the recovery of the away from home channel as well as increased consumer mobility, including growth of 14.5% in small glass and 22.0% small PET. Reported revenue in the Northern European territories (Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Iceland) was up 3.5% versus 2020. Foreign exchange translation positively impacted revenue growth by 1.5%. The additional increase in revenue was mainly driven by fewer restrictions in the away from home channel in the fourth quarter, partially offset by adverse weather in the third quarter, including the impact of flooding in Belgium in July. Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Monster and Capri-Sun grew volume above 2019 levels. Additionally, revenue per case declined as a result of changes to Norwegian soft drink taxes, offsetting positive package and brand mix, alongside favourable underlying price.

Cost of sales in Europe increased in part due to higher volume, which grew 5.0% versus 2020 on a comparable basis. Cost of sales per unit case increased as well, reflecting increased revenue per unit case driving higher concentrate costs. Commodities have been adverse driven by higher aluminium and PET prices, though solid hedge coverage throughout the year provided protection from some of the market volatility. Mix was adverse driven mainly by strong volume growth in energy and cans, partially offset by the favourable recovery of fixed manufacturing costs given higher volumes. Cost of sales in API also increased reflecting higher volume, which grew 4.0% versus 2020 on a pro forma comparable basis. Operating leverage as well as continued efforts in managing production and logistics costs, offsetting increased labour and fuel costs, resulted in a cost per unit case improvement vs 2020. Throughout the year, efforts were made to navigate significant global supply chain disruptions, which resulted in shipping delays, pallet shortages and upward pressure on freight costs.

Approximately one third of operating expenses are variable in nature. Comparable operating expenses in Europe increased as volumes grew, reflecting the reopening of the away from home channel and increased consumer mobility given the easing of restrictions. To support our customers and the pandemic recovery, we made focused investments in trade marketing expenses (TME). Our business also experienced upward inflationary pressures in areas such as labour and haulage. Continuing efforts on discretionary spend optimisation and progressing our previously announced efficiency programme helped to protect operating profit. Pro forma comparable operating expenses in API reflected higher volumes, partially offset by the benefit of ongoing efficiency programmes and combination benefits. Continuing efforts on discretionary spend optimisation in areas such as trade marketing, travel and meetings as well as labour cost management further contributed to mitigating the increase in our cost base. Restructuring and Acquisition related costs Restructuring charges of €17 million and €136 million were recognised within reported cost of sales and reported operating expenses, respectively, for the year ended 31 December 2021 related principally to the continuation of the Accelerate Competitiveness programme announced in October 2020. This programme relates to initiatives across Europe aimed at improving productivity through the use of technology enabled solutions. Restructuring charges in 2021 include €51 million of severance costs related to productivity initiatives within the commercial organisation in Iberia. Restructuring charges of €62 million and €306 million were recognised within reported cost of sales and reported operating expenses for the year ended 31 December 2020, the majority of which also relate to severance and accelerated depreciation in connection with the Accelerate Competitiveness programme. Charges included costs associated with closure of production sites in Germany and Iberia as well as the closure of five distribution centres and changes in the commercial organisation in Germany. Acquisition and integration related costs of €49 million and €4 million were recognised within reported operating expenses and finance costs, respectively, for the year ended 31 December 2021 associated with the acquisition of CCL. This compares to €14 million of total acquisition related costs recognised during the year ended 31 December 2020. Effective tax rate The reported effective tax rate was 29% and 28% for the years ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, respectively. For the year ended 31 December 2021, the effective tax rate included a €127 million impact related to the revaluation of deferred taxes due to enacted increases in the UK statutory income tax rate from 19% to 25% effective from 1 April 2023, the Netherlands statutory income tax rate from 25% to 25.8% effective from 1 January 2022 and an enacted law change in Indonesia which held its statutory income tax rate at 22% from 1 January 2022, reversing the previously enacted reduction from 22% to 20%. The comparable effective tax rate was 21% and 24% for the years ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, respectively.

(C) In light of the CCL acquisition and in order to provide investors with a more meaningful measure of capital efficiency for 2021, a pro forma ROIC measure has been presented. To derive this pro forma measure, opening borrowings, cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, and equity attributable to shareholders have been extracted from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position as of 31 December 2020 prepared in connection with proposed financing of the CCL acquisition and furnished on Form 6-K on 20 April 2021, and adjusted for any associated acquisition accounting fair value adjustments in the period through to 31 December 2021. These adjustments include an increase in borrowings of €38 million and a decrease in equity attributable to shareholders of €18 million. Liquidity and capital management Liquidity Liquidity risk is actively managed to ensure we have sufficient funds to satisfy our commitments as they fall due. Our sources of capital include, but are not limited to, cash flows from operating activities, public and private issuances of debt securities and bank borrowings. We believe our operating cash flow, cash on hand and available short-term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, scheduled borrowing payments, interest payments, capital expenditures, benefit plan contributions, income tax obligations and dividends to shareholders. Counterparties and instruments used to hold cash and cash equivalents are continuously assessed, with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity. During 2021, subsequent to the Acquisition, the amount available under the Group’s committed multi currency credit facility was increased from €1.5 billion to €1.95 billion. This amount is available for borrowing with a syndicate of 13 banks. This credit facility matures in 2025 and is for general corporate purposes and supporting the Group’s working capital needs. Based on information currently available, there is no indication that the financial institutions participating in this facility would be unable to fulfil their commitments to the Group as at the date of this report. The Group’s current credit facility contains no financial covenants that would impact its liquidity or access to capital. As at 31 December 2021, the Group had no amounts drawn under this credit facility. Net cash flows from operating activities were €2,117 million in 2021, an increase of 42.0%, or €627 million, from €1,490 million in 2020, reflecting the inclusion of API and continued recovery from COVID-19. These cash flows were primarily generated from our operations and included restructuring cash outflows of €205 million. In 2021, we continued to monitor our investment in capital expenditure programmes, given continued uncertainty. Our 2021 capital spend, which includes API from the date of the acquisition, on property, plant and equipment and capitalised software as part of our business capability programme was €446 million, compared to €408 million in 2020. Free cash flow generation for the year was strong totalling €1,460 million, a significant increase relative to our 2020 total of €924 million following strong recovery from the impact of COVID-19 in 2020 and the inclusion of API.

This was driven by new issue proceeds of €4,877 million in connection with the Acquisition, API borrowings of €1,632 million assumed as part of the Acquisition and changes in short-term borrowings of €276 million. This was partially offset by repayments on third party borrowings of €950 million and payments on principal and interest lease obligations of €149 million. New issue proceeds include the following bonds: €800 million 0% Notes due 2025; €700 million 0.5% Notes due 2029; €1,000 million 0.875% Notes due 2033; €750 million 1.5% Notes due 2041; $850 million 0.5% Notes due 2023; $650 million 0.8% Notes due 2024 and $500 million 1.5% Notes due 2027, all issued in May 2021. Repayments of bonds include repayments prior to maturity in June 2021 of $300 million 4.5% Notes due September 2021 and $250 million 3.25% Notes due August 2021. The following bonds were also repaid on maturity during the year: €350 million Floating Rate Notes; A$100 million 4.63% Notes; A$45 million 6.65% Notes; JPY3 billion 2.54% Notes; A$100 million 4.25% Notes and A$30 million 5.95% Notes. Capital management The primary objective of our capital management strategy is to ensure strong ratings and to maintain appropriate capital ratios to support our business and maximise shareholder value. Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by rating agencies. We regularly assess debt and equity capital levels against our stated policy for capital structure. Our capital structure is managed and, as appropriate, adjusted in light of changes in economic conditions and our financial policy. CCEP paid net cash consideration of €5.4 billion to CCL shareholders and funded the Acquisition through a combination of new external borrowings and existing cash increasing our net debt to €11.6 billion as at 31 December 2021, versus €5.7 billion as at December 2020. Refer to Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Acquisition. We do not expect this change in net debt to have a material negative impact on our liquidity or capital resources. Liquidity risk is actively managed to ensure we have sufficient funds to satisfy our commitments as they fall due. Our sources of capital include, but are not limited to, cash flows from operations, public and private issuances of debt securities and bank borrowings. We believe our operating cash flow, cash on hand and available short-term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, scheduled borrowing payments, interest payments, capital expenditures, benefit plan contributions, income tax obligations and dividends to shareholders. Counterparties and instruments used to hold cash and cash equivalents are continuously assessed, with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity. We also have amounts available for borrowing under a €1.95 billion multi-currency credit facility with a syndicate of 13 banks. This credit facility matures in 2025 and is for general corporate purposes and supporting our working capital needs. Our current credit facility contains no financial covenants that would impact our liquidity or access to capital. As at 31 December 2021, we had no amounts drawn under this credit facility.

A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time. (A) Following the acquisition of CCL, Net Debt includes adjustments for the fair value of derivative instruments used to hedge both currency and interest rate risk on the Group’s borrowings. As at 31 December 2020, the Group did not hold interest rate hedging instruments and adjusted Net Debt only for currency impacts. In addition, Net Debt also includes other financial assets/liabilities relating to cash collateral pledged by/to external parties on hedging instruments related to borrowings. (B) Cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2021 includes €45 million of cash in Papua New Guinea Kina. Presently, there are government-imposed currency controls which impact the extent to which the cash held in Papua New Guinea can be converted into foreign currency and remitted for use elsewhere in the Group. (C) Short term investments are term cash deposits held in API with maturity dates when acquired of greater than three months and less than one year. These short term investments are held with counterparties that are continually assessed with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity. Short term term investments as at 31 December 2021 includes €44 million of assets in Papua New Guinea Kina, subject to the same currency controls outlined above. The ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA is used by investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to analyse our operating performance in the context of targeted financial leverage, and so we provide a reconciliation of this measure. Net debt enables investors to see the economic effect of total borrowings, fair value impact of related hedges and other financial assets/liabilities, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments in total. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA after adding back items impacting the comparability of year over year financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. Further, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs and, although depreciation and amortisation are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortised are likely to be replaced in the future and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for such replacements. Net debt to adjusted EBITDA For 2021, we have provided a pro forma calculation for our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio as if the Acquisition had occurred at the beginning of 2021. We believe this calculation allows for a better understanding of our capital position in the context of CCEP. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA has increased in 2021 relative to the adjusted EBITDA in 2020 by €888 million, primarily driven by the inclusion of API. The ratio of net debt to pro forma adjusted EBITDA is 4.3 versus the net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.2 in 2020, reflecting the increase in net debt due to acquisition financing, offset by the increase in pro forma adjusted EBITDA.

For the year ended 31 December 2021, dividend payments totalled €638 million (2020: €386 million). Share buyback In connection with the Company’s share buyback programmes, we returned approximately €130 million to shareholders in 2020.

Sol Daurella, Chairman Dear Shareholder I’m delighted to present to you the corporate governance report for 2021. This year has been an exciting year.

Good governance is aligned to a positive corporate culture and we will embed our strong governance processes across API.

These provide a high level framework for the Company’s affairs, governance and relationship with its stakeholders and its shareholders. The Articles and frequently asked questions about the governance framework are available on the Company’s website at www.cocacolaep.com/about-us/governance. Statement of compliance with the UK Corporate Governance Code We follow the UKCGC on a comply or explain basis. CCEP is not subject to the UKCGC as it has a standard listing of ordinary shares on the Official List. However, we have chosen to comply with the UKCGC where possible and explain areas of non-compliance to demonstrate our commitment to good governance as an integral part of our culture. Save as set out below, CCEP complied with the UKCGC during the year ended 31 December 2021. A copy of the UKCGC is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s (FRC) website: www.frc.org.uk/ directors/corporate-governance-and-stewardship/ uk-corporate-governance-code. Chairman UKCGC provision 9 The Chairman, Sol Daurella, was not considered independent on either her appointment or election, within the meaning of the UKCGC. However, we benefit from her vast knowledge of, and long-term commitment to, the Coca-Cola system and her extensive experience and leadership skills, gained from her roles as director and CEO of large public and private institutions across many different sectors. Annual re-election UKCGC provision 18 Sol Daurella, the Chairman, will not be subject to re-election during her nine year tenure following the completion of the Merger. This recognises the importance of her extensive experience and knowledge of the beverage industry, and the significant shareholding of Olive Partners, S.A. (Olive Partners) in the Company. To provide stability, none of the INEDs were put up for election at an Annual General Meeting (AGM) before the AGM in 2019 when three INEDs were put up for election. At the AGM in 2020, three INEDs were put up for election and three INEDs were put up for re-election. At the AGM in 2021, three additional INEDs were put up for election so that, in total, all nine INEDs were put up for election or re-election (Jan Bennink, John Bryant, Christine Cross, Nathalie Gaveau, Thomas H. Johnson, Dagmar Kollmann, Mark Price, Dessi Temperley and Garry Watts). This arrangement was in place to ensure effective representation of public shareholders and to retain INEDs’ influence over the Company’s strategic direction and operation, following the completion of the Merger. From the 2022 AGM, all INEDs will be subject to annual re-election from the point of their first election at an AGM. Remuneration UKCGC provision 32 The Remuneration Committee is not comprised solely of INEDs, although it is comprised of a majority of INEDs. The Shareholders’ Agreement requires that the Remuneration Committee comprises at least one Director nominated by: – Olive Partners, for as long as it owns at least 15% of the Company – European Refreshments Unlimited Company (ER), a subsidiary of TCCC, for as long as it owns at least 10% of the Company The Remuneration Committee, and its independent Chairman, benefit from the nominated Directors’ extensive understanding of the Group’s market. Remuneration UKCGC provision 33 The Remuneration Committee is not solely responsible for setting the remuneration of the Chairman and CEO. Instead, the Board (excluding any Director whose remuneration is linked to the decision) determines their remuneration, including the Non-executive Directors (NEDs), on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee and following rigorous analysis and debate. To date, the Board has followed all of the Remuneration Committee’s recommendations. Differences between the UKCGC and the Nasdaq corporate governance rules (the Nasdaq Rules) In 2021, CCEP transferred its US stock exchange listing to Nasdaq from the NYSE. The Company is classed as a Foreign Private Issuer (FPI). It is therefore exempt from most of the Nasdaq Rules that apply to domestic US listed companies, because of its voluntary compliance with the UKCGC. However, under the Nasdaq Rules, the Company is required to disclose differences between its corporate governance practices and those followed by domestic US companies listed on Nasdaq. The differences are summarised below. Director independence The Nasdaq Rules require a majority of the Board to be independent. The UKCGC requires at least half of the Board (excluding the Chairman) to be independent. The Nasdaq Rules contain different tests from the UKCGC for determining whether a director is independent. The independence of CCEP’s NEDs is reviewed by the Board on an annual basis, taking into account the guidance contained in the UKCGC and criteria established by the Board. It has determined that a majority of the Board is independent, without explicitly taking into consideration the independence requirements outlined in the Nasdaq Rules. Board Committees CCEP has a number of committees whose purpose and composition are broadly comparable to the requirements of the Nasdaq Rules for domestic US companies. However, other than the Audit Committee, committee members are not all INEDs, although in all cases the majority are. Each committee has its own terms of reference (broadly equivalent to a charter document) which are reviewed annually and can be found on our website at www.cocacolaep.com/about-us/ governance/ committees. A summary of the terms of reference, roles and activities of the Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and the Remuneration Committee can be found in the Committees’ respective reports. The Remuneration Committee’s terms of reference include responsibility for matters relating to remuneration policy, share-based incentive plans, employee benefit plans and implementation of remuneration policy. Audit Committee More information about the Audit Committee is set out in its report, including compliance with the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) of the Nasdaq Rules. The Audit Committee is comprised only of INEDs (complying with the Nasdaq Rules). However, the responsibilities of the Audit Committee (except for applicable mandatory responsibilities under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) follow the UKCGC’s recommendations rather than the Nasdaq Rules, although they are broadly comparable. One of the Nasdaq’s similar requirements for the Audit Committee states that at least one member of the Audit Committee should have accounting or related financial management expertise. The Board has determined that John Bryant, Dagmar Kollmann, Dessi Temperley and Garry Watts possess such expertise and are therefore deemed the audit committee financial experts as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F. It was further determined that none of the Audit Committee members had participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F76 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Corporate governance report CONTINUED Shareholder approval of equity compensation plans The Nasdaq Rules for domestic US companies require that shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions to those plans. CCEP complies with UK requirements that are similar to those of the Nasdaq Rules. However, the Board does not explicitly take into consideration Nasdaq’s detailed definition of “material amendments”. NED meetings The Nasdaq Rules require INEDs to meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent directors are present at least twice a year. The UKCGC requires NEDs to meet without the Chairman present at least once annually to appraise the Chairman’s performance. The NEDs have regular meetings without management present and in 2021, there were two separate meetings of INEDs. Code of Conduct The Nasdaq Rules require relevant domestic US companies to adopt and disclose a code of conduct applicable to all directors, officers and employees. CCEP has a Code of Conduct (CoC) that applies to all Directors and the senior financial officers of the Group. If the Board amends or waives the provisions of the CoC, details of the amendment or waiver will appear on the website. No such waiver or amendment has been made or given to date.  Seewww.ccepcoke.online/code-of-conduct-policy Our CoC applies to all our people. We also expect all third parties who work on our behalf, such as suppliers, vendors, contractors, consultants, distributors and agents, to act in an ethical manner consistent with our CoC and in compliance with our Supplier Guiding Principles. The CoC covers issues such as share dealing, anti-bribery, data protection, environmental regulation, human rights, health, safety, wellbeing and respect for others. It aligns with the UN Global Compact, the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act, the UKCGC, the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the Spanish and Portuguese Criminal Codes and Sapin II. CCEP considers that the CoC and related policies address the Nasdaq Rules on the codes of conduct for relevant domestic US companies. We received no fines for CoC violations in 2021.  SeedetailsofCoCReportingonpage 40 Board leadership and company purpose Role of the Board The Board is primarily responsible for the Group’s strategic plan, risk appetite, systems of internal control and corporate governance policies, to ensure the long-term success of the Group, underpinned by sustainability. To retain control of key decisions and ensure there is a clear division of responsibilities, there is a formal schedule of matters reserved to the Board, which sets out the structure under which the Board manages its responsibilities, and provides guidance on how it discharges its authority and manages its activities. Reserved matters include strategic decisions, approval of annual and long-term business plans, suspension, cessation or abandonment of any material activity of the Group and material acquisitions and disposals. The Board, through the Nomination Committee, assesses and monitors the Group’s culture to ensure it aligns with the Group’s purpose, values and strategy set by the Board.  Readmoreaboutourstrategyonpage 16  SeeourNominationCommittee’sreportonpages 82–85 Stakeholders Stakeholders are important to CCEP and this is recognised by the Board. We use a matrix to help ensure Directors have the right engagement and information to understand stakeholders’ input to our business and our impact on them. This enables the Board to consider stakeholders’ interests in their decision making. Regular engagement with both existing and potential shareholders is important to the Board. On behalf of the Board, our CEO, CFO and the Investor Relations team engage with investors and analysts throughout the year. The Board receives regular updates on the views of shareholders and the Investor Relations programme.  Seeasummaryofourstakeholderengagement on pages 12–15 The terms of reference and remit of the Remuneration Committee include remuneration policy at all levels across the Group aligned with the Company’s long-term strategic goals. The Nomination Committee’s terms of reference and remit include key people issues such as culture, succession planning and diversity. The Chairmen of those committees are responsible for championing, and reporting back to the Board on, these matters and sit on each other’s Committee to ensure seamless coverage of the full range of people matters. The Board also takes the opportunity to engage with our people directly.  ReadmoreintheNominationCommitteereport on pages 82–85 Our people are able to raise any concerns they have, online or by telephone in confidence through Speak Up, CCEP’s whistleblowing hotline. The Audit Committee updates the Board on whistleblowing arrangements, reports and investigations.  ReadmoreintheAuditCommitteereportonpages 87–91 Board activities during the year The Chairman sets the Board agenda, which consists of the following discussion matters: – Updates from the CEO, the CFO and other key senior executives on the business performance and key business initiatives – Governance matters – Strategy – Diversity – Sustainability – Material expenditure and other Group matters The key areas of focus for the Board’s activities and topics discussed during the year are set out in table 1 on page 77. Strategy remained a key focus for the Board. During the year, the Board considered and debated our future strategy focusing on ESG, retail in a post COVID-19 world and growth. The Board also received briefings from management on API integration, digital and sustainability. Training and development Training and development opportunities are regularly provided to Directors to ensure they provide constructive challenge to management. There are regular virtual training sessions for Directors on a wide range of topical areas. The programme for 2021 is set out in table 2 on page 78. Conflicts of interest The UK Companies Act 2006 (the Companies Act), the Articles and the Shareholders’ Agreement allow the Directors to manage situational conflicts (situations where a Director has an interest that conflicts, or may conflict, with our interests). The Nomination Committee considers issues involving potential situational conflicts of interest of Directors. Each Director is required to declare any interests that may give rise to a situational conflict of interest with CCEP on appointment and subsequently as they arise. Directors are required to review and confirm their interests annually. The Board is satisfied that the systems for the reporting of situational conflicts are operating effectively.

While both the Executive Director and NEDs have the same duties and constraints, they have different roles on the Board (see table 3). There is a clear, written division of responsibilities between the Chairman and the CEO. The Board has approved a framework of delegated authority to ensure an appropriate level of Board contribution to, and oversight of, key decisions and the management of daily business that support its long-term sustainable success. This framework has been designed to enable the delivery of the Company’s strategy and is outlined in our governance framework on page 74. The Board delegates certain matters to its Committees. Each of the five Committees has its own written terms of reference, which are reviewed annually. These are available at www.cocacolaep.com/about-us/governance/ committees. The CEO with the ELT manages the day to day business. All decisions are made in accordance with our chart of authority, which defines our decision approval requirements and ensures that all relevant parties are notified of decisions impacting their area of responsibility. The chart of authority was reviewed and updated during the year to ensure that it was fit for purpose and covered API. Board and Committee meetings The Board held six formal meetings during 2021, with additional ad hoc meetings with Board and Committee members held in line with business needs. Directors are expected to attend every meeting. If a Director is unable to attend, the relevant papers are provided to that Director in advance so that comments can be given to the Chairman or Committee Chairman, as applicable, who relays them at the meeting. Afterwards, the Chairman or Committee Chairman, as applicable, also briefs the Director on the matters discussed. Attendance during 2021 is set out in table 4 on page 80. The Chairman attends most Committee meetings. There is cross membership between the Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee. This helps ensure remuneration outcomes align with the underlying performance of CCEP. The Chairman of the Nomination Committee sits on the Remuneration Committee and the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee sits on the Nomination Committee. This reflects CCEP’s joined up approach to investing in and rewarding our people. Cross membership between Committees enables active collaboration and liaison across Committees. At the end of most Board meetings, two sessions are held: one that all Directors attend, without management present, and the other that all NEDs attend, without management or the CEO present. In 2021, there were also two separate meetings of INEDs. Directors may raise any matter they wish for discussion at these sessions. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F79 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Corporate governance report CONTINUED Board support Board meetings are scheduled at least one year in advance, with ad hoc meetings arranged to suit business needs. Prior to COVID-19, meetings were held in a variety of locations, reflecting our engagement with all aspects of our international business. COVID-19 restrictions meant the Directors were only able to meet in person once. The remaining Board and Committee meetings were held virtually. The agenda of Board meetings follow our annual Board programme. This sets out the standing items at each meeting, such as periodic activities (including results and AGM documentation), business plan and the assessment of Board evaluation results. Before the Board meeting, the Chairman, CEO and Company Secretary agree the final agenda. This covers discussion items such as the status of ongoing projects and stakeholder considerations. Comprehensive briefing papers are circulated electronically to all Directors, to allow time to review the matters which are to be discussed. Throughout the year Directors have access to the advice and services of the Company Secretary and independent professional advice, at the Company’s expense. Board paper review In 2021, Independent Audit (IA) carried out an externally facilitated Board paper review. IA does not have any connection with the Board or any individual Director. The Board paper review involved a detailed review of the materials presented to Board and Committee meetings combined with interviewing preparers of papers and the Company Secretarial team. The review produced a detailed proposal with suggestions to improve the format and content of Board papers, along with the Board paper preparation process. Overall, the review confirmed that Board papers work in communicating the core information needed for effective Board oversight but opportunities to strengthen their effectiveness were identified. IA also supported the development of our board papers through a series of advice sessions for the preparers of papers. In 2022, actions will be taken to implement these improvements. Independence of Non-executive Directors The Board reviewed the independence of all the NEDs against the UKCGC and also considered the requirements of SEC Rule 10A-3 in relation to the Audit Committee. It determined that Jan Bennink, John Bryant, Christine Cross, Nathalie Gaveau, Thomas H. Johnson, Dagmar Kollmann, Mark Price, Dessi Temperley and Garry Watts are independent and continue to make effective contributions. The Board recognises that seven of CCEP’s NEDs, including the Chairman, cannot be considered independent. However, they continue to demonstrate effective judgement when carrying out their roles and are clear on their obligations as Directors, including under section 172 of the Companies Act. Our CEO, Damian Gammell, is not considered independent because of his executive responsibilities to the Group. Consequently, the majority of the Board are independent. Composition, succession and evaluation Board diversity and composition The composition of the Board and its Committees is set out in table 4 on page 80. This includes details of appointments and resignations during 2021. As their biographies on pages 66–71 show, our Board members have a range of backgrounds, skills, experiences and nationalities, demonstrating a rich cognitive diversity beyond gender.

Furthermore, the Board considers that it would be appropriate to have 40% female representation overall and will, with its stakeholders, work towards that as a longer term aim.

All Directors appointed by Olive Partners (other than the Chairman), ER nominated Directors Manolo Arroyo and Brian Smith, plus Jan Bennink, John Bryant, Christine Cross, Damian Gammell, Nathalie Gaveau, Thomas H. Johnson, Dagmar Kollmann, Mark Price, Dessi Temperley and Garry Watts will submit themselves for re-election at the 2022 AGM. The Board is confident that each Director will carry on performing their duties effectively and remain committed to CCEP. The NED terms of appointment are available for inspection at the Company’s registered office and at each AGM. Among other matters, these set out the time commitment expected of NEDs. On appointment, the Board took into account the other demands on the time of John Bryant and Manolo Arroyo. The Board is satisfied that the other commitments of all Directors do not interfere with their ability to perform their duties effectively.

Neither Ffion nor IBE has any connection with the Board or any individual Director. The Board effectiveness review involved interviewing each Director, obtaining feedback from non-Board contributors and observing Board and Committee meetings. The review produced comprehensive reports on the Board, each Committee and the Directors, and the Board discussed them in detail. Based on the feedback, a tangible action plan was developed and agreed by the Board. Overall, the Board confirmed that it continued to perform effectively. Board culture, its relationship with senior management and Board support were highly rated but some areas for further improvement were identified. These are set out in table 5. Given the depth and breadth of the 2021 effectiveness review, it was determined that an internal Board evaluation process was appropriate for 2022. This has been recommended to the Board by the Nomination Committee for 2022.

Table 1 on page 84 sets out the matters considered by the Committee during 2021. Further detail is provided in this report. The Committee met five times during the year.  Seedetailsofattendanceatmeetingsonpage 80 Board succession and diversity To oversee and guide the delivery of the Group’s strategy, we continue to focus on maintaining a well balanced Board with the right mix of individuals who bring their wide business knowledge and experience. To support this, we use a matrix of skills required on the Board to support the Group’s future plans, which we review annually. Also, our INED selection criteria, which we keep under review, reflect the importance of selecting candidates who can give voice to stakeholder interests effectively, particularly to help discharge the Board’s duties under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006.  SeeourCriteriafortheselectionofINEDsat www.cocacolaep.com/about-us/governance Diversity on the Board Developing a diverse Board is a key focus. Cognitive diversity is important to good decision making, and we pay particular attention to this in our succession planning. This is driven by diversity of background, including gender and ethnic diversity. It is part of the INED selection criteria and diversity is a key consideration in considering potential INED candidates. In 2021, female representation on the Board remained at 29.4% which was the same level as in 2020. Regrettably, we have not reached the 33% female Board membership target as previously set by the Board and our INED selection criteria. In addition, our INED selection criteria states our ambition to appoint at least one Director from an ethnic minority to the Board, which we have not reached. We take meeting these targets seriously and the Board reviewed the INED selection criteria and targets through the year. We are committed to reaching 33% female Board membership by 2023 and aim to appoint at least one Director from an ethnic minority to the Board. Furthermore, the Board considers that it would be appropriate to have 40% female representation overall and will, with its stakeholders, work towards that as a longer term aim. We know we have more work to do and are committed to reporting on our progress transparently and making our Board more representative, in particular by paying attention to gender and ethnic diversity in our succession planning and pipeline. Our Board level diversity statistics are disclosed in accordance with the Nasdaq Rules in table 2 on page 85.  SeeanoverviewofourDirectors’diversity,skillsand experienceonpage 66 Independent Non-executive Director succession We continue to plan for the managed succession of INEDs so we maintain the right balance of skills and experience on the Board and Committees. We have drawn up INED candidate specifications based on our updated INED selection criteria, our restated diversity targets and the gaps identified through our skills matrix. In 2021, the skills matrix was also updated to reflect Board members’ API business experience and market knowledge. Through our review of the skills matrix, we were able to identify the likely skills that could be lost through Board refreshment. We engaged two external recruitment consultant firms, MWM Consulting and Russell Reynolds Associates, to identify potential INED candidates with the skill set identified while also having in mind the desirability of increasing API territory experience and increasing diversity. From the initial list of potential candidates, a shortlist was identified for interview by members of the Committee, the Chairman and other Board members in 2022. MWM Consulting has no connection with the Board or any individual Director. Russell Reynolds Associates supported some of CCEP’s recruitment activities in the UK and Germany in 2021. It has no other connection to CCEP and has no connection to any individual Director. Appointments during the year John Bryant was appointed to succeed Javier Ferrán with effect from 1 January 2021.

For Europe, we regularly receive data and actionable insights about our people through the people and culture reporting dashboard. Metrics include female leadership headcount, annual voluntary turnover, engagement scores, safety performance and promotion rate. The metrics were chosen based on external benchmarks, best practice, business relevance and availability of accurate data. We are working with management to develop the reporting needed to provide a consistent people and culture reporting dashboard for API. Inclusion, diversity and equity (ID&E) We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where our people feel they can be themselves, be valued and belong as set out in our policy on ID&E. We regularly receive updates on ID&E initiatives and provide challenge and feedback on those actions and initiatives. In 2021, we received updates across CCEP’s five diversity pillars including gender and multi generations with focused briefings from management on culture and heritage, LGBT+ and disability. In October 2021, we conducted a voluntary, anonymous survey focused on ID&E across the majority of our countries to better understand our people’s experience at CCEP.

We considered the results and action plans with management. We were pleased that the results showed strong engagement scores. Our people feel safe at work, excited about the future of CCEP and would recommend CCEP as a great place to work. Results also identified some areas for improvement. We are reassured that management are committed to take action on and improve scores in employee communications, personal growth opportunities and decision making. We operationalise our approach to talent and succession by regularly reviewing employee potential, identifying critical roles, updating succession plans and nurturing emerging leaders. We received updates on the progress of learning and development initiatives and the actions being taken to accelerate our philosophy that “everyone has talent and everyone can grow”. We provided challenge and feedback on those actions and initiatives. We continue to believe that building our leadership capability is a key differentiator for performance.

Garry Watts, Chairman of the Audit Committee Dear Shareholder I am pleased to present the Audit Committee report for 2021. Areas of responsibility The Committee is a key part of CCEP’s governance framework, to which the Board has delegated oversight for key responsibilities. We provide support and advice to the Board on matters set out in our terms of reference, and on other matters at the request of the Board. We’ve detailed our role and responsibilities in our report over the following pages. We carry out our responsibilities in accordance with the UKCGC. CCL integration During 2021, we’ve dedicated significant time to overseeing the smooth integration of API. The Committee has enhanced oversight over this process. We prioritised ensuring day one business continuity and capturing critical functional areas. Since then, the scope of our focus has also included: – progressing purchase price accounting – ensuring readiness for Sarbanes Oxley section 404 (SOX) compliance for the year ending 31 December 2022 – overseeing acquisition accounting matters including impacts to CCEP’s risk profile and on financial reporting – integrating the finance and internal audit functions – revisiting our audit plan to include proposed audits for API’s territories Risk management Our responsibilities include overseeing the Group’s internal control and risk management framework and, supported by our external audit team, monitoring and reviewing the integrity of the Group’s financial statements. COVID-19 continues to present a unique set of challenges. Throughout the pandemic, we’ve worked closely with management and the Board to ensure our internal controls continue to operate effectively and our risk profile remains at an appropriate level. We receive regular reports from the Head of Internal Audit on the progress of our audit plan and from our Chief Compliance Officer who oversees risks. IT and cyber security risk We also oversee CCEP’s business capability and cyber security programme from a risk control perspective. In 2021, John Bryant, who has a finance background and strong track record of operational leadership as well as experience in overseeing information technology, was appointed to the Audit Committee. John will serve as CCEP’s designated INED, engaged in the cyber security strategy process. ESG We have also reviewed the sustainability metrics for capital expenditure proposals, reviewed climate risks as part of the risk management framework discussions, reviewed outputs from sustainability audits conducted and have engaged in learnings to understand the future obligations of reporting and disclosure of ESG matters. New lead audit partner We have a new lead audit partner at EY, our external auditor. Sarah Kokot has replaced Karl Havers and undertook EY’s sixth audit for CCEP in 2021. EY provides robust challenge to management and sound independent assurance on specific financial reporting judgements and the control environment. Outlook Looking forward to 2022, CCEP continues to embrace new digital capabilities and technology. I’ve no doubt cyber security will feature high on our agenda as part of our oversight of business continuity and enterprise risk management (ERM). We will also continue our enhanced supervision over the CCL integration, including SOX compliance, and to give due consideration to climate-risk and ESG-related reporting matters including any relevant consideration with respect to the Group’s financial statements. Committee effectiveness An external evaluation concluded that the Committee continued to operate effectively in 2021 and made certain recommendations for continuous improvement.

The Board has determined that the Audit Committee satisfies these requirements and that all members may each be regarded as an Audit Committee financial expert, as defined in Item 16A of Form 20-F. It was further determined that no Audit Committee member had participated in the preparation of the financial statements of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Matters considered by the Audit Committee during 2021 The Committee met nine times during the year. Reports from the internal and external auditors were presented as standing agenda items, along with reports from senior management on the following topics in the Committee’s remit: Financial reporting, significant financial issues and material judgements As a result of the acquisition of CCL and COVID-19, the Committee met regularly with management to understand and assess the key accounting impacts and considerations for the Group. The Committee met with management prior to each market announcement to consider the significant accounting judgements and estimates made, and their appropriateness. Details regarding the significant reporting matters identified and the related Committee considerations, is set out in table 2 on page 89. For the remaining matters, the Committee agreed with management that the appropriate accounting considerations had been given and the impact of each item was not material to the Group’s financial statements. SeeourViabilitystatementonpage 48 The Committee Chairman reports back at each Board meeting on matters of particular relevance and the Board receives copies of the Committee papers and minutes of meetings. – Accounting and reporting matters – Legal matters – Ethics and compliance matters, including whistleblowing and CoC breaches Committee governance The Committee keeps the Board informed and advised on matters concerning the Group’s financial reporting requirements to ensure that the Board has exercised oversight of the work carried out by management, internal audit and the external auditor.

The Committee considered whether the Group’s position, strategic approach and performance during the year were accurately and consistently portrayed throughout the 2021 Integrated Report. As part of its review, the Committee referred to the management reports it had received and considered during the year, together with the findings and judgements of the internal and external auditors. The estimates and judgements made on the significant financial reporting matters regarding financial statements are summarised in table 2 on page 89. The Committee reviewed these in depth, along with management’s assessment of the Group as a going concern and the statement of long-term viability contained in the Strategic Report. The Committee concluded that they are appropriate and acceptable in light of the risks facing the business and all significant matters brought to the Committee’s attention during the year. The 2021 Integrated Report is, in the opinion of the Committee, fair, balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess CCEP’s performance, business model and strategy. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-FCoca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F89 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Audit Committee report CONTINUED Table 2 Significant reporting matters in relation to financial statements considered by the Audit Committee during 2021 Accounting area Key financial impacts Audit Committee considerations Accounting area Key financial impacts Audit Committee considerations Business combination Total consideration: €5.8 billion Intangible assets: €4.3 billion Goodwill: €2.1 billion Deductions from revenue and sales incentives Total cost of customer marketing programmes in 2021: €4.1 billion Accrual at 31 December 2021: €1.2 billion Tax accounting and reporting 2021 book tax expense: €394 million 2021 cash taxes: €306 million 2021 effective tax rate: 28.5% The Group completed the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil (CCL) on 10 May 2021. The Group has engaged a third party specialist firm to support the required valuation work and significant judgments and estimates have been used to allocate the correct values to the acquired assets and liabilities. The valuation effort has been a large undertaking and the Committee has received and reviewed regular progress updates from management throughout the year. The Committee noted that amounts recorded as at 31 December 2021 are still provisional and will be finalised no later than 9 May 2022. The Group participates in various programmes and arrangements with customers designed to increase the sale of products. Among the programmes are arrangements under which allowances can be earned by customers for attaining agreed upon sales levels or for participating in specific marketing programmes. For customer incentives that must be earned, management must make estimates related to the contractual terms, customer performance and sales volume to determine the total amounts earned. Under IFRS 15, these types of variable consideration are deducted from revenue. There are significant estimates used at each reporting date to ensure an accurate deduction from revenue has been recorded. Actual amounts ultimately paid may be different from these estimates. At each reporting date, the Committee received information regarding the amount of customer marketing spend of the Group along with period end accruals. The Committee also discussed and challenged management on key judgements and estimates applied during the period with a specific focus on the impact of COVID-19 on customer activities and performance. The Group evaluated a number of tax matters during the year, including legislative developments across tax jurisdictions, tax accounting related to the acquisition of CCL, risks related to direct and indirect tax provisions in all jurisdictions, the deferred tax inventory and potential transfer pricing exposure. Throughout the year, the Committee received information from management on the critical aspects of tax matters affecting the Group, considered the information received, and gained an understanding of the level of risk involved with each significant conclusion. The Committee also considered and provided input on the Group’s disclosures regarding tax matters. Asset impairment analysis Franchise intangible assets with indefinite lives: €12 billion Goodwill: €4.6 billion Restructuring accounting Restructuring cost recorded in 2021: €153 million Restructuring provision at 31 December 2021: €103 million The Group performs an annual impairment test of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The testing is performed at a cash generating unit (CGU) level, which for the Group are based on geography and generally represent the individual territories in which the Group operates. The Committee received information from management on the impairment tests performed, focusing on the most critical assumptions such as the terminal growth rate, the discount rate and operating margin, as well as changes from the prior year. The Committee reviewed and challenged sensitivity analyses provided by management to understand the impact of changes in these critical assumptions. The Committee was satisfied with the assumptions utilised by the Group and also considered and reviewed the Group’s disclosures about its impairment testing. During 2020 the Group commenced new restructuring initiatives, including the Accelerate Competitiveness programme aimed at reshaping CCEP using technology to improve productivity. These programmes include the closure of a number of sites across Germany and Iberia. The Committee was regularly updated by management on the nature of such initiatives and key assumptions underpinning the related provision in the financial statements. The Committee reviewed the Group’s restructuring provision balance as at 31 December 2021 and continued to agree that it does not contain significant uncertainty. The Committee was satisfied with the appropriateness of the restructuring accounting during the year and the disclosures included in the financial statements. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-FCoca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F90 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Audit Committee report CONTINUED External audit Effectiveness of the external audit process The Committee has responsibility and oversight of the Group’s relationship with its external auditor, Ernst & Young LLP (EY), and for assessing the effectiveness of the external audit process. EY was appointed as the external auditor in 2016 and the lead audit partner is Sarah Kokot who was appointed following completion of the 2020 Audit. The Committee acknowledges the provisions contained in the UKCGC and the Statutory Audit Services for Large Companies Market Investigation (Mandatory Use of Competitive Tender Processes and Audit Committee Responsibilities) Order 2014 in respect of audit tendering. In light of the factors the Committee considers when making recommendations to the Board and based on their performance and knowledge of the business, the Committee believes that it is in the best interests of shareholders to continue to recommend EY as the external auditor and that a competitive tender process should be conducted no later than 2025. In 2021, the Committee agreed the approach and scope of the audit work to be undertaken by EY for the financial year. It also reviewed EY’s terms of engagement and agreed the appropriate level of fees payable in respect of audit and non-audit services. Seedetailsoftheamountspaidtotheexternalauditorin note 18totheconsolidatedfinancialstatementsonpage 163 EY provided the Committee with regular reports on the status of the audit, its assessment of the agreed areas of audit focus and findings, and conclusions to date. In response to the Acquisition and COVID-19, EY had regular discussions with management to identify the potential business and financial risks for CCEP and ensure that correct accounting treatment was adopted in response. The Committee reviewed the experience and expertise of the audit team, the fulfilment of the agreed audit plan and any variations to it, feedback from the Group’s businesses and the contents of the external audit report. The Committee confirmed its satisfaction with the effectiveness of the external auditor. External auditor independence The continued independence of the external auditor is important for an effective audit. The Committee has developed and implemented policies that govern the use of the external audit firm for non-audit services and limit the nature of the non-audit work that may be undertaken. The external auditor may, only with pre-approval from the Committee, undertake specific work for which its expertise and knowledge of CCEP are important. It is precluded from undertaking any work that may compromise its independence or is otherwise prohibited by any law or regulation. The Committee received a statement of independence from EY in March 2022 confirming that, in its professional judgement, it is independent and has complied with the relevant ethical requirements regarding independence in the provision of its services. The report described EY’s arrangements to identify, manage and safeguard against conflicts of interest. The Committee reviewed the scope of the non-audit services proposed by EY during the year, to ensure there was no impairment of judgement or objectivity, and subsequently monitored the non-audit work performed to ensure it remained within the agreed policy guidelines. It also considered the extent of non-audit services provided to the Group. The Committee determined, based on its evaluation, that the external auditor was independent. Reappointment of the external auditor The Committee has responsibility for making a recommendation to the Board regarding the reappointment of the external auditor. Based on its continued satisfaction with the audit work performed to date and EY’s continued independence, the Committee has recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, that EY be proposed for reappointment by shareholders as the Group’s external auditor at CCEP’s 2022 AGM. Internal audit The internal audit function provides an independent and objective assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s integrated internal control framework, which combines risk management, governance and compliance systems. The internal audit function reports directly to the Audit Committee and comprises approximately 30 full time, professional audit staff based in London, Berlin, Madrid, Sofia and Sydney, with a range of business expertise working across multiple disciplines. The resourcing strategy for the internal audit function was a key focus in the latter part of 2021 driven by the Acquisition and a desire to create an aligned operating model across the Group. Effectiveness of the internal audit function At the start of the year, the Committee reviewed the internal audit plan for 2021 and agreed its scope, budget and resource requirements for the year. Through regular management reports containing key internal audit observations, proposed improvement measures and related timeframes agreed with management, the Committee monitored the effectiveness of the internal audit function against the approved internal audit plan. As the year progressed, amendments were made to incorporate the impact of the Acquisition and also to ensure compatibility of internal audits with prevailing public health guidance in relation to COVID-19 and the continuation from 2020 of remotely conducted audits. The Chief Audit Executive attended the scheduled meetings of the Committee during 2021 to raise any key matters with the Directors. Internal control and risk management The Group depends on robust internal controls and an effective risk management framework to successfully deliver its strategy. The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s internal control systems, which includes its compliance with relevant sections of the UKCGC and the requirements of SOX, specifically sections 302 and 404, as it applies to US FPIs. Effectiveness of the internal control and risk management systems Regular reports were presented to the Committee on the Group’s internal audit assessments of the adequacy and effectiveness of CCEP’s integrated internal control framework, risk management, governance and compliance functions. The Committee was asked to consider the internal control framework and the remediation of any identified control deficiencies during the year. The Committee noted the Group excluded CCL from its evaluation of internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2021 under the guidelines established by the US Securities & Exchange Commission. In 2021, management undertook a top down enterprise risk assessment including business units and functions. This included an assessment of the Group’s risk appetite across identified enterprise risks, to gauge and promote alignment of risk appetite with CCEP’s long range plan. The Committee reviewed the findings, approved changes to the enterprise risk management rankings and concluded that management’s approach to risk and to risk appetite was satisfactory. The Group’s material controls were deemed to be designed and operating effectively during the year.

It is responsible for any ethics and compliance activities, including overseeing the local crime prevention model. It reports to the board of the Iberia BU and the Chief Compliance Officer. There were no whistleblowing matters that required Committee or Board attention in 2021. Garry Watts, Chairman of the Audit Committee 15 March 2022 Raising concerns In each of our territories, we have established ways for our people to raise concerns in relation to possible wrongdoing in financial reporting, suspected misconduct, or other potential breaches of our CoC. These include options to contact a line manager, or people and culture representative, in confidence, or to share information through our dedicated, independent and confidential “Speak Up” channels. The Committee is responsible for reviewing the adequacy and security of these arrangements and ensuring they allow appropriate follow up action. In accordance with our CoC, retaliation against anyone for making a genuine report, or for cooperating in an investigation, is prohibited. The Committee receives and considers reports from management regarding concerns raised by our people and provides the Board with key information for its consideration as appropriate. Investigations into potential breaches of our CoC are overseen in each BU by the BU’s CoC committee, chaired by the BU’s Vice President, Legal. All potential CoC breaches and corrective actions are overseen by the Group CoC committee, which is a sub committee of the Group compliance and risk committee and is chaired by the Chief Compliance Officer. The Group CoC committee also: – Ensures that all reported breaches have been recorded, investigated in a timely manner and a conclusion reached – Evaluates trends – Ensures consistent application of the CoC across CCEP Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-FCoca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F92 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Statement from the Remuneration Committee Chairman Remuneration decisions during 2021 recognise the strong underlying performance of the business in the context of the successful acquisition of CCL and ongoing impact of COVID-19. Christine Cross, Chairman of the Remuneration Committee Dear Shareholder On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Directors’ Remuneration Report for CCEP (the Group) for the year ended 31 December 2021. This includes a summary of our remuneration policy (page 94) which was approved by over 99% of our shareholders at the 2020 AGM and our Annual report on remuneration (ARR), which sets out how we implemented the policy during 2021 and how we intend to do so in 2022. This will be subject to an advisory vote at our 2022 AGM. Continued resilience in the face of COVID-19 and the ongoing successful integration of Coca-Cola Amatil (CCL) 2021 has again been a remarkable year for CCEP. While continuing to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic, our business has demonstrated great resilience and an ability to operate with agility in a rapidly changing environment, while also completing in May 2021 the acquisition of CCL and becoming Coca-Cola Europacific Partners – solidify our position as the largest Coca-Cola bottler by revenue and creating a platform for accelerated growth and returns. Throughout this we have continued to prioritise the wellbeing and safety of our people and the continuity of service to our customers. To build on the engagement of our people, we have introduced platforms across our geographies to enable them to connect with our leadership. We again implemented salary increases for the vast majority of our employees in 2021. Incentive schemes for front line workers remained in place and continued to pay out. In addition, to recognise the continued engagement and commitment of our people during these challenging times, in December 2021 we made a one-off extraordinary COVID-19 recognition payment to three quarters of our employees across the business. In our developed markets, the value of this payment was c.€500 per employee. Senior levels of management did not receive this payment, but continued to be recognised through the strong performance of the 2021 Annual Bonus plan. In respect of business performance, despite the ongoing impact of COVID-19 we delivered resilient and strong performance, which is reflected in our financial and sustainability performance indicators. SeeourPerformanceindicatorsonpages 2–3 As highlighted by our CEO in this report, CCEP’s performance in 2021 demonstrated solid top line recovery, value share gains, operating margin expansion and remarkable free cash flow generation, solidifying our FY21 position as the largest FMCG value creator. In 2021, we created over €13 billion in value for our retail customers, while continuing to make progress on our ambition to reach net zero emissions by 2040, reinforced by the sustainability metric introduced into our Long-term Incentive Plan in 2020. Remuneration outcomes for 2021 Annual Bonus Following the completion of the acquisition of CCL in May, the Committee considered it appropriate that the incentive targets for the annual bonus should be reflective of the ambitions of the combined business. This ensured that management were incentivised on delivering performance for the overall Group for the remainder of the year. The annual performance targets were therefore adjusted to reflect the annual business plan of the combined business and were set in a manner so that the revised targets were no easier or harder to achieve than the original targets set. The strong overall business performance outlined above has been reflected through the annual bonus with performance against all three financial metrics being above target. Comparable operating profit and revenue increased year on year by 49% and 30% respectively and the maximum target for Operating Free Cash flow was exceeded. This has resulted in an overall Business Performance Factor (BPF) of 168% of target being achieved. The strong business performance is also a reflection of the exceptional leadership of Damian Gammell throughout 2021 which resulted in a maximum Individual Performance Factor (IPF) of 1.2x being awarded to him. The final bonus payment to the CEO was 84% of maximum. Further details are provided on pages 96–97 of the ARR. 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan The 2019 LTIP award, granted in March 2019, was subject to EPS and ROIC performance targets over the three year period to 31 December 2021. Around 240 senior executives and management participated in the scheme, including the CEO. Based on the performance delivered by the business in 2019 prior to the impact of COVID-19 in 2020, the award was on track to vest. However, due to the effects of the global pandemic the original stretching performance targets could no longer be met over the full three year period and the formulaic result was zero vesting. For the Remuneration Committee, a critical objective continues to be to ensure that remuneration outcomes for our people continue to reflect our underlying philosophy of delivering outcomes which align with business performance (in the context of COVID-19) and appropriately reflect the experiences of shareholders and wider stakeholders, while also continuing to act as an incentive to engage our people to deliver the best possible results.

At the same time, in line with best practice, our schemes all include discretionary provisions which allow the Committee to adjust the formulaic result to ensure that the outcome delivered to participants is a fair and appropriate reflection of performance over the period. price performance and the delivery of a record dividend over the period, the Committee exercised discretion to determine a final vesting level below target of 45% of maximum. The Committee concluded that this fairly reflected overall performance over the three year period and recognised the challenges to performance presented by the global pandemic in 2020. This outcome was applied consistently to all 240 participants, including the CEO. The Committee has used these discretionary provisions to reduce incentive outcomes below the formulaic result in two of the four financial years since CCEP’s listing, and to increase incentive outcomes only once (under the 2018 LTIP, as reported last year, to fairly reward performance through the global pandemic). In respect of the 2019 LTIP, the Committee has again exercised discretion to ensure the outcome provided a fairer reflection of performance delivered. This required an upward adjustment to the formulaic outcomes. Given the strong overall performance during the performance period and the unanticipated impact of the pandemic being largely outside management’s control, and following a consistent approach to assessing performance in the prior LTIP performance period, the Committee decided to undertake a holistic assessment of overall performance over the three year period to determine an appropriate vesting level for all participants. The Committee took into account a wide range of performance reference points including financial performance, returns to shareholders, the stakeholder experience, and our sustainability achievements (as disclosed in detail on page 99 of the ARR). Taking into account the overall performance of the business over the three year performance period, and the growth and delivery of the business as we enter 2022 including share While the Committee believes this is the right thing to do in respect of the participants of these incentive programmes, we recognise it is relatively unusual and have therefore set out our thinking in detail on pages 98–99 of the ARR. This fulsome disclosure also reflects the feedback we received from shareholders and proxy advisors we consulted in 2021 on the principle of applying discretion to these incentive outcomes. Amatil acquisition As a result of the acquisition of CCL, during 2021 the Committee made a number of adjustments to our incentive awards: 2020-22 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP): revised financial targets were set following the acquisition of CCL to be aligned with the long-term business plan for the combined business and to take into account external forecasts and changes to the wider macroeconomic environment since the targets were set. Further details are provided on page 100 of the ARR. 2021-23 LTIP: awards were delayed from March until September 2021 to enable targets to be set for the combined business. Targets were set at stretching levels and on the same basis as in prior years, taking into account both our long-term plan and external forecasts. Implementation of remuneration policy in 2022 Despite the continuing challenges of COVID-19 we consider that our overall remuneration framework remains fit for purpose and will implement our remuneration policy broadly unchanged for 2022 (see page 105 for further details), with appropriate integration for our colleagues across our Australia, Pacific and Indonesia (API) business. The Committee has approved a 3.25% salary increase for Damian Gammell, effective 1 April 2022, in line with the merit increase for the wider UK workforce. The structure of the 2022 annual bonus will be unchanged from last year, with the business performance element being based on stretching performance targets for operating profit, revenue, and operating cash flow. For Damian Gammell, his individual element will be assessed against a number of areas of focus which are aligned to the key longer-term objectives of the business, which include: Platform for Growth; Future-ready Culture; Green and Stakeholder Focused Future; and API Integration. See page 105 of the ARR for further detail. The 2022 LTIP award will continue to be based on a mix of EPS, ROIC, and CO2 reduction, unchanged from last year. Given the significant market uncertainty caused by the current geopolitical situation, the Committee determined that it would be appropriate to delay setting the targets for this award until later in the year. It is the current intention that the targets will be confirmed within the next six months and disclosed at that point (as well as in next year’s remuneration report). Looking ahead At our 2023 AGM we will be seeking shareholder support for our next Remuneration Policy. I look forward to engaging with our major shareholders on our proposals during the course of this year. We recognise that the circumstances of the CCL acquisition and the global pandemic has again resulted in a number of important decisions in respect of our incentives this year and we therefore again will proactively engage with major shareholders in advance of the AGM. We believe the decisions are fair and the right ones for both management and shareholders but always welcome feedback and hope we can rely on your support at our forthcoming AGM.

In line with good practice, however, the Committee undertook a holistic assessment of performance over the full three year performance period to consider the extent to which any discretion should be exercised in respect of the final vesting level for all LTIP participants, including the CEO. The factors considered included: – Overall business performance – The shareholder experience of the performance period – The successful acquisition and integration of CCL – The wider workforce and other stakeholders experience over the performance period – The continued focus and delivery of our sustainability agenda Based on this analysis, which is set out in detail below, the Committee considered it appropriate to exercise discretion in respect of the LTIP vesting level to recognise the strong overall performance of the management team over the period, despite the significant challenges being faced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which were outside management’s control. Taking all these factors into account a below target vesting level of 45% of maximum was determined, which will apply to all participants, including the CEO.

Relative importance of spend on pay The table below shows a summary of distributions to shareholders by way of dividends and share buyback as well as total employee expenditure for 2020 and 2021, along with the percentage change of each. Total employee expenditure Dividends Share buybacks(A) 2021 €2,016m €638m – 2020 % change €1,655m €386m €129m 21.8% 65.3% (100%) (A) Decrease in share buybacks reflects suspension of programme in March 2020 to keep CCEP well positioned and preserve maximum flexibility during the COVID-19 pandemic. CEO pay ratio The table below shows the ratio of the CEO’s single figure of remuneration for 2021 to the 25th percentile, median and 75th percentile total remuneration of full time equivalent GB employees. The ratio is heavily influenced by the fact that the CEO participates in the LTIP. If the LTIP is excluded from the calculation then the median ratio would be 103:1. The main reason for the increase in the ratio from 2020 to 2021 is the CEO’s higher bonus and LTIP value in 2021, and conversely for the change from 2019 to 2020. Year 2021 2020(D) 2019 25th percentile Median 75th percentile Method ratio(A) ratio(B) ratio(C) Option B 221:1 175:1 250:1 162:1 105:1 169:1 92:1 83:1 111:1 (A) The individual used in this calculation received total pay and benefits of £35,000 (of which £31,000 was salary). (B) The individual used in this calculation received total pay and benefits of £47,000 (of which £37,000 was salary). (C) The individual used in this calculation received total pay and benefits of £83,000 (of which £49,000 was salary). (D) Figures updated to reflect final LTIP vesting value as disclosed in the single figure table. The Committee has chosen Option B (hourly gender pay gap information as at 5 April 2021) to determine the ratios, as that data was already available and provides a clear methodology to calculate full time equivalent earnings. No component of pay and benefits has been omitted for the purposes of the calculations. The Committee is satisfied that the individuals whose remuneration is used in the above calculations are reasonably representative of employees at the three percentile points, having also reviewed the remuneration for individuals immediately above and below each of these points and noted that the spread of ratios was acceptable. No adjustments were made to the three reference points selected.

CCEP is committed to offering an attractive package for all our employees. Salaries are set with reference to factors such as skills, experience and performance of the individual, as well as market competitiveness. All employees receive a wide range of employee benefits and a large number are eligible for an annual bonus. Our LTIP is designed to link remuneration to the delivery of long-term strategic objectives and therefore participation is typically offered to senior employees who have the ability to influence these outcomes. The 25th percentile, median and 75th percentile employees identified in the above calculation do not participate in the LTIP. As the CEO participates in the LTIP, the ratio will be influenced by vesting outcomes and will likely vary year on year. Statement of Directors’ share ownership and share interests (audited) Interests of the CEO The CEO is required to hold 300% of his base salary in Shares. The guideline is expected to be met within five years of appointment. Until the guideline is met, 50% of any vested Shares from incentive awards (after tax) must be retained. The guideline continues to apply for one year following termination of employment. Share ownership requirements and the number of Shares held by Damian Gammell are set out in the table below. Payments to past Directors (audited) There were no payments to past Directors during the year. Payments for loss of office (audited) There were no payments for loss of office during the year.

Annual bonus No changes have been made to the structure of the annual bonus plan for 2022 and the opportunity for Damian Gammell will remain unchanged at 150% of salary for target performance and 360% for maximum performance.

We intend to disclose them in next year’s ARR. A description of individual performance including specific quantitative measures (where appropriate) will also be disclosed in next year’s ARR. Long-term incentive Damian Gammell’s long-term incentive opportunity for 2022 will be aligned with the limits set out in the remuneration policy. He was granted a target award of 250% of salary on 10 March 2022 and may receive up to two times this target award (163,776 shares) if the maximum performance targets are achieved. The 2022 LTIP award will continue to be based on a mix of EPS, ROIC, and CO2 reduction, unchanged from last year. Given the significant market of uncertainty caused by the current geopolitical situation, the committee determined that it would be appropriate to delay setting the targets for this award until later in the year. It is the current intention that the targets will be confirmed within the next six months and disclosed at that point (as well as in next year’s renumeration report). Following the end of the performance period, awards will be subject to an additional two year holding period.

The Committee is also responsible for setting the remuneration for each member of the ELT reporting to the CEO. Support for the Remuneration Committee Deloitte was appointed by the Remuneration Committee in 2016 following a selection process. During the year, Deloitte provided the Committee with external advice on executive remuneration. Deloitte is a member of the Remuneration Consultants Group and has voluntarily signed up to the Remuneration Consultants’ Code of Conduct relating to executive remuneration consulting in the UK. The Committee is satisfied that the engagement partner and team that provide advice to the Committee do not have connections with CCEP or individual Directors that may impair their independence. During 2021, the wider Deloitte firm also provided CCEP with unrelated tax (including employment tax), digital transformation, access security and consultancy services. Total fees received by Deloitte in relation to the remuneration advice provided to the Committee during the year amounted to £74,150 based on the required time commitment.

The Committee formally met six times during the year, with one additional ad hoc meeting in line with business needs. Attendance is set out in the table on page 80 of the Corporate governance report. As described in the remuneration policy, the Committee receives an annual report in respect of wider workforce remuneration including pay and reward policies, which informs its decisions on executive pay. The Committee does not engage directly with employees on the issue of executive pay, however, within CCEP, employee groups are regularly consulted about matters affecting employees including our strategy, Company performance, culture and approach to reward, and this feedback informs decisions on people matters and other activities.

However, there may be uncertainty as to whether some normal business activities fall under the wide definitions of political donations, organisations and expenditure used in the Companies Act. We will therefore continue to seek shareholder approval to make political donations or incur expenditure as a precaution to avoid any inadvertent breach of the Companies Act. Shares Rights and obligations The rights and obligations relating to the Company’s Shares (in addition to those set out by law) are contained in the Articles. Restrictions on transfer of securities Olive Partners and TCCC are both subject to certain restrictions relating to the acquisition or disposal of Shares under the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement. Other than those set out in the Shareholders’ Agreement, we are not aware of any agreements between shareholders that may result in a restriction of the transfer of securities or voting rights in the Company. Employee share schemes Shares issued under the Company’s employee share schemes rank pari passu with the existing Shares of the Company. Voting rights attached to Shares held on trust on behalf of participants in the GB Employee Share Plan are exercised by the trustee as directed by the participants. Significant shareholdings In accordance with DTR 5.8, table 2 shows the significant interests in Shares of which the Company has been notified as at 31 December 2021, and the date of this report. The shareholders identified have the same voting rights as all other shareholders. Share buyback programme The Company announced a share buyback programme on 13 February 2020, under which it proposed to reduce share capital by up to €1 billion through the purchase and cancellation of its own Shares (the Buyback Programme). Share purchases for the Buyback Programme were undertaken pursuant to shareholder authority granted at the 2019 AGM. In light of the significant and unprecedented macroeconomic uncertainty brought about by the outbreak of COVID-19, on 23 March 2020, the Company announced a suspension of the Buyback Programme. To maintain flexibility, the shareholder authority to purchase Shares was renewed at the 2021 AGM, under which the Company may purchase up to 45,528,556 Shares, representing 10% of the Company’s issued share capital at 12 April 2021, reduced by the number of Shares purchased or agreed to be purchased between 12 April and 26 May 2021. No Shares were purchased under this authority in 2021. We intend to seek to renew the authority to purchase Shares at the 2022 AGM.

The Board considers that a change of control might have an impact on the following significant agreements: – Bottling agreements between the Group and TCCC – A bank credit facility agreement, under which the maximum amount available at 31 December 2021 was €1.95 billion Research and development The Company invests in and undertakes certain activities for the development of innovative solutions, digital capabilities and advanced analytics to drive the simplification of applications and platforms, and to support and grow its business in both its manufacturing and non-manufacturing operations. Independent auditor Disclosure of information to auditors Each of the Directors in office as at the date of this Integrated Report, confirms that: – so far as he or she is aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by section 418 of the Companies Act) of which the Company’s auditor is unaware; and – he or she has taken all the reasonable steps that he or she ought to have taken as a Director to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s auditor is aware of that information. Auditor reappointment EY has expressed willingness to continue in its capacity as independent auditor of the Company. The Directors plan to recommend a resolution to reappoint EY at the next AGM. Going concern As part of the Directors’ consideration of the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors have taken into account the Group’s current cash position and its access to a €1.95 billion undrawn committed credit facility. The Directors have also considered the stress testing performed as part of the assessment of viability set out on page 48. On this basis, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these accounts. This Directors’ Report has been approved by the Board and signed on its behalf by Clare Wardle, Company Secretary 15 March 2022 Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc 09717350 Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F111 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Other Information Directors’ responsibilities statement Responsibility for preparing financial statements The Directors are responsible for preparing the Integrated Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom (UK) law and regulations.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Group and Parent in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided to the Group or the Parent Company and we remain independent of the Group and the Parent Company in conducting the audit. Opinion In our opinion: • Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc’s Group financial statements and Parent Company financial statements (the “financial statements”) give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the Parent Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2021, of the Group’s profit and the Parent Company’s loss for the year then ended; • The Group and Parent Company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’); and • The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. We have audited the financial statements of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (the ‘Parent Company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise: Group Consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021 Consolidated income statement for the year then ended Consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended Consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended Parent Company Statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021 Statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended Statement of changes in equity for the year then ended Statement of cash flows for the year then ended Consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended Related notes 1 to 12 to the financial statements including a summary of significant accounting policies Related notes 1 to 28 to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law, U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.

Our evaluation of the Directors’ assessment of the Group and Parent Company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included: • In conjunction with our walkthrough of the Group’s financial close process, we confirmed our understanding of management’s going concern assessment process. • We obtained management’s going concern assessment, including the cash forecast for the going concern period which covers a year from the date of signing this audit opinion, and considered significant events falling due shortly after. The Group has modelled downside scenarios in their liquidity forecasts in order to incorporate unexpected changes to the forecasted liquidity of the Group. We understood the factors and assumptions included in each modelled downside scenario and assessed the plausibility of these in the context of our understanding of the Group and its principal risks. • We tested the clerical accuracy of the model used to prepare the Group’s going concern assessment. • We considered the appropriateness of the methods used to calculate the cash forecasts and determined through inspection and testing of the methodology and calculations that the methods utilised were appropriate. • We confirmed the cash and cash equivalents balance of €1.4 billion as at 31 December 2021 and verified the cashflows from operating activities of €2.1 billion in the year. We obtained evidence of the Group’s €1.95 billion revolving credit facility which is available through to August 2025, noting no associated covenants. The facility is undrawn as at 15 March 2022. • We reviewed the debt maturity ladder and concluded that all debt repayments were included in the forecasts. We also checked that the Group is forecast to have sufficient liquidity to repay debt which matures in the 12 months after the going concern period. • We considered whether the Group’s forecasts used in the going concern assessment were consistent with other forecasts used by the Group in its accounting estimates, including those used in the annual impairment test. • We reviewed the Group’s going concern disclosures included in the Directors’ Report on page 110 and Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements on page 134 in order to assess that the disclosures were appropriate and in conformity with the reporting standards. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group and Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. In relation to the Group and Parent Company’s reporting on how they have applied the UK Corporate Governance Code, we have nothing material to add or draw attention to in relation to the directors’ statement in the financial statements about whether the directors considered it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Taken together, this enables us to form an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We take into account size, risk profile, the organisation of the Group and effectiveness of group-wide controls, changes in the business environment and other factors such as recent internal audit results when assessing the level of work to be performed at each company. The table below illustrates the coverage obtained from the work performed by our audit teams. Full scope Specific scope Specified procedures Coverage Remaining components Total Reporting components In assessing the risk of material misstatement to the Group financial statements, and to ensure we had adequate quantitative coverage of significant accounts in the financial statements, of the 63 reporting components of the Group (17 of which are trading components), we selected 22 components covering 7 corporate components and 15 trading components, which represent the principal business units within the Group. Of the 22 components selected, we performed an audit of the complete financial information of seven components (“full scope components”) which were selected based on their size or risk characteristics. For the remaining five specific scope components and ten specified procedures components, we performed audit procedures on specific accounts within that component that we considered had the potential for the greatest impact on the significant accounts in the financial statements either because of the size of these accounts or their risk profile.

(C) The Group audit risk in relation to carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets was subject to audit procedures across the Group performed by the Group audit team. (D) The Group audit risk in relation to accrued customer marketing costs was subject to audit procedures in six full scope components, three specific scope components and specified procedures at two components. (E) The specific scope components relate to three trading components. (F) The audit scope of these components may not have included testing of all significant accounts of the component but will have contributed to the coverage of significant accounts tested for the Group. Significant accounts that were not subject to the specific or specified procedures scope audit were subjected to testing of Group-wide controls and analytical review. (G) Of the remaining 41 components that together represent (5)% of the Group’s adjusted profit before tax, none are individually greater than 3% of the Group’s adjusted profit before tax. These components primarily record administrative expenses across the Group, thus there is an aggregated (5)% impact on adjusted profit before tax. For the remaining components in this category, we performed other procedures, including testing of Group-wide controls, analytical review procedures, testing of consolidation journals, and intercompany eliminations to respond to any potential risks of material misstatement to the Group financial statements.

The Group has determined that the most significant future impacts from climate change on its operations will be from the increased severity of extreme weather events, regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions, water stress or scarcity and the impact these events could have on the cost or availability of ingredients and future regulations. These are explained on pages 21 to 22 in the Task Force for Climate related Financial Disclosures and on pages 42 to 47 in the principal risks, which form part of the “Other information,” rather than the audited financial statements. Our procedures on these disclosures therefore consisted solely of considering whether they are materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appear to be materially misstated. Our audit effort in considering climate change was focused on the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in the financial statements and conclusion that no issues were identified that would impact the carrying values of assets with indefinite and long lives or have any other impact on the financial statements for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc. We also challenged the Directors’ considerations of climate change in their assessment of going concern and viability and associated disclosures. Changes from the prior year The change in the total number of reporting components from 54 to 63 primarily represents the entities acquired as part of the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited during 2021. For our 2021 audit, we have included one full scope and two specific scope components acquired in 2021. We have not changed the remaining full or specific scope components from the prior year as these components remain the most significant to the Group, by size and risk, and the coverage remains consistent with the prior year. Involvement with component teams In establishing our overall approach to the Group audit, we determined the type of work that needed to be undertaken at each of the components by us, as the Group audit engagement team, or by component auditors from other EY global network firms operating under our instruction. Of the seven full scope components, audit procedures were performed on six of these directly by the component audit teams. For the 15 specific scope and specified procedures components, eight represented work performed directly by component auditors. Where the work was performed by component auditors, we determined the appropriate level of involvement to enable us to determine that sufficient audit evidence had been obtained as a basis for our opinion on the Group as a whole. Sarah Kokot has become senior statutory auditor in the current year, following Karl Havers completing his 5 year rotation. As part of the transition, Sarah had several induction meetings during the planning phase with key members of the Group executive team and the Audit Committee members. The Group audit team continued to follow a programme of planned visits that has been designed to ensure that the Senior Statutory Auditor visited all full scope audit locations at least once in the year, meeting with both EY component teams and local management. During the current year’s audit cycle, visits were scheduled by the Group audit team to the full scope component teams in Great Britain, Australia, France, Belgium, Spain and Germany. For Great Britain and Germany, we were able to complete some of these visits in person, whereas for all other locations our visits were entirely virtual due to the ongoing travel restrictions arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. We were unable to complete these visits in person due to a combination of factors including the direct impact of travel restrictions preventing entry into certain countries and vaccination, testing and quarantine requirements imposed upon arrival or departure. We also virtually visited the team in Bulgaria, which is the shared service centre location, which contributed to the audits of a number of components. Our virtual site visits involved using video technology and our global audit software to meet with our component teams to discuss and direct their audit approach, reviewing relevant working papers and understanding the significant audit findings in response to the risk areas including accrued customer marketing costs and taxation, holding meetings with local management, and obtaining updates on local regulatory matters including tax, pensions, restructuring and legal. The Group audit team virtually attended all component audit closing meetings. The Group audit team interacted regularly with the component teams where appropriate during various stages of the audit, reviewed relevant working papers and were responsible for the scope and direction of the audit process. This, together with the additional procedures performed at Group level, gave us appropriate evidence for our opinion on the Group financial statements.

These matters included those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Risk Accrued customer marketing costs Refer to the Audit Committee Report (page 89); Accounting policies (page 136). The Group participates in various programmes and arrangements with customers referred to as “promotional programmes”, which are recorded as deductions from revenue. These totalled €4.1 billion for the year ended 31 December 2021 (2020: €3.2 billion), with €1,160 million of accrued customer marketing costs as of 31 December 2021 (2020: €775 million). The types of promotional programmes are more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements with details about accrued customer marketing costs disclosed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements. Auditing the completeness and measurement of the accrued customer marketing costs, is complex and judgemental, particularly in relation to promotional programmes where there is estimation uncertainty related to estimated sales volumes or expected customer performance. Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee Accrued customer marketing costs in the consolidated statement of financial position represent a reasonable estimate of the associated liability and the related disclosures included in the financial statements are appropriate. Our response to the risk We performed audit procedures over this matter at eleven reporting components which covered 91% of the Group balance. We obtained an understanding of the Group’s revenue recognition policies and processes and how they are applied, and evaluated the design of controls, including IT controls, that address the risks of material misstatement relating to the completeness and measurement of the promotional programmes. In Europe we also tested the operating effectiveness of these controls. For example, we tested controls over management’s determination of the total estimated sales volumes used in the assessment of the accrued customer marketing costs. In Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia, we performed fully substantive audit procedures. To evaluate the specific estimations that are inherent in the calculation of the accrued customer marketing costs: •We tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data by agreeing key terms of the promotional programmes to the executed sales agreements on a sample basis. We also compared accrued customer marketing costs to subsequent cash settlements on a sample basis. •We performed analytical procedures around per unit case rates to identify any potential outliers and tested material unusual or unexpected journal entries. •We analysed the historical reversals and ageing of the accrued customer marketing costs, to identify potential management bias in the estimate of the year-end accrual and considered any changes in the business environment that would warrant changes in the methodology. •We also evaluated the disclosures provided in the consolidated financial statements related to these promotional programmes. The audit procedures performed to address this risk were performed by both the component teams and the Primary team.

As described in Notes 3 and 4 of the consolidated financial statements, the Group completed the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited on 10 May 2021 for total consideration of €5.8 billion. As a result of the acquisition, the Group measured the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values at the acquisition date. The assets acquired included distribution rights intangibles in Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands valued using a multi-period excess earnings approach (which primarily contributed to the €4.3 billion of acquired intangible assets); and property, plant and equipment valued using a depreciated replacement cost approach (forming part of the €1.6 billion acquired). Auditing the valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities was complex and judgemental with regards to Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands distribution rights and items of property, plant and equipment, due to a higher degree of subjectivity in management’s evaluation of certain assumptions required to estimate the fair value of these assets, being primarily prospective financial information, discount rates and useful economic lives. Our response to the risk We evaluated and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls over the valuation of the acquired assets. For example, we tested controls over management's review of the valuation methodologies and the significant assumptions used to develop the fair value estimates, including prospective financial information, discount rates and useful economic lives. Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee We consider management’s estimates of the fair value of the distribution rights and property, plant and equipment assumed upon acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited to be within an acceptable range. To test the estimated fair values of the distribution rights and property, plant and equipment at the date of the acquisition, we performed sensitivity analyses to determine which assumptions had the greatest impact on the overall determination of value and therefore presented a higher audit risk. We concluded that the disclosures related to the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited are appropriate. We performed additional procedures to test those assumptions. Among other procedures, we: •Involved valuation specialists to assist in our assessment of management’s valuation methodologies and models, and to determine an independent range for the discount rate and useful economic life assumptions. •Assessed the revenue growth rates and operating profit margin within the prospective financial information by comparing management’s assumptions to external sources and historical performance. •Evaluated the competence, capabilities and objectivity of specialists engaged by management to assist in valuing these assets and read their valuation reports to identify corroborating or contradictory evidence to the fair value estimates. We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures related to the acquisition and the purchase price allocation.

At 31 December 2021, the Group recorded provisions for uncertain tax positions. €138 million (31 December 2020: €136 million) are included in current tax liabilities, the remainder being classified as non-current tax liabilities. The Group is subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions and is routinely under audit by taxing authorities in the ordinary course of business as described in Note 21 and Note 23 of the consolidated financial statements. Management applies judgement in assessing tax exposures in each jurisdiction, which requires interpretation of local tax laws and specific facts and circumstances. Auditing the uncertain tax positions was judgemental, because of the inherent uncertainty related to tax exposures, which may result in materially different outcomes. Specifically, each tax position involves the evaluation of unique and evolving facts and circumstances. Our response to the risk We performed audit procedures over this matter at four full scope components and one specific scope component. We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls, including IT controls, in place over the Group’s process to evaluate and account for uncertain tax positions. For example, we tested the Group’s controls around evaluation of the facts and circumstances supporting the conclusions on the Group’s tax positions. We evaluated the tax positions taken by management in each significant jurisdiction in the context of local tax laws, considering correspondence with tax authorities, the status of any tax audits and third-party advice obtained by the Group. Our work involved tax professionals with local knowledge to assess the tax positions taken in each significant jurisdiction in the context of local tax law and significant tax assessments. In evaluating management’s tax provisions, we developed our independent range of tax exposures by jurisdiction, which we compared to the Group’s provisions. We also considered outcomes for similar fact patterns in different jurisdictions with equivalent tax rules and regulations. We evaluated the adequacy of the related disclosures provided in the Group financial statements. The audit procedures performed to address this risk were performed by both the component teams and the Group team. Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee We have evaluated the Group’s tax provisions and challenged the judgements applied. We concluded that the amounts provided for uncertain tax positions are within an acceptable range considering the latest developments in each jurisdiction and the Group’s overall tax exposures and that the related disclosures are appropriate.

At 31 December 2021, the carrying value of the goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles allocated to the Iberia Cash Generating Unit (CGU) was €5,564 million (2020: €5,564 million). As discussed in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements, goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles are tested for impairment at the CGU level at least annually, in the fourth quarter, or whenever there is an indication of impairment. Auditing management’s annual impairment test for the Iberia CGU was judgemental as the calculation of the value in use of the CGU involved estimating the future earnings and cash flows of the CGU, including the expected recovery from COVID-19 during the forecast period. In addition, there is lower headroom between the VIU and the carrying value of the Iberia CGU compared to other CGUs in the Group. Management’s impairment model used to calculate the value in use for the Iberia CGU was most sensitive to the assumptions around discount rate and the prospective financial information, in particular revenue growth rates, operating profit margin and long-term growth rates. We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls, including IT controls, in place within the impairment review process. This included evaluating controls over the Group’s budgetary and forecasting process used to develop the estimated future earnings and cash flows used in estimating the value in use of the Iberia CGU. We also tested controls over management’s data included in the value in use model and their determination of the significant assumptions such as estimation of discount rate, revenue growth rates and operating profit margin. We performed additional procedures to assess and corroborate the key inputs to the valuation, including: •We reviewed the methodology applied by management in performing the impairment test, tested the completeness and accuracy of the data included in the impairment model, reconciled the carrying value to the financial records and agreed the prospective financial information to Board approved business plans. We also involved our internal valuation specialists to assist with the evaluation of the discount rate and long-term growth rate used in the value in use model, by developing an independent range. •We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and forecasts against actual results for indications of management bias and compared the performance since the testing date with the forecasts used in the value in use model. •We compared the revenue growth and operating profit margin included in the five-year cash flow period within the value in use model to external sources of information. •We reperformed management’s sensitivity analysis, determining the breakeven point by evaluating a combination of changes to the revenue and long-term growth rates, the operating profit margin, and discount rate. We also developed our own independent stress test for a delayed recovery from COVID-19. We evaluated the likelihood of the occurrence of those scenarios. We assessed the adequacy of the related disclosures provided in the consolidated financial statements on changes in certain variables that could eliminate existing headroom. The audit procedures to address this risk were mainly performed by the Primary audit team. Key observations communicated to the Audit Committee We consider management’s estimate of Iberia recoverable value to be within an acceptable range and agree with management’s conclusion that there is no impairment at 31 December 2021. The additional sensitivity disclosures in note 7 of the Group financial statements in relation to the Iberia CGU adequately reflect that a reasonably possible change in certain key assumptions in Iberia could lead to a different conclusion in respect of the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. In the current year, we have identified a new key audit matter in relation to Purchase price accounting: Valuation of the distribution rights and property, plant and equipment acquired with Coca-Cola Amatil Limited. This risk arises in the current year following the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited.

Materiality The magnitude of an omission or misstatement that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements. Materiality provides a basis for determining the nature and extent of our audit procedures. We determined materiality for the Group to be €67 million (2020: €56 million), which is 4.7% (2020: 5%) of adjusted profit before tax (2020: normalised profit before taxation). We believe that adjusted profit before taxation provides us with the most relevant performance measure to the stakeholders of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc. We believe that using an adjusted metric provided us with the most relevant profit basis as the non-recurring items were not related to the ongoing trading of the Group. The increase in Group materiality since 2020 reflects the increase in profit before taxation, driven by the inclusion of the results of the Coca-Cola Amatil Limited Group and also the recovery from COVID-19. In the year ended 31 December 2020, we used a normalised measure (by averaging the previous three years of profit), to reflect the volatility in the Group arising from the impact of COVID-19. Given trading has started to return to more normal levels in 2021, we concluded a normalised measure was no longer required. We determined materiality for the Parent Company to be €144.9 million (2020: €151.9 million), which is 1% (2020: 1%) of shareholder’s equity. During the course of our audit, we reassessed initial materiality and the actual adjusted profit before tax was higher than the Group’s initial estimates used at planning. However, due to the status of our procedures we did not change our materiality assessment to reflect this. Starting basis • €1,382 million (profit before tax) Adjustments • €53 million on acquisition related costs Adjusted basis Materiality • €1,435 million (adjusted profit before tax) • Materiality maintained at planning level of €67 million (versus €72 million based on final reported) Performance materiality The application of materiality at the individual account or balance level. It is set at an amount to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality. On the basis of our risk assessments, together with our assessment of the Group’s overall control environment, our judgement was that performance materiality was 75% (2020: 75%) of our planning materiality, namely €50 million (2020: €42 million). We reviewed any misstatements identified in our 2020 Group audit to assess their potential recurrence in 2021 (which would affect the percentage of Group performance materiality we utilised to determine the extent of our audit procedures). Based on the nature of the adjustments identified last year, including those previously identified as part of the Coca-Cola Amatil Limited audit, and the stabilised structure of the finance environment within the Group, we concluded the likelihood of material misstatements would remain low in the current year and, hence, we set performance materiality at 75%. Audit work at component locations for the purpose of obtaining audit coverage over significant financial statement accounts is undertaken based on a percentage of total performance materiality. The performance materiality set for each component is based on the relative scale and risk of the component to the Group as a whole and our assessment of the risk of misstatement at that component. In the current year, the range of performance materiality allocated to components was €10.1 million to €25.2 million (2020: €8.6 million to €21.5 million). Reporting threshold An amount below which identified misstatements are considered as being clearly trivial. We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them all uncorrected audit differences in excess of €3.3 million (2020: €2.8 million), which is set at 5% of planning materiality, as well as differences below that threshold that, in our view, warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. We evaluate any uncorrected misstatements against both the quantitative measures of materiality discussed above and in light of other relevant qualitative considerations in forming our opinion. Other information The other information comprises the information included in the annual report including the Strategic Report set out on pages 2 to 63, Governance and Directors’ report set out on pages 64 to 111, Other Group Information set out on pages 203 to 217, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in this report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, the part of the Directors’ remuneration report to be audited has been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: • the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and • the Strategic Report and the Directors’ Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: • adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or • the Parent Company financial statements and the part of the Directors’ Remuneration Report to be audited are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or • certain disclosures of Directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Corporate governance statement We have reviewed the Directors’ statement in relation to going concern, longer-term viability and that part of the Corporate Governance Statement relating to the Group and Company’s voluntary compliance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code specified for our review by the Listing Rules. Based on the work undertaken as part of our audit, we have concluded that each of the following elements of the Corporate Governance Statement is materially consistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit: • Directors’ statement with regards to the appropriateness of adopting the going concern basis of accounting and any material uncertainties identified set out on page 110; • Directors’ explanation as to its assessment of the company’s prospects, the period this assessment covers and why the period is appropriate set out on page 48; • Director’s statement on whether it has a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meets its liabilities set out on page 110; • Directors’ statement on fair, balanced and understandable set out on page 111; • Board’s confirmation that it has carried out a robust assessment of the emerging and principal risks set out on pages 42-47; • The section of the annual report that describes the review of effectiveness of risk management and internal control systems set out on page 90; and • The section describing the work of the Audit Committee set out on pages 86-91. Responsibilities of directors As explained more fully in the Directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 111, the Directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group and Parent Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the company and management. • We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the Group and determined that the most significant are: – those that relate to the reporting framework: UK adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB, the UK Companies Act 2006 and the UK Corporate Governance Code. – those that relate to the accrual or recognition of expenses for taxation such as various country specific tax codes in which the Group has operations. – those that relate to the accrual or recognition of expenses for pension costs, as well as the treatment of its employees, such as labour agreements in countries where the Group operates. – In addition, we concluded that there are certain significant laws and regulations which may have an effect on the determination of the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, primarily being The US Securities Act and Exchange Act and the Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority. • We understood how Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management, internal audit, those responsible for legal and compliance procedures and the company secretary. We corroborated our enquiries through our review of board minutes and papers provided to the Audit Committee and attendance at all meetings of the Audit Committee, as well as consideration of the results of our audit procedures across the Group. Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations, including specific instructions to full and specific scope component audit teams. At a Group level, our procedures involved: enquiries of Group management and those charged with governance, legal counsel and internal audit. At a component level, our full and specific scope component audit team’s procedures included enquiries of component management; journal entry testing; and focused testing over areas we considered more susceptible to management override, including as referred to in the “Accrued customer marketing costs” key audit matters section above. • We assessed the susceptibility of the Group’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. We did this by meeting with management from various parts of the business to understand where they considered there to be susceptibility to fraud; and by assessing whistleblowing incidences for those with a potential financial reporting impact. We understood the Group’s bonus scheme and long-term incentive plan performance targets and their propensity to influence on efforts made by management to manage revenue and earnings. We also considered the controls framework that the Group has established to address risks identified and how management monitors these controls. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address identified risks of material misstatement. These procedures included those referred to in the “Accrued customer marketing costs” key audit matters section above. In addition, we used data analytics at our full and specific scope components to correlate revenue with trade receivables and cash received, as well as promotional programmes expense with promotional programmes accruals and settlements. We also performed journal entry testing, focusing on manual and consolidation journals, and inspected documentation for any material unusual or unexpected journals. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. Other matters we are required to address • Following the recommendation from the Audit Committee we were appointed by the Company on 22 June 2016 to audit the financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2016 and subsequent financial periods. The period of total uninterrupted engagement including previous renewals and reappointments is six years, covering the years ending 31 December 2016 to 31 December 2021. • The audit opinion is consistent with the additional report to the Audit Committee.

The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc Opinion on the financial statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (the “Group”) as of 31 December 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 31 December 2021 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group at 31 December 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 31 December 2021, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated 15 March 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

These totalled €4.1 billion for the year ended 31 December 2021, with €1,160 million of accrued customer marketing costs as of 31 December 2021. The types of promotional programmes are more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements with details about accrued customer marketing costs disclosed in Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements. Auditing the completeness and measurement of the accrued customer marketing costs, is complex and judgemental, particularly in relation to promotional programmes where there is estimation uncertainty related to estimated sales volumes or expected customer performance. Valuation of the distribution rights and property, plant and equipment acquired with Coca-Cola Amatil Limited As described in Notes 3 and 4 of the consolidated financial statements, the Group completed the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited on 10 May 2021 for total consideration of €5.8 billion. As a result of the acquisition, the Group measured the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values at the acquisition date. The assets acquired included distribution rights intangibles in Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands valued using a multi-period excess earnings approach (which primarily contributed to the €4.3 billion of acquired intangible assets); and property, plant and equipment valued using a depreciated replacement cost approach (forming part of the €1.6 billion acquired). Auditing the valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities was complex and judgemental with regards to Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands distribution rights and items of property, plant and equipment, due to a higher degree of subjectivity in management’s evaluation of certain assumptions required to estimate the fair value of these assets, being primarily prospective financial information, discount rates and useful economic lives. How we addressed the matter in our audit We obtained an understanding of the Group’s revenue recognition policies and processes and how they are applied, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls that address the risks of material misstatement relating to the completeness and measurement of the promotional programmes. For example, we tested controls over management’s determination of the total estimated sales volumes used in the assessment of the accrued customer marketing costs. To evaluate the specific estimations that are inherent in the calculation of the accrued customer marketing costs, our audit procedures included, among others, testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data, by agreeing key terms of the promotional programmes to the executed sales agreements on a sample basis. We also compared accrued customer marketing costs to subsequent cash settlements on a sample basis. We performed analytical procedures around per unit case rates to identify any potential outliers and tested material unusual or unexpected journal entries. We also analysed the historical reversals and ageing of the accrued customer marketing costs, to identify potential management bias in the estimate of the year-end accrual and considered any changes in the business environment that would warrant changes in the methodology. We evaluated and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls over the valuation of the acquired assets. For example, we tested controls over management's review of the valuation methodologies and the significant assumptions used to develop the fair value estimates, including prospective financial information, discount rates and useful economic lives. To test the estimated fair values of the distribution rights and property, plant and equipment at the date of the acquisition, we performed sensitivity analyses to determine which assumptions had the greatest impact on the overall determination of value and therefore presented a higher audit risk. We performed additional procedures to test those assumptions. Among other procedures, we involved valuation specialists to assist in our assessment of management’s valuation methodologies and models and to determine an independent range for the discount rate and useful economic life assumptions. We assessed the revenue growth rates and operating profit margin within the prospective financial information by comparing management’s assumptions to external sources and historical performance. We also evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures related to the acquisition and the purchase price allocation.

The Group is subject to income tax in numerous jurisdictions and is routinely under audit by taxing authorities in the ordinary course of business as described in Note 21 and Note 23 of the consolidated financial statements. Management applies judgement in assessing tax exposures in each jurisdiction, which requires interpretation of local tax laws and specific facts and circumstances. Auditing the uncertain tax positions was judgemental, because of the inherent uncertainty related to tax exposures, which may result in materially different outcomes. Specifically, each tax position involves the evaluation of unique and evolving facts and circumstances. At 31 December 2021, the carrying value of the goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles allocated to the Iberia Cash Generating Unit (CGU) was €5,564 million. As discussed in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements, goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles are tested for impairment at the CGU level, at least annually, in the fourth quarter, or whenever there is an indication of impairment. Auditing management’s annual impairment test for the Iberia CGU was judgmental, as the calculation of the ‘value in use’ (VIU) of the CGU involved estimating the future earnings and cash flows of the CGU, including the expected recovery from COVID-19 during the forecast period. In addition, there is lower headroom between the VIU and the carrying value of the Iberia CGU compared to other CGUs in the Group. Management’s impairment model used to calculate the VIU for the Iberia CGU was most sensitive to the assumptions around discount rate and the prospective financial information, in particular revenue growth rates, operating profit margin and long-term growth rates. How we addressed the matter in our audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls in place over the Group’s process to evaluate and account for uncertain tax positions. For example, we tested the Group’s controls around evaluation of the facts and circumstances supporting the conclusions on the Group’s tax positions. We evaluated the tax positions taken by management in each significant jurisdiction in the context of local tax laws, considering correspondence with tax authorities, the status of any tax audits and third-party advice obtained by the Group. Our work involved tax professionals with local knowledge to assess the tax positions taken in each significant jurisdiction in the context of local tax law and significant tax assessments. In evaluating management’s tax provisions, we developed our independent range of tax exposures by jurisdiction, which we compared to the Group’s provisions. We also considered outcomes for similar fact patterns in different jurisdictions with equivalent tax rules and regulations. We evaluated the adequacy of the related disclosures provided in the Group financial statements. We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls in place within the impairment review process. This included evaluating controls over the Group’s budgetary and forecasting process used to develop the estimated future earnings and cash flows used in estimating the VIU of the Iberia CGU. We also tested controls over management’s data included in the VIU model and their determination of the significant assumptions described above. We involved our internal valuation specialists to assist with the evaluation of the discount rate and long-term growth rate used in the VIU model, by developing an independent range. We assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and forecasts against actual results for indications of management bias and compared the CGU’s performance since the testing date with the forecasts used in the VIU model. We compared the revenue growth and operating profit margin included in the five-year cash flow period within the VIU model to external sources of information. We reperformed management’s sensitivity analysis, determining the breakeven point by evaluating a combination of changes to the revenue and long-term growth rates, the operating profit margin, and discount rate. We also developed our own independent stress test for a delayed recovery from COVID-19 and evaluated the likelihood of the occurrence of those scenarios.

As indicated in the accompanying Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd, which is included in the 2021 consolidated financial statements of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc and constituted 33.8% and 6.4% of total assets and net assets, respectively, as of 31 December 2021 and 15.8% and 14.2% of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd. In our opinion, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc (the “Group”) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of 31 December 2021, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 31 December 2021 and the related notes and our report dated 15 March 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for opinion The Group’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP London, United Kingdom 15 March 2022 Strategic ReportCoca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form

The Company and its subsidiaries (together CCEP, or the Group) are a leading consumer goods group in Western Europe and the Asia Pacific region, making, selling and distributing an extensive range of primarily non-alcoholic ready to drink beverages. Refer to Note 4 for further details about the acquisition of CCL (the Acquisition). The Company has ordinary shares with a nominal value of €0.01 per share (Shares). CCEP is a public company limited by shares, incorporated under the laws of England and Wales with the registered number in England of 9717350. The Group’s Shares are listed and traded on Euronext Amsterdam, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, London Stock Exchange and on the Spanish Stock Exchanges. The address of the Company’s registered office is Pemberton House, Bakers Road, Uxbridge, UB8 1EZ, United Kingdom. The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021 were approved and signed by Damian Gammell, Chief Executive Officer on 15 March 2022 having been duly authorised to do so by the Board of Directors. Impact of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic and related response measures have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on global economic conditions, as well as our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. At this time, we cannot predict the degree to which, or the time period over which, our business will continue to be affected by COVID-19 and the related response measures. These impacts limit the comparability of these consolidated financial statements with prior periods. In addition, as part of the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, we have considered the impact of COVID-19 on our accounting policies and judgements and estimates. The key accounting impacts and considerations for the Group are included in the relevant notes herein. Impact of climate change As part of the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, we have considered the relevant disclosures in the Strategic Report with respect to the recommendations of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. Our considerations focused on the valuation of long-term assets. Based on currently known information, there were no issues identified that could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities in these consolidated financial statements. Basis of preparation These consolidated financial statements of the Group reflect the following: • They have been prepared in accordance with U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). • They have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for certain items measured at fair value. Those accounting policies have been applied consistently in all periods, except for the adoption of new standards and amendments as of 1 January 2021, as described below under accounting policies. • They are presented in euros, which is also the Parent Company’s functional currency and all values are rounded to the nearest € million except where otherwise indicated. • They have been prepared on a going concern basis (refer to page 110). Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries. All subsidiaries have accounting years ended 31 December and apply consistent accounting policies for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements. Subsidiary undertakings are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through the Group’s power to direct the activities of the entity. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% to 50% of voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as equity transactions. When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and any other components of equity, while any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost. The financial results presented herein for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2020 and for the period from 1 January 2021 through to the Acquisition refer to Legacy CCEP and its consolidated subsidiaries, and the period from the Acquisition to 31 December 2021 refer to the combined financial results of CCEP. Foreign currency The individual financial statements of each subsidiary are presented in the currency of the primary economic environment in which the subsidiary operates (its functional currency). For the purpose of the consolidated financial statements, the results and financial position of each subsidiary are expressed in euros.

Typically, sales of the Group’s products are seasonal. In Europe, the second and third quarters typically account for higher unit sales of the Group’s products than the first and fourth quarters. In our API territories, the fourth quarter typically reflects the highest unit sales volumes each year. The seasonality of the Group’s sales volume, combined with the accounting for fixed costs such as depreciation, amortisation, rent and interest expense, impacts the Group’s reported results for the first and second halves of the year. Additionally, year over year shifts in holidays, selling days and weather patterns can impact the Group’s results on an annual or half yearly basis. The following table summarises the number of selling days for the years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019 (based on a standard five day selling week): 2021 2020 2019 First Half Second Half Full Year 131 128 129 130 134 132 261 262 261 Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured to the functional currency of the entity at the rate of exchange in effect at the statement of financial position date with the resulting gain or loss recorded in the consolidated income statement. The consolidated income statement includes non-operating items which are primarily made up of remeasurement gains and losses related to currency exchange rate fluctuations on financing transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. Non-operating items are shown on a net basis and reflect the impact of any derivative instruments utilised to hedge the foreign currency movements of the underlying financing transactions. The assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated from local currencies to the euro reporting currency at currency exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly currency exchange rates, with average rates being a reasonable approximation of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Gains and losses from translation are included in other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, accumulated exchange differences are recognised as a component of the gain or loss on disposal. The principal exchange rates used for translation purposes in respect of one Euro were: Average for the year ended(A) Closing as at 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 31 December 2019 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 UK Sterling US Dollar Norwegian Krone Swedish Krone Icelandic Krone Australian Dollar Indonesian Rupiah(B) New Zealand Dollar Papua New Guinean Kina 1.16 0.85 0.10 0.10 0.01 0.63 0.06 0.60 0.24 1.13 0.88 0.09 0.10 0.01 n/a n/a n/a n/a 1.14 0.89 0.10 0.09 0.01 n/a n/a n/a n/a 1.19 0.88 0.10 0.10 0.01 0.64 0.06 0.60 0.25 1.11 0.81 0.10 0.10 0.01 n/a n/a n/a n/a (A) For current year period European rates and US dollar are calculated as average for the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021.

The revenue from the sale of products is recognised at the point in time at which control passes to a customer, typically when products are delivered to a customer. A receivable is recognised by the Group at the point in time at which the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Significant judgements and estimates In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively. The significant judgements made in applying the Group’s accounting policies were applied consistently across the annual periods. The Group uses various promotional programmes under which rebates, refunds, price concessions or similar items can be earned by customers for attaining agreed upon sales levels or for participating in specific marketing programmes. Those promotional programmes do not give rise to a separate performance obligation. Where the consideration the Group is entitled to varies because of such programmes, it is deemed to be variable consideration. The related accruals are recognised as a deduction from revenue and are not considered distinct from the sale of products to the customer. Variable consideration is only included to the extent that it is highly probable that the inclusion will not result in a significant revenue reversal in the future normal commercial terms. Financing elements are not deemed present in our contracts with customers as the sales are made with credit terms not exceeding normal commercial terms. Taxes on sugared soft drinks, excise taxes and taxes on packaging are recorded on a gross basis (i.e. included in revenue) where the Group is the principal in the arrangement. Value added taxes are recorded on a net basis (i.e. excluded from revenue). The Group assesses these taxes and duties on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis to conclude on the appropriate accounting treatment. The rest of the accounting policies applied by the Group are included in the relevant notes herein. New and amended standards and interpretation The Group has applied the following amendments for the first time in the year ended 31 December 2021. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2 – amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). The amendments include the following practical expedients: • A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest; • Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued; and • Provide temporary relief to entities from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable. The Group has not early adopted any other standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective. These standards, interpretations or amendments are not expected to have a material impact to the Group in the current or future periods and on foreseeable future transactions. The significant judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements are outlined below. Significant judgements Intangible assets and goodwill The Group has assigned indefinite lives to its bottling agreements with TCCC. This judgement has been made after evaluating the contractual provisions of the bottling agreements, the Group’s mutually beneficial relationship with TCCC and the history of renewals for bottling agreements. Refer to Note 7 for further details on the judgement regarding the lives of bottling agreements. Significant estimates Acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited – fair value measurements A determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Acquisition, and the useful lives of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment acquired is required. This exercise is a substantial undertaking which requires the use of various valuation techniques. Future events could cause underlying assumptions to change which could have a significant impact on the Group’s financial results. Refer to Note 4 for further details regarding the Acquisition, including estimations used in determining the provisional fair values for the acquired assets and liabilities assumed. Impairment of indefinite lived intangible assets and goodwill Determining whether goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are impaired requires an estimation of the value in use or the fair value less costs to sell of the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the goodwill or intangible asset has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires management’s estimation of the future cash flows expected to arise from the CGU, including the impact of COVID-19. Refer to Note 7 for the sensitivity analysis of the assumptions used in the impairment analysis of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives. Deductions from revenue and sales incentives The Group participates in various promotional programmes with customers designed to increase the sale of products. Among the programmes are arrangements under which rebates, refunds, price concessions or similar items can be earned by customers for attaining agreed upon sales levels, or for participating in specific marketing programmes. Those promotional programmes do not give rise to a separate performance obligation. Where the consideration the Group is entitled to varies because of such programmes, the amount payable is deemed to be variable consideration. Management makes estimates on an ongoing basis for each individual promotion to assess the value of the variable consideration based upon historical customer experience, expected customer performance and/or estimated sales volumes. The related accruals are recognised as a deduction from revenue and are not considered distinct from the sale of products to the customer. Refer to Note 15 for further details.

The Group recognises a provision for situations that might arise in the foreseeable future based on an assessment of the probabilities as to whether additional taxes will be due. In addition, the Group is involved in various legal proceedings and tax matters. Where an outflow of funds is believed to be probable and a reliable estimate of the outcome of the dispute can be made, management provides for its best estimate of the liability. Where the final outcome on these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences impact the tax provision in the period in which such determination is made. These estimates are subject to potential change over time as new facts emerge and each circumstance progresses. The evaluation of deferred tax asset recoverability requires estimates to be made regarding the availability of future taxable income in the jurisdiction giving rise to the deferred tax asset. Refer to Note 21 for further details regarding income taxes. Defined benefit plans The determination of pension benefit costs and obligations are estimated based on assumptions determined with the assistance of external actuarial advice. The key assumptions impacting the valuations are the discount rate, salary rate of inflation and mortality rates. Refer to Note 16 for further details about the Group’s defined benefit pension plan costs and obligations. Note 4 Business combinations CCL was one of the largest bottlers and distributors of ready to drink non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages and coffee in the Asia Pacific region and was the authorised bottler and distributor of The Coca-Cola Company’s (TCCC) beverage brands in Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. In November 2020, CCEP and CCL entered into a binding Scheme Implementation Deed (the Scheme) for the acquisition of 69.2% of the entire existing issued share capital of CCL, which was held by shareholders other than TCCC. CCEP also entered into a Co- operation and Sale Deed with TCCC with respect to the acquisition of TCCC's 30.8% interest in CCL (the Co-operation agreement), conditional upon the implementation of the Scheme. During the first half of 2021, the required shareholder, regulatory and court approvals were obtained and on 10 May 2021 the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of CCL. Shareholders other than TCCC received A$13.32 per share in cash, totalling cash consideration paid of A$6,673 million. TCCC received A$9.39 and A$10.57 per share for 10.8% and 20%, respectively, of the remaining CCL shares held by TCCC. Cash consideration paid to TCCC was A$893 million and USD1,046 million. The fair value of the consideration transferred at the acquisition date was €5,752 million. The business combination is being accounted for under IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”, using the acquisition method of accounting, with CCEP considered as the accounting acquirer. The operations of the acquired businesses are extensive and complex and the Group is in the process of finalising the fair values for certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities which include intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, current and deferred tax assets and liabilities based on facts that existed as at the date of the Acquisition. Accordingly, the Group has recognised provisional amounts for these items. During the measurement period, which will not extend beyond 9 May 2022, the Group will adjust the provisional amounts recognised at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognised as at that date. The following table details the Euro equivalent consideration and provisional fair values of assets and liabilities as acquired: Intangible assets Property, plant and equipment Non-current derivative assets Deferred tax assets Other non-current assets Current derivative assets Current tax assets Inventories Amounts receivable from related parties Trade accounts receivable Other current assets Short term investments(A) Cash and cash equivalents(A) Borrowings, less current portion Employee benefit liabilities Non-current provisions Non-current derivative liabilities Deferred tax liabilities Non-current tax liabilities Current portion of borrowings Current portion of employee benefit liabilities Current provisions Current derivative liabilities Current tax liabilities Amounts payable to related parties Trade and other payables Net identifiable assets acquired Non-controlling interest Cash flow hedge gains transferred to goodwill relating to business combination Goodwill Fair value of consideration € million 4,285 1,568 69 9 61 24 19 455 45 603 54 256 267 (1,251) (37) (3) (72) (1,185) (6) (381) (1) (9) (35) (18) (77) (841) 3,799 (228) 84 2,097 5,752 (A) To align accounting policies, short term time deposits and treasury bills with maturities of greater than three months and less than one year have been reclassified and presented as short term investments.

Indefinite life intangible assets mainly include bottling agreements with TCCC, which provide the Group with the exclusive rights to prepare, package, distribute and sell TCCC branded products in the territories in which it operates. Definite life intangible assets include distribution agreements with other brand partners, customer relationships and capitalised software. Bottling agreements with TCCC, distribution agreements with other brand partners and customer relationships have been valued using a multi-period excess earnings model, whereby the value of a specific intangible asset is estimated from the excess earnings after fair returns on all other assets employed have been deducted from the business’s after- tax operating earnings. Brand assets have been valued based on a payment relief method, estimating the value of future foregone payments to a brand owner over the life of the asset by virtue of owning the asset. Capitalised software has been valued using a replacement cost approach, representing the current cost to replace the existing asset in its current state. Whilst the bottling agreements with TCCC contain no automatic right of renewal, the Group believes that the interdependent relationship with TCCC and the substantial cost and disruption to TCCC that would be caused by non- renewals ensures that these agreements will continue to be renewed and, therefore, are essentially perpetual. After evaluating the contractual provisions of the bottling agreements, the mutually beneficial relationship with TCCC and history of renewals, the Group has assigned indefinite lives to all such intangible assets. Refer to Note 7 for further details about the Group’s intangible assets and goodwill. Goodwill of €2,097 million has been recognised in connection with the Acquisition, representing the excess of consideration transferred over the provisional fair values of the net identifiable assets acquired and non-controlling interests, less the cash flow hedge gains of €84 million. The cash flow hedge gains relate to the deal contingent foreign currency forwards which were reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserves and included in goodwill upon settlement. The goodwill is attributable to new growth opportunities, workforce and synergies of the combined business operations, and it is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Property, plant and equipment has been valued using a variety of valuation techniques depending on the local market and the highest and best use of each asset. These techniques include capitalisation of comparable net market income, depreciated replacement cost and sales comparison approach. Included within Property, plant and equipment are right of use assets which have been valued at €307 million. A corresponding lease liability of €302 million is included within Borrowings. Inventory has been valued based on estimated sales value less cost of disposal. The Group recorded a fair value adjustment to increase the carrying value of finished goods on hand at the time of the Acquisition by €48 million. This adjustment is included within cost of sales in the consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 December 2021 as the inventory was sold during the year. The fair value of acquired trade accounts receivable is €603 million. The gross contractual amount related to these receivables is €618 million, of which €15 million is expected to be uncollectible. At the acquisition date, the Group has elected to measure components of non-controlling interests in CCL at fair value. The fair value of non-controlling interests represents the fair value of TCCC’s 29.4% ownership interest in PT Coca-Cola Bottling Indonesia, plus non-controlling interests with respect to Paradise Beverages (Fiji) Group and Samoa Breweries Limited. Fair value has been derived primarily using applicable enterprise value based on discounted future cash flow projections. API contributed revenue of €2.2 billion and profit before tax of €207 million to the Group from acquisition date through to 31 December 2021. If the Acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, pro forma revenue and profit before tax for CCEP for the year ended 31 December 2021 would have been €14.8 billion and €1.4 billion, respectively. Acquisition and integration related costs of €49 million and €4 million are included in administrative expenses and finance costs, respectively, in the consolidated income statement for the year ended 31 December 2021. Cash payments for acquisition-related costs are included in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Note 5 Segment information Description of segment and principal activities Following the Acquisition, the Group performed a review of its segment reporting under IFRS 8, “Operating Segments”. The Group continues to derive its revenues through a single business activity, which is making, moving and selling ready to drink beverages, primarily non-alcoholic beverages. The Acquisition has broadened the Group’s geographic footprint which now includes Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Islands, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. These territories collectively make up the Australia, Pacific and Indonesia (API) segment. Based on the governance structure of the Group, including decision making authority and oversight, the Group’s Board continues to be its Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), and the Group now has two operating segments, Europe, representing the pre-acquisition territories of CCEP, and API. The Board, as the CODM, allocates resources and evaluates performance of its operating segments based on volume, revenue and comparable operating profit. Comparable operating profit excludes items impacting the comparability of period over period financial performance.

These assets are not subject to amortisation but are tested for impairment annually at the CGU level or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate an impairment may exist. In addition to the annual impairment test, the assessment of indefinite lives is also reviewed annually. TCCC franchise intangible assets The Group’s bottling agreements contain performance requirements and convey the rights to distribute and sell products within specified territories. The Group’s agreements with TCCC in each territory are for terms of 10 years and each contain the right for the Group to request a 10 years renewal. The existing bottling agreements expire no earlier than 1 September 2025. While these agreements contain no automatic right of renewal beyond that date, the Group believes that its interdependent relationship with TCCC and the substantial cost and disruption to TCCC that would be caused by non-renewal ensure that these agreements will continue to be renewed and, therefore, are essentially perpetual. The Group has never had a bottling agreement with TCCC terminated due to non-performance of the terms of the agreement or due to a decision by TCCC to terminate an agreement at the expiration of a term. After evaluating the contractual provisions of bottling agreements, the Group’s mutually beneficial relationship with TCCC and history of renewals, indefinite lives have been assigned to all of the Group’s TCCC bottling agreements. Brands In connection with the Acquisition, the Group acquired a portfolio of brands, predominantly comprised of certain non- alcoholic ready to drink beverages distributed and sold in Australia and New Zealand. These are considered to have an indefinite life, given the strength and durability of the brands. Goodwill Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the total consideration transferred over the amount recognised for net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the gain is recognised in the consolidated income statement as a bargain purchase. Goodwill is not subject to amortisation. It is tested annually for impairment at the CGU level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to the CGU that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination irrespective of whether a CGU is part of the business combination. Intangible assets with finite lives Intangible assets with finite lives are measured at cost of acquisition or production and are amortised using the straight- line method over their respective estimated useful lives. Finite lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired. The amortisation period and method are reviewed annually. Internally generated software The Group capitalises certain development costs associated with internally developed software, including external direct costs of materials and services and payroll costs for employees devoting time to a software project and any such software acquired as part of a business combination. Development expenditure is recognised as an intangible asset only after its technical feasibility and commercial viability can be demonstrated. When capitalised software is not integral to related hardware it is treated as an intangible asset; otherwise it is included within property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful life of capitalised software is between five and seven years. Amortisation expense for capitalised software is included within administrative expenses and was €75 million, €54 million and €44 million for the years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively. Customer relationships The Group has acquired certain customer relationships in connection with business combinations. These customer relationships are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition, and amortised over an estimated economic useful life of 20 years. Amortisation expense for these assets is included within administrative expenses and was €9 million, €8 million and €8 million for the years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively. Non-TCCC franchise intangible In connection with the Acquisition, the Group acquired certain bottling agreements with Non-TCCC distribution partners which contain performance requirements and convey the rights to distribute and sell products within specified API territories. The provisional fair value of these Non-TCCC franchise intangible assets is estimated to be €149 million, which is being amortised over an expected economic useful life of 20 years. Amortisation expense for these assets is recognised within administrative expenses and totalled €5 million for the year ending 31 December 2021.

The recoverable amount of each CGU is normally determined through a value in use calculation. To determine value in use for a CGU, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present values using a pre-tax discount rate reflective of the current market conditions and risks specific to each CGU. If the carrying value of a CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the carrying value of the CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount and impairment charges are recognised immediately within the consolidated income statement. Impairment charges other than those related to goodwill may be reversed in future periods if a subsequent test indicates that the recoverable amount has increased. Such recoveries may not exceed a CGU’s original carrying value less any depreciation that would have been recognised if no impairment charges were previously recorded. The Group’s CGUs are based on geography and generally represent the individual territories in which the Group operates. For the purposes of allocating intangibles, each indefinite-lived intangible asset is allocated to the geographic region to which the agreement relates and goodwill is allocated to each of the CGUs expected to benefit from a business combination, irrespective of whether other assets and liabilities of the acquired businesses are assigned to the CGUs. The Group has recognised provisional fair values for the indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill related to the recently acquired territories representing the Group’s API CGUs. Should operating results or macroeconmic assumptions deteriorate versus those utilised in calculating the provisional fair values of these assets as of the acquisition date, an impairment of the acquired assets could result in the future. The following table identifies the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets attributable to each significant CGU of the Group. In addition to the significant CGUs of the Group, as at 31 December 2021 the Group had other CGUs with total indefinite-lived intangible assets of €2,243 million and goodwill of €941 million. Cash generating unit Iberia Australia Great Britain Germany 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 Indefinite lived intangible assets € million 4,289 2,698 1,740 1,060 Goodwill € million 1,275 1,459 200 748 TCCC Franchise € million 4,289 — 1,624 1,060 Goodwill € million 1,275 — 200 748 The recoverable amounts of each of the Group’s API CGUs were determined based on fair value less costs of disposal due to the relative proximity to the acquisition date. The recoverable amounts of each of the Group’s Europe CGUs were determined through a value in use calculation, which uses cash flow projections for a five year period. The key assumptions used in projecting these cash flows were as follows: • Growth rate and operating margins: Cash flows were projected over four years based on the Group’s strategic business plan. Cash flows for the fifth year and beyond were projected using a long-term terminal growth rate of 2%. • Discount rate: A weighted average cost of capital was applied specific to each CGU as a hurdle rate to discount cash flows. The discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into consideration the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have not been incorporated in the cash flow estimates. The following table summarises the pre-tax discount rate attributable to each significant CGU. Cash generating unit Iberia Great Britain Germany 2021 Pre-tax discount rate 2020 Pre-tax discount rate % 9 10 9 % 9 9 9 The Group did not record any impairment charges as a result of the tests conducted in 2021 and 2020. The Group’s Great Britain and Germany CGUs continue to have substantial headroom when comparing the value in use calculation of the CGU versus the CGU’s carrying value. For the Group’s Iberia CGU, the headroom in the 2021 impairment analysis was approximately 32% (2020: 25%) of carrying value. The Group estimates that a 2.0% reduction in the terminal growth rate or a 1.6% increase in the discount rate, each in isolation, would eliminate existing headroom in Iberia.

Since the adoption of IFRS 16, “Leases”, effective 1 January 2019, the Group includes right of use assets within property, plant and equipment. Right of use assets are initially measured at cost, comprising the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any direct costs and an estimate of asset retirement obligations, less lease incentives. Subsequently, right of use assets are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Group does not separate lease from non-lease components for each of its lease categories, except for property leases. All low value leases with total minimum lease payments under €5,000 and leases with a term less than 12 months are expensed on a straight-line basis. Extension and termination options are included in a number of property and equipment leases across the Group and are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing contracts. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the Group has an enforceable right to extend or terminate the lease and is reasonably certain to do so. Note 8 Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, where cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction. Major property additions, replacements and improvements are capitalised, while maintenance and repairs that do not extend the useful life of an asset or add new functionality are expensed as incurred. Land is not depreciated, as it is considered to have an indefinite life. For all property, plant and equipment, other than land, depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives as follows: Category Buildings and improvements Machinery, equipment and containers Cold drink equipment Vehicle fleet Furniture and office equipment Useful life (years) Low 10 3 4 3 4 High 40 20 12 12 10 Gains or losses arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset are determined as the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and any proceeds from its sale. Leasehold improvements are amortised using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvement. The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, an impairment test is performed to estimate the potential loss of value that may reduce the recoverable amount of the asset to below its carrying amount. Any impairment loss is recognised within the consolidated income statement by the amount which the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Useful lives and residual amounts are reviewed annually and adjustments are made prospectively as required. For property, plant and equipment, the Group assesses annually whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, a previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised and only up to the recoverable amount or the original carrying amount net of depreciation that would have been incurred had no impairment losses been recognised.

Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies (primarily including concentrate, other ingredients and packaging) and finished goods, which also include direct labour, indirect production and overhead costs. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring inventories to their present location and condition. Spare parts are recorded as assets at the time of purchase and are expensed as utilised. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to complete and sell the inventory.

While the Group has a concentration of credit risk in the retail sector, this risk is mitigated due to the diverse nature of the customers the Group serves, including, but not limited to, their type, geographic location, size and beverage channel. Trade accounts receivable are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less provision for impairment. Typically, accounts receivable have terms of 30 to 60 days and do not bear interest. The Group applies an expected credit loss reserve methodology to assess possible impairments. Balances are considered for impairment on an individual basis rather than by reference to the extent that they become overdue. The Group considers factors such as delinquency in payment, financial difficulties, payment history of the debtor as well as certain forward-looking macroeconomic indicators. The carrying amount of trade accounts receivable is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement. Credit insurance on a portion of the accounts receivable balance is also carried. Refer to Note 26 for further details on credit risk management. As a result of COVID-19, the Group supplemented its existing credit loss reserve methodology to include an incremental loss allowance for those receivable balances that were deemed to be higher risk in the current environment. The incremental allowance is included within allowance for doubtful accounts below, as at 31 December 2021.

Counterparties and instruments used to hold the Group’s cash and cash equivalents are continually assessed, with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity.

Government-imposed currency controls impact the extent to which the cash held in Papua New Guinea can be converted into foreign currency and remitted for use elsewhere in the Group. There are no other material restrictions on the Group’s cash and cash equivalents. Short term investments Short term investments are financial assets that are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. The Group classifies its financial assets as at amortised cost only if both of the following criteria are met: • the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows; and • the contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments for principal and interest. The short term investment balance is comprised of time deposits and treasury bills, with maturity dates of greater than three months and less than one year when acquired, which do not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents, and are expected to be held until maturity. These are highly liquid investments and due to their short term nature, their carrying amount is not significantly different from the fair values. Short term investments were €58 million as at 31 December 2021 (2020: nil), which include €44 million denominated in Papua New Guinea Kina that are subject to government-imposed currency controls which impact the extent to which these investments, upon maturity, can be converted into foreign currency and remitted for use elsewhere in the Group. Note 12 Fair values Fair value measurements All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy. This is described as one of the following, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole: • Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. The Group values assets and liabilities included in this level using dealer and broker quotations, certain pricing models, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The fair values of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, amounts receivable from related parties, trade and other payables and amounts payable to related parties approximate their carrying amounts due to their short term nature. The fair values of the Group’s borrowings are estimated based on borrowings with similar maturities and credit quality and current market interest rates. These are categorised within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as the Group uses certain pricing models and quoted prices for similar liabilities in active markets in assessing their fair values. Refer to Note 14 for further details regarding the Group’s borrowings.

The primary risks that it seeks to manage through the use of derivative financial instruments include currency exchange risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The Group’s derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value, which is determined using a variety of valuation techniques, depending on the specific characteristics of the hedging instrument, taking into account credit risk. The fair value of its derivative contracts (including forwards, options, futures, cross currency swaps and interest rate swaps) is determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and, therefore, the derivative contracts have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models include the applicable spot, forward and discount rates. The standard valuation model for the option contracts also includes implied volatility, which is specific to individual options and is based on rates quoted from a widely used third party resource. Refer to Note 13 for further details about the Group’s derivatives. The following table summarises the fair value of the derivative assets and liabilities as at the dates presented: 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 € million € million All derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and all hedge ratios are on a 1:1 basis. At the inception of a hedge transaction, the Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking the derivative financial instrument designated as a hedging instrument to the specific asset, liability, firm commitment or forecasted transaction. Refer to Note 26 for further details about the Group’s risk management strategy and objective. Both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, the Group assesses and documents whether the derivative financial instrument used in the hedging transaction is highly effective in maintaining the risk management objectives. Where critical terms match, the Group uses a qualitative assessment to ensure initial and ongoing effectiveness criteria. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, exercised, or no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument recognised in equity is retained in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the net cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity is transferred to the income statement. Assets at fair value: Derivatives (Note 13) Liabilities at fair value: Derivatives (Note 13) 376 66 46 77 While certain derivative financial instruments are designated as hedging instruments, the Group may also enter into derivative financial instruments that are designed to hedge a risk but are not designated as hedging instruments (referred to as an economic hedge or a non-designated hedge). The decision regarding whether or not to designate a hedge for hedge accounting is made by management considering the size, purpose and tenure of the hedge, as well as the anticipated ability to achieve and maintain the Group’s risk management objective. For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation at the end of each reporting period. There have been no transfers between levels during the periods presented. The Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of its derivative financial instruments. It has established and maintained strict counterparty credit guidelines and enters into hedges only with financial institutions that are investment grade or better. It continuously monitors counterparty credit risk and utilises numerous counterparties to minimise its exposure to potential defaults. As part of the Acquisition, the Group acquired derivative financial instruments which had previously been designated as hedging instruments in CCL. These instruments are used to manage currency exchange risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk of CCL and included FX swaps, commodity swaps, interest rate swaps and cross currency swaps. As at the acquisition date, the Group evaluated each of the acquired derivative financial instruments and assessed whether the designation as a hedging instrument was appropriate under IFRS 9. The Group subsequently designated the acquired derivative financial instruments as either cash flow hedges or fair value hedges and continues to assess and document whether the derivative financial instruments used in the hedging transaction are highly effective in maintaining the risk management objective.

Effective changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedging instruments are recognised as a component of other reserves on the consolidated statement of financial position. The effective changes are then recognised within the line item on the consolidated income statement that is consistent with the nature of the underlying hedged item in the period that the forecasted purchases or payments impact earnings. Any changes in the fair value of these cash flow hedges that are the result of ineffectiveness are recognised immediately in the line item on the consolidated income statement that is consistent with the nature of the underlying hedged item. Historically, the Group has not experienced, nor does it expect to experience, material hedge ineffectiveness with the value of the hedged instrument equalling that of the hedged item. In connection with the Acquisition, the Group entered into deal contingent foreign currency forwards with a total notional amount of €5.6 billion in order to mitigate the foreign currency risk arising from the Acquisition. These instruments were recorded as cash flow hedges, and on completion of the Acquisition, gains of €84 million were reclassified to Goodwill. The net notional amount of outstanding interest rate and cross currency swaps used to hedge interest rate risk and currency fluctuations of non-functional currency borrowings was €2.2 billion at 31 December 2021 and €0.4 billion at 31 December 2020. The net notional amount of the other outstanding currency related cash flow hedges was €1.1 billion as at 31 December 2021 and €0.3 billion as at 31 December 2020. The net notional amount of outstanding commodity related cash flow hedges was €0.9 billion as at 31 December 2021 and €0.7 billion as at 31 December 2020. Outstanding cash flow hedges as at 31 December 2021 are expected to settle and affect profit or loss between 2022 and 2036. The following table summarises the fair value of the assets and liabilities related to derivative financial instruments and the respective line items in which they were recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as at the dates presented.

Fair value hedges The Group has designated certain cross currency swaps used to mitigate FX risk and interest rate risk on foreign currency borrowings as fair value hedges. There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the terms of the cross currency swap contracts match the terms of the fixed-rate borrowings. The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationship.

Borrowings acquired by the Group as part of the Acquisition have been recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. After initial recognition, borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortisation of transaction costs, fair value adjustments made on acquisition, premiums and discounts are recognised as part of finance costs within the consolidated income statement. Leases Since the adoption of IFRS 16, “Leases”, effective 1 January 2019, lease liabilities are included within Borrowings in our consolidated statement of financial position. The lease liability is measured at the present value of lease payments, discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate (IBR). The lease term comprises the non-cancellable period of the contract, together with periods covered by an option to extend the lease whenever the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option and has an enforceable right to do so. Subsequently, the lease liability is measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing it by lease payments made. The following table summarises the gains/(losses) recognised from fair value hedges that settled for the periods presented within the consolidated income statement: Fair value hedges Location - Income statement 31 Dec 2021 € million 31 Dec 2020 € million 31 Dec 2019 € million Foreign currency contracts Finance costs Total (2) (2) — — — — The carrying value of the hedged item recognised in borrowings is €173 million (2020: nil), which includes accumulated amounts of fair value adjustments of €15 million (2020: nil). Non-designated hedges The Group periodically enters into derivative instruments that are designed to hedge various risks but are not designated as hedging instruments. These hedged risks include those related to commodity price fluctuations associated with forecasted purchases of aluminium, sugar, components of PET (plastic) and vehicle fuel. At times, it also enters into other short-term non-designated hedges to mitigate its exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to currency fluctuations associated with short-term intercompany loans and certain cash equivalents denominated in non-functional currencies. Changes in the fair value of outstanding non-designated hedges are recognised each reporting period in the line item on the consolidated income statement that is consistent with the nature of the hedged risk. There were €59 million outstanding non-designated foreign currency hedges, hedging intercompany loans as at 31 December 2021. There were no outstanding non-designated hedges as at 31 December 2020. The following table summarises the gains/(losses) recognised from non-designated derivative financial instruments in the consolidated income statement for the years presented. 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 31 December 2019 Non-designated hedging instruments Location – income statement € million € million € million Commodity contracts Selling and distribution expenses Foreign currency contracts(A) Total Non-operating items — — — (12) (4) (16) 5 (2) 3 (A) The gain/(loss) recognised on these currency contracts is offset by the gain/(loss) recognised on the remeasurement of the underlying hedged items; therefore, there is a minimal consolidated net effect in non-operating items on the consolidated income statement. Net investment hedges The Group had no net investment hedges in place as at 31 December 2021 or 31 December 2020, however it continues to monitor its exposure to currency exchange rates and may enter into future net investment hedges as a result of volatility in the functional currencies of certain of its subsidiaries.

(D) Cross currency swaps are used by the Group to swap foreign currency bonds into the required local currency. (E) Included within the Group's borrowings as at 31 December 2021 are the bonds acquired as part of the Acquisition. These bonds are either denominated in A$ or swapped back to A$ or NZ$ using cross currency swaps. Note: During the period, the Group repaid A$100 million 4.63% Notes, A$45 million 6.65% Notes, JPY3 billion 2.54% Notes, A$100 million 4.25% Notes and A$30 million 5.95% Notes. These were acquired as part of the API acquisition and were repaid after the acquisition date but before year end. Borrowings are stated net of unamortised financing fees of €42 million and €26 million, as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, respectively. As at 31 December 2021, the total interest expense recognised on lease liabilities was €10 million. Credit facilities During 2021, the amount available under the Group’s multi currency credit facility was increased from €1.5 billion to €1.95 billion. This amount is available for borrowing with a syndicate of 13 banks. This credit facility matures in 2025 and is for general corporate purposes and supporting the Group’s working capital needs. Based on information currently available, there is no indication that the financial institutions participating in this facility would be unable to fulfill their commitments to the Group as at the date of these consolidated financial statements. The Group’s current credit facility contains no financial covenants that would impact its liquidity or access to capital. As at 31 December 2021, the Group had no amounts drawn under this credit facility.

Total cash outflows for leases were €149 million, €120 million and €132 million for the years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019 respectively. Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the reporting period, which are unpaid. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled between 30 to 60 days. The Group participates in various programmes and arrangements with customers designed to increase the sale of our products. The costs of these programmes are recorded as deductions from revenue. Among the programmes are arrangements under which allowances can be earned by customers for attaining agreed upon sales levels or for participating in specific marketing programmes. When these allowances are paid in arrears, the Group accrues the estimated amount to be paid based upon historical customer experience, the programme’s contractual terms, expected customer performance and/or estimated sales volume. The costs of these off-invoice customer marketing costs totalled €4.1 billion, €3.2 billion and €3.2 billion for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The following table summarises trade and other payables as at the dates presented: Trade accounts payable(A) Accrued customer marketing costs Accrued deposits Accrued compensation and benefits Accrued taxes Other accrued expenses Total trade and other payables 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 € million 1,691 1,160 264 482 220 420 € million 1,124 775 246 217 193 199 4,237 2,754 (A) Includes amounts of €266 million (2020: €219 million) which are part of a supply chain finance programme facilitated by the Group. The programme permits suppliers to elect on an invoice-by-invoice basis to receive a discounted payment from the partner bank earlier than the agreed payment terms with the Group. If a supplier makes this election, the value and the due date of the invoice payable by the Group remains unchanged.

All remeasurements of the defined benefit obligation, such as actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets, are recognised directly in other comprehensive income. Remeasurements recognised in other comprehensive income are reflected immediately in retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss. Service cost is presented within cost of sales, selling and distribution expenses and administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement. Past service cost is recognised immediately within cost of sales, selling and distribution expenses and administrative expenses in the consolidated income statement. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets. Net interest cost is presented within finance costs or finance income, as applicable, in the consolidated income statement. The defined benefit obligation recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows, using interest rates of high quality corporate bonds which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability. The Group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (1) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits and (2) when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Termination benefits are payable whenever an employee’s employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for those benefits. The following table summarises our non-current employee benefit liabilities as at the dates presented: Retirement benefit obligation Other employee benefit liabilities Total non-current employee benefit liabilities 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 € million € million 103 35 138 251 32 283 Defined benefit plans The Group sponsors a number of defined benefit pension plans in Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Luxembourg and Norway. In connection with the Acquisition, the Group assumed the liabilities related to two defined benefit plans, Coca-Cola Amatil Superannuation Plan (CCASP), which is predominantly Australia-based, and the CCBI Superannuation Plan (CCBISP), which is Indonesia-based. The Group’s Great Britain plan (GB Scheme) and Germany plans (Pension Plan 1 and Pension Plan 2) are the most significant. The GB Scheme’s defined benefit obligation includes benefits for current employees, former employees and current pensioners. The level of benefits provided (funded final salary pension) depends on the member’s length of service and salary at retirement age. Part of the pension may be exchanged for a tax free cash lump sum. The GB Scheme was closed to new members with effect from 1 October 2005 and is administered by a separate board of trustees, which is legally separate from the Group. The board of trustees is composed of representatives of both the employer and employees. The board of trustees is required by law to act in the interest of all relevant beneficiaries and is responsible for the investment policy with regard to the assets plus the day to day administration of the benefits. A full actuarial valuation of the GB Scheme occurs on a triennial basis by a qualified external actuary, which is used as the basis of determining the Group’s future contributions to the plan. The latest triennial valuation was carried out as at 5 April 2019 and has been updated to 31 December 2021 to reflect our defined benefit obligation, for known events and changes in market conditions as allowed under IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”. On 8 October 2020, the Group announced a proposal to close the GB Scheme to future accrual, which was implemented on 31 March 2021. The affected employees were offered to enrol in the Group’s defined contribution scheme (DC scheme), resulting in €19 million of expenses incurred for the year ending 31 December 2021 related to discrete payments to the affected employees in the form of cash or a contribution to their pension (DC Scheme). Subsequent to the implementation of the closure of the GB Scheme, the members moved from active to deferred status, with future indexation of deferred pensions before retirement measured by reference to the consumer price index (CPI). As a result, a gain of €28 million was recognised as a past service cost credit. Germany’s defined benefit pension plans are open to existing members but closed to new entrants. The defined benefit includes benefits for current employees, former employees and current pensioners. Pension Plan 1 has elements of a final salary pension for past service and a career average formula for new accruals. It is funded through a support fund administered by an insurance company. Pension Plan 2 is administered by the Group with the plan being covered by a contractual trust arrangement (CTA) and a single reinsurance contract. The Group is responsible for paying obligations. There is no external board of trustees. The insurer shares some responsibility for plan assets, investment policy and administration. The latest annual valuation for Plan 1 was 31 December 2019 updated to the balance sheet date of these consolidated financial statements and for Plan 2 it was 31 December 2021.

Some of our plans hold a significant proportion of growth assets (equities and property) which, though expected to outperform corporate bonds in the long term, create volatility and risk in the short term. The allocation to growth assets is monitored to ensure it remains appropriate given each scheme’s long-term objectives. • Changes in bond yields – a decrease in corporate bond yields will increase the defined benefit liability, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plan’s bond holdings. • Inflation risk – a significant proportion of our benefit obligations are linked to inflation and higher inflation will lead to higher liabilities (although, in most cases, caps on the level of inflationary increases are in place to protect against extreme inflation). The majority of the assets are either unaffected by or only loosely correlated with inflation, meaning that an increase in inflation will also increase the deficit. • Life expectancy – the majority of our plans have an obligation to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life expectancy will result in an increase in the defined benefit liabilities.

The surplus for 2021 and 2020, which is primarily related to the GB Scheme and Germany Pension Plan 2, is recognised on the balance sheet on the basis that the Group is entitled to a refund of any remaining assets once all members have left the plan.

The sensitivity analyses are based on a change in a significant assumption, keeping all other assumptions constant. The sensitivity analyses may not be representative of an actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another. Pension plan assets There are formal investment policies for the assets associated with our pension plans. Policy objectives include (1) maximising long-term return at acceptable risk levels; (2) diversifying among asset classes, if appropriate, and among investment managers; and (3) establishing relevant risk parameters within each asset class. Investment policies reflect the unique circumstances of the respective plans and include requirements designed to mitigate risk, including quality and diversification standards. Asset allocation targets are based on periodic asset liability and/or risk budgeting study results, which help determine the appropriate investment strategies for acceptable risk levels. The investment policies permit variances from the targets within certain parameters.

Investments in ordinary shares are valued using quoted market prices multiplied by the number of shares owned. Investments in equity funds are valued at the net asset value per share, which is calculated predominantly based on the underlying quoted investments market price, multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date. (B) The fair values of the fixed-income securities are determined based on quoted market prices in active markets. Bonds are held mainly in the currency of the geography of the plan. (C) Cash and other short-term investments are valued at €1.00/unit, which approximates fair value. Amounts are generally invested in cash or interest bearing accounts. (D) The valuation of unquoted real estate funds is based on net assets value per share multiplied by the number of shares owned. For quoted real estate funds, the calculation is based on the underlying quoted investments market price, multiplied by the number of shares held as of the measurement date. (E) Insurance contracts exactly match the amount and timing of certain benefits, therefore the fair value of these insurance policies is deemed to be the present value of the related obligations. (F) Primarily includes investments in equity securities, fixed income securities and combinations of both. Fair values are sourced from broker quotes. (G) Derivatives are comprised of futures and return swaps the fair values of which are not based on quoted market prices in active markets. Contributions To support a long-term funding arrangement, during 2019 the Group entered into a partnership agreement with the GB Scheme, the CCEP Scottish Limited Partnership (the Partnership). Certain property assets in Great Britain, with a market value of £171 million were transferred into the Partnership and subsequently leased back to the Group’s operating subsidiary in Great Britain. The GB Scheme receives semi-annual distributions from the Partnership, increasing each year at a fixed cumulative rate of 3% through to 2034. The Group exercises control over the Partnership and as such it is fully consolidated in these consolidated financial statements. Under IAS 19, the investment held by the GB Scheme in the Partnership does not represent a plan asset for the purposes of these consolidated financial statements. Similarly, the associated liability is not included in the consolidated statement of financial position, rather the distributions are recognised when paid as a contribution to the plan assets of the scheme. Contributions to pension plans totalled €39 million, €52 million and €61 million during the years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively. Included within the 2021 contribution is €10 million relating to the Partnership agreement. The Group expects to make contributions of €22 million for the full year ending 31 December 2022. Other employee benefit liabilities In certain territories, the Group has an early retirement programme designed to create an incentive for employees, within a certain age group, to transition from (full or part time) employment into retirement before their legal retirement age. Furthermore, the Group also sponsors deferred compensation plans in other territories. The current portion of these liabilities totalled €10 million and €13 million as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, respectively, and is included within the current portion of employee benefit liabilities. The non-current portion of these liabilities totalled €35 million and €32 million as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, respectively, and is included within employee benefit liabilities.

Restructuring costs charged in arriving at operating profit for the years presented include restructuring costs arising under the following programmes and initiatives: Accelerate Competitiveness In October 2020, the Group announced a number of proposals aimed at improving productivity through the use of technology enabled solutions. Included in these proposals was the closure of certain production facilities, including Liederbach and Sodenthaler in Germany and Malaga in Iberia. These proposals continue the focus on network optimisation and site rationalisation of the Group, with the majority of the impacted activities to be transferred within our network of facilities in each respective territory. The proposals are also expected to impact a number of functions across the Group, including business process technology, customer service, sales and marketing, and finance as the Group seeks to reduce complexity, improve efficiency and increase the use of technology. In 2021, as part of the continuation of this programme, the Group has announced additional restructuring proposals, including in Iberia relating to productivity initiatives across the sales organisation, which resulted in €51 million of severance costs. During the year ended 31 December 2021, the Group has incurred total restructuring charges related to this programme of €92 million, primarily made up of expected severance costs and accelerated depreciation. The total expenditure over the life of the programme is expected to be approximately €380 million. It is expected to be substantially complete by 31 December 2022. Transformation of cold drink operations During 2019, the Group commenced a transformation project relating to our cold drink operations aimed at delivering a modern, differentiated and versatile equipment fleet to optimise net cooler placements throughout our markets. As part of this strategy, capital expenditure on cold drink equipment will focus on the introduction of a new, more cost effective cooler, whilst reducing maintenance and refurbishment support spending on our older equipment. As a result of the operational impact of the strategic changes, a restructuring charge was recognised for the year ended 31 December 2021 of €44 million (2020: €44 million), primarily relating to the accelerated depreciation of aged cold drink equipment assets. This programme is now substantially complete.

Related party transactions For the purpose of these consolidated financial statements, transactions with related parties mainly comprise transactions between subsidiaries of the Group and the related parties of the Group. Transactions with entities with significant influence over the group Transactions with TCCC TCCC exerts significant influence over the Group, as defined by IAS 24, “Related Party Disclosures”. As at 31 December 2021, 19.3% of the total outstanding Shares in the Group were owned by European Refreshments, a wholly owned subsidiary of TCCC. The Group is a key bottler of TCCC products and has entered into bottling agreements with TCCC to make, sell and distribute products of TCCC within the Group’s territories. The Group purchases concentrate from TCCC and also receives marketing funding to help promote the sale of TCCC products. The Group’s agreements with TCCC in each territory are for 10 years terms and each contains the right for the Group to request a 10 years renewal. The existing bottling agreements expire no earlier than 1 September 2025. Additionally, two of the Group’s 17 Directors are nominated by TCCC. The Group and TCCC engage in a variety of marketing programmes to promote the sale of TCCC products in territories in which the Group operates. The Group and TCCC operate under an incidence based concentrate pricing model and funding programme across most territories, the terms of which are tied to the bottling agreements. In certain API territories, the Group operates under a fixed price model with marketing rebates and support. TCCC makes discretionary marketing contributions under shared marketing agreements to CCEP’s operating subsidiaries. Amounts to be paid to the Group by TCCC under the programmes are generally determined annually and are periodically reassessed as the programmes progress. Under the bottling agreements, TCCC is under no obligation to participate in the programmes or continue past levels of funding in the future. The amounts paid and terms of similar programmes with other franchises may differ. Marketing support funding programmes granted to the Group provide financial support principally based on product sales or on the completion of stated requirements and are intended to offset a portion of the costs of the programmes. Payments from TCCC for marketing programmes to promote the sale of products are classified as a reduction in cost of sales, unless the presumption that the payment is a reduction in the price of the franchisors’ products can be overcome. Payments for marketing programmes are recognised as product is sold.

Note 21 Income taxes Current tax Current tax for the period includes amounts expected to be payable on taxable income in the period together with any adjustments to taxes payable in respect of previous periods, and is determined based on the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred tax Deferred tax is determined by identifying the temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date. Deferred tax for the period includes origination and reversal of temporary differences, remeasurements of deferred tax balances and adjustments in respect of prior periods.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised, except: • When the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; or • In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, branches and associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. Income tax is recognised in the consolidated income statement. Income tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or in equity. 2021, 2020 and 2019 results The following table summarises the major components of income tax expense for the periods presented: Current tax: Current tax charge Adjustment in respect of current tax from prior periods Total current tax Deferred tax: Relating to the origination and reversal of temporary differences Adjustment in respect of deferred income tax from prior periods Relating to changes in tax rates or the imposition of new taxes Total deferred tax Income tax charge per the consolidated income statement 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 31 December 2019 € million € million € million 323 (53) 270 6 (9) 127 124 394 230 3 233 (73) (6) 43 (36) 330 (20) 310 45 6 3 54 197 364 Strategic ReportCoca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F 168 168 Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Financial Statements Other Information Other Information Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc I 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F Notes to the consolidated financial statements CONTINUED The following table summarises the taxes on items recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI) and directly within equity for the periods presented: 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 31 December 2019 € million € million € million Accounting profit before tax from continuing operations Taxes charged/(credited) to OCI: Deferred tax on net gain/loss on revaluation of cash flow hedges Deferred tax on net gain/loss on pension plan remeasurements Current tax on net gain/loss on pension plan remeasurements Total taxes charged/(credited) to OCI Taxes charged/(credited) to equity: Deferred tax charge/(credit): share-based compensation Current tax charge/(credit): share-based compensation Total taxes charged/(credited) to equity 63 63 1 127 (3) — (3) (4) (16) — (20) 1 (3) (2) 2 (12) — (10) (2) (4) (6) The effective tax rate was 28.5%, 28.3% and 25.0% for the years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively. The parent company of the Group is a UK company. Accordingly, the following tables provide reconciliations of the Group’s income tax expense at the UK statutory tax rate to the actual income tax expense for the periods presented: Tax expense at the UK statutory rate Taxation of foreign operations, net(A) Non-deductible expense items for tax purposes Rate and law change impact, net(B)(C)(D) Deferred taxes not recognised Adjustment in respect of prior periods(E) Total provision for income taxes 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 31 December 2019 € million € million € million 1,382 695 1,454 262 72 2 127 (7) (62) 394 132 23 6 43 (4) (3) 197 276 89 4 3 6 (14) 364 (A) This reflects the impact, net of income tax contingencies, of having operations outside the UK, which are taxed at rates other than the statutory UK rate of 19% (2020: 19%, 2019: 19%). In prior periods, this included the benefit of some income being fully or partially exempt from income taxes due to various operating and financing activities. (B) In 2021, the UK enacted a law change that increased its tax rate to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023. The Group recognised a deferred tax expense of €123 million to reflect the impact of this change. (C) In 2021, the Netherlands enacted a law change that increased its tax rate to 25,8% with effect from 1 January 2022. The Group recognised a deferred tax expense of €2 million to reflect the impact of this change. (D) In 2021, Indonesia enacted a law change that retained its tax rate of 22% with effect from 1 January 2022, reversing a previously enacted decrease to 20%. The Group recognised a deferred tax expense of €2 million to reflect the impact of this change. (E) In 2021, the prior year adjustment is principally due to the reassessment of our uncertain tax positions and release of tax reserves that are no longer required primarily due to expiration of statute of limitations.

This includes net deferred tax liabilities of €1,176 million related to the Acquisition. Other net deferred tax liabilities as at 31 December 2021 include a €33 million liability arising on assets capitalised under IFRS but expensed for tax, and a €22 million liability related to purchase accounting on earlier transactions in an acquired entity. Unrecognised tax items The utilisation of tax losses and temporary differences carried forward, for which no deferred tax asset is currently recognised, is subject to the resolution of tax authority enquiries and the achievement of positive income in periods which are beyond the Group’s current business plan, and therefore this utilisation is uncertain. In respect of unused tax losses and other attributes carried forward, deferred tax assets of €466 million, €463 million and €493 million have not been recognised as at 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively. As at 31 December 2021, the net recognised tax losses carried forward totalled €14 million. Of these, €2 million expire between 2026 and 2029. As at 31 December 2021, the Group recognised tax credits carried forward totalling €12 million, which expire between 2043 and 2051. As at 31 December 2021, no deferred tax liability has been recognised in respect of €207 million of unremitted earnings in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.

Due to their nature, such proceedings and tax matters involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, settlements between affected parties and/or governmental actions. The probability of outcome is assessed and accrued as a liability and/or disclosed, as appropriate. The Group maintains provisions for uncertainty relating to these tax matters that it believes appropriately reflect its risk. As at 31 December 2021, €138 million of these provisions is included in current tax liabilities and the remainder is included in non-current tax liabilities. Share options Share options (1) are granted with exercise prices equal to or greater than the fair value of the Group’s stock on the date of grant, (2) generally vest in three annual tranches over a period of 36 months and (3) expire 10 years from the date of grant. Generally, when options are exercised, new Shares will be issued rather than issuing treasury Shares, if available. No options were granted during the years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019. All options outstanding as at 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019 were valued and had exercise prices in US dollars. The Group reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of each reporting period and adjusts them based on changing facts and circumstances. Due to the uncertainty associated with tax matters, it is possible that at some future date, liabilities resulting from audits or litigation could vary significantly from the Group’s provisions. The Group has received tax assessments in certain jurisdictions for potential tax related to the Group’s purchases of concentrate. The value of the Group’s concentrate purchases is significant, and therefore, the tax assessments are substantial. The Group strongly believes the application of tax has no technical merit based on applicable tax law, and its tax position would be sustained. Accordingly, the Group has not recorded a tax liability for these assessments, and is vigorously defending its position against these assessments. Note 22 Share-based payment plans The Group has established share-based payment plans that provide for the granting of share options and restricted stock units, some with performance and/or market conditions, to certain executive and management level employees. These awards are designed to align the interests of its employees with the interests of its shareholders. The Group recognises compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value for all share-based payment awards that are expected to vest. Expense is generally recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award.

The weighted average Share price during the years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019 was US$55.68, US$42.71 and US$52.73, respectively.

When some or all of a provision is expected to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the consolidated income statement, net of any reimbursement. Asset retirement obligations are estimated at the inception of a lease or contract, for which a liability is recognised. A corresponding asset is also created and depreciated. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and Performance Share Units (PSUs) RSU awards entitle the participant to accrue dividends, which are paid in cash only if the RSUs vest. They do not have voting rights. Upon vesting, the participant is granted one Share for each RSU. They generally vest subject to continued employment for a period of 36 months. Unvested RSUs are restricted as to disposition and subject to forfeiture. There were 0.1 million, 0.2 million and 0.3 million unvested RSUs outstanding with a weighted average grant date fair value of US$43.29, US$41.77 and US$42.06 as at 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively. PSU awards entitle the participant to the same benefits as RSUs. They generally vest subject to continued employment for a period of 36 months and the attainment of certain performance targets. There were 1.3 million, 1.1 million and 1.2 million of unvested PSUs with weighted average grant date fair values of US$43.07, US$40.45 and US$42.53 outstanding as at 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, respectively. The PSUs granted in 2019 are subject to two equally weighted performance conditions: compound annual growth rate of earnings per share (EPS), and return on invested capital (ROIC), both measured over a three year period. The PSUs granted in 2020 and 2021 are subject to performance condition of absolute EPS and ROIC, each with a 42.5% weighting. An additional sustainability metric, focused on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (CO2e) across our entire value chain, was included for PSUs 2020 and 2021, with a 15% weighting. As a result of COVID-19 and the Acquisition, the performance conditions of 2020 PSUs in respect of EPS and ROIC were modified during the year. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged. The modification did not result in any change of fair value of the awards. For the 2019 PSUs, subsequent to year end, the Remuneration Committee considered a holistic assessment of performance over the three year performance period and elected to exercise discretion for the final vesting level.

Restructuring provision Restructuring provisions are recognised only when the Group has a constructive obligation, which is when a detailed formal plan identifies the business or part of the business concerned, the location and number of employees affected, a detailed estimate of the associated costs and an appropriate timeline, and the employees affected have been notified of the plan’s main features. These provisions are expected to be resolved by the time the related programme is substantively complete. Refer to Note 18 for further details regarding our restructuring programmes, including expected completion date, total costs incurred and expected costs to be incurred. Decommissioning provisions Decommissioning liabilities relate to contractual or legal obligations to pay for asset retirement costs. The liabilities represent both the reinstatement obligations when the Group is contractually obligated to pay for the cost of retiring leased buildings and the costs for collection, treatment, reuse, recovery and environmentally sound disposal of cold drink equipment. Specific to cold drink equipment obligations, the Group is subject to, and operates in accordance with, the EU Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Under the WEEE, companies that put electrical and electronic equipment (such as cold drink equipment) on the EU market are responsible for the costs of collection, treatment, recovery and disposal of their own products. Where applicable, the WEEE provision estimate is calculated using assumptions including disposal cost per unit, average equipment age and the inflation rate, to determine the appropriate accrual amount. The period over which the decommissioning liabilities on leased buildings and cold drink equipment will be settled ranges from 1 to 30 years and 2 to 9 years, respectively. Contingencies Legal proceedings and tax matters The Group is involved in various legal proceedings and tax matters and is routinely under audit by tax authorities in the ordinary course of business. Due to their nature, such legal proceedings and tax matters involve inherent uncertainties including, but not limited to, court rulings, settlements between affected parties and/or governmental actions. The probability of loss for such contingencies is assessed and accrued as a liability and/or disclosed, as appropriate. On 24 July 2020, a CCL subsidiary Associated Products & Distribution Proprietary Limited (APD), was joined to proceedings in the Supreme Court of Queensland between a Glencore joint venture and the State of Queensland, whereby APD’s entitlement to royalties, from its sub-surface strata and associated mineral rights, has been challenged by the State of Queensland. Since 2014, the Group has received approximately €50 million in royalties. Since the proceedings commenced in 2020, royalty payments have been paid directly to court. The proceedings remain ongoing and the Group intends to defend the matter robustly. Guarantees In connection with ongoing litigation in certain territories, guarantees of approximately €340 million have been issued. The Group was required to issue these guarantees to satisfy potential obligations arising from such litigation. In addition, we have approximately €35 million of guarantees issued to third parties through the normal course of business. The guarantees have various terms, and the amounts represent the maximum potential future payments that we could be required to make under the guarantees. No significant additional liabilities in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are expected to arise from guarantees issued.

Purchase agreements Total purchase commitments were €0.2 billion as at 31 December 2021. This amount represents non-cancellable purchase agreements with various suppliers that are enforceable and legally binding, and that specify a fixed or minimum quantity that we must purchase. All purchases made under these agreements have standard quality and performance criteria. In addition to these amounts, the Group has outstanding capital expenditure purchase orders of approximately €95 million as at 31 December 2021. The Group also has other purchase orders raised in the ordinary course of business which are settled in a reasonably short period of time. Lease agreements As at 31 December 2021, the Group had committed to a number of lease agreements that have not yet commenced. The minimum lease payments for these lease agreements totalled €40 million. Note 24 Other current assets and assets held for sale Other current assets The following table summarises the Group’s other current assets as at the dates presented: Other current assets Prepayments VAT receivables Miscellaneous receivables Total other current assets 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 € million € million 101 16 154 271 61 34 109 204 Assets held for sale Non-current assets, or disposal groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that they would be recovered through sale rather than continuous use. In order for a sale to be considered highly probable, all of the following criteria needs to be met: management is committed to a plan to sell the assets, an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan has been initiated, the assets are actively marketed at reasonable price, and the sale is expected to be completed within one year from the date of classification. Such assets, or disposal groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sale. Once classified as held for sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortised or depreciated, and any equity accounted investee is no longer equity accounted. Assets classified as held for sale as at 31 December 2021 totalled €223 million and are predominantly comprised of certain non-alcoholic ready to drink brands that were acquired as part of the Acquisition (See Note 4 for further details). As at 31 December 2021, the Group is in the process of selling these brands to TCCC. The sale price is expected to approximate the provisional fair value assessed at the acquisition date. We expect the sale to be consummated during the first half of 2022. Refer to Note 27 for further details. Note 25 Other non-current assets The following table summarises the Group’s other non-current assets as at the dates presented: Other non-current assets VAT receivables Retirement benefit surplus (Note 16) Investments Other Total other non-current assets 31 December 2021 31 December 2020 € million € million 214 194 40 86 534 208 43 26 60 337 VAT receivables As at 31 December 2021, included within other non-current assets, the Group has a VAT receivable of €214 million, relating to the dispute that began in 2014 between the Spanish tax authorities and the regional tax authorities of Bizkaia (Basque Region) as to the responsibility for refunding the VAT to CCEP. Under relevant tax laws in Spain, conflicts between jurisdictions are ruled by a special Arbitration Board and the refund of the VAT is mandated following the resolution of the issue at the Arbitration Board. However, to date, the Arbitration Board has not ruled on the issue and Spanish legislation offers limited mechanisms for a taxpayer to force the expedition of matters before the Arbitration Board. The outstanding VAT receivable as at 31 December 2021 remains classified as non-current due to the continued delay in the resolution of the matter by the Arbitration Board. We believe it remains a certainty that the amount due plus interest will be refunded to CCEP once the Arbitration Board rules. Investments Joint ventures are undertakings in which the Group has an interest and which are jointly controlled by the Group and one or more other parties. Associates are undertakings where the Group has an investment in which it does not have control or joint control but can exercise significant influence. Interests in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method and are stated in the consolidated balance sheet at cost, adjusted for the movement in the Group’s share of their net assets and liabilities. The Group’s share of the profit or loss after tax of joint ventures and associates is included in the Group’s consolidated income statement as non-operating items. Where the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in the equity accounted investee, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced to zero and the recognition of further losses is discontinued, except to the extent that the Group has an obligation to make payments on behalf of the investee.

Financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures to minimise the uncertainties these risks create on the Group’s future cash flows. Such policies are developed and approved by the Group’s treasury and commodities risk committee, through the authority delegated to it by the Board. Market risk Market risk represents the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices and includes interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as commodity price risk. Market risk affects outstanding borrowings, as well as derivative financial instruments. Interest rates The Group is subject to interest rate risk for its outstanding borrowings. To manage interest rate risk, the Group maintains a significant proportion of its borrowings at fixed rates. Approximately 95% and 95% of the Group’s interest bearing borrowings were comprised of fixed rate borrowings at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, respectively. As part of the Acquisition, the Group acquired interest rate swaps used to hedge its interest rate risk associated with CCL related borrowings. As at 31 December 2021, the notional value of the Group’s interest rate swaps was €291 million. If interest rates on the Group’s floating rate debt were adjusted by 1% for the years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Group’s finance costs and pre-tax equity would change on an annual basis by approximately €7 million, €2 million and €4 million, respectively. This amount is determined by calculating the effect of a hypothetical interest rate change on the Group’s floating rate debt. This estimate does not include the effects of other actions to mitigate this risk or changes in the Group’s financial structure. Currency exchange rates The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in currency exchange rates relates primarily to its operating activities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, Euro. To manage currency exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised monetary assets and liabilities, foreign currency forward and option contracts with external third parties are used. Typically, up to 80% of anticipated cash flow exposures in each major foreign currency for the next calendar year are hedged using a combination of forward and option contracts with third parties. The Group is also exposed to the risk of changes in currency exchange rates between US dollar and Euro relating to its US denominated borrowings. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s profit before income taxes and pre-tax equity as a result of changes in the value of outstanding debt instruments due to reasonable movements in the US dollar against the Euro, with all other variables held constant. This does not take into account the effects of derivative instruments used to manage exposure to this risk. Movements in foreign currencies related to the Group’s other financial instruments do not have a material impact on profit before income taxes or pre-tax equity. As part of the Acquisition, the Group acquired borrowings denominated in Australian dollars, and borrowings denominated in other currencies swapped into Australian dollars using cross currency swaps. These Australian borrowings are not currently swapped into Euro and are translated as part of the currency translation of the net assets of the API business units. Effect on profit before tax and pre-tax equity Year ended 31 December 2021 Year ended 31 December 2020 Year ended 31 December 2019 Change in currency rate € strengthens against US$ € weakens against US$ % 10 10 10 € million € million 176 33 87 (176) (36) (95) Commodity price risk The competitive marketplace in which the Group operates may limit its ability to recover increased costs through higher prices. As such, the Group is subject to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations, principally related to its purchases of aluminium, PET (plastic, including recycled PET, LDPE), ethylene, sugar and vehicle fuel. When possible, exposure to this risk is managed primarily through the use of supplier pricing agreements, which enable the Group to establish the purchase price for certain commodities. Certain suppliers restrict the Group’s ability to hedge prices through supplier agreements. As a result, commodity hedging programmes are entered into and generally designated as hedging instruments. Refer to Note 13 for more information. Typically, up to 80% of the anticipated commodity transaction exposures for the next calendar year are hedged using a combination of forward and option contracts executed with third parties. The Group estimates that a 10% change in the market price of these commodities over the current market prices would affect operating profit during the next 12 months by approximately €116 million. This does not take into account the effects of derivative instruments used to manage exposure to this risk or pricing agreements in place. Credit risk The Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of its derivative financial instruments. Strict counterparty credit guidelines are maintained and only financial institutions that are investment grade or better are acceptable counterparties. Counterparty credit risk is continuously monitored and numerous counterparties are used to minimise exposure to potential defaults. Where required collateral is paid between the counterparties to minimise counterparty risk. The maximum credit risk exposure for each derivative financial instrument is the carrying amount of the derivative. Included in trade and other payables is €46 million (2020: nil) related to collateral received from counterparties and included in other current assets is €4 million (2020: nil) related to collateral paid to counterparties. Credit is extended in the form of payment terms for trade to customers of the Group, consisting of retailers, wholesalers and other customers, generally without requiring collateral, based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. While the Group has a concentration of credit risk in the retail sector, this risk is mitigated due to the diverse nature of the customers the Group serves, including, but not limited to, their type, geographic location, size and beverage channel. Depending on the risk profile of certain customers, we may also seek bank guarantees. Collections of receivables are dependent on each individual customer’s financial condition and sales adjustments granted. Trade accounts receivable are carried at net realisable value. Typically, accounts receivable have terms of 30 to 60 days and do not bear interest. Exposure to losses on receivables is monitored, and balances are adjusted for expected credit losses. Expected credit losses are determined by: (1) evaluating the ageing of receivables; (2) analysing the history of adjustments; and (3) reviewing high risk customers. Credit insurance on a portion of the accounts receivable balance is also carried.

The Group’s sources of capital include, but are not limited to, cash flows from operations, public and private issuances of debt and equity securities and bank borrowings. The Group believes its operating cash flow, cash on hand and available short- term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund its working capital requirements, scheduled borrowing payments, interest payments, capital expenditures, benefit plan contributions, income tax obligations and dividends to its shareholders. Counterparties and instruments used to hold cash and cash equivalents are continuously assessed, with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity. Based on information currently available, the Group does not believe it is at significant risk of default by its counterparties. Capital management The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure a strong credit rating and appropriate capital ratios are maintained to support the Group’s business and maximise shareholder value. The Group’s credit ratings are periodically reviewed by rating agencies. Currently, the Group’s long-term ratings from Moody’s and Fitch are Baa1 and BBB+, respectively. Changes in the operating results, cash flows or financial position could impact the ratings assigned by the various rating agencies. The credit rating can be materially influenced by a number of factors including, but not limited to, acquisitions, investment decisions, capital management activities of TCCC and/or changes in the credit rating of TCCC. Should the credit ratings be adjusted downward, the Group may incur higher costs to borrow, which could have a material impact on the financial condition and results of operations. The capital structure is managed and, as appropriate, adjustments are made in light of changes in economic conditions and the Group’s financial policy. The Group monitors its operating performance in the context of targeted financial leverage by comparing the ratio of net debt with adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is calculated as being the net of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, borrowings, fair value of hedging instruments related to borrowings and financial assets/liabilities related to borrowings. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA and adjusting for items impacting comparability. Refer to Note 12 for the presentation of fair values for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities and Note 13 for an outline of how the Group utilises derivative financial instruments to mitigate its exposure to certain market risks associated with its ongoing operations. Refer to the Strategic Report included within this Integrated Report for disclosure of strategic, commercial and operational risk relevant to the Group. The Group has amounts available for borrowing under a €1.95 billion multi currency credit facility (2020: €1.50 billion) with a syndicate of 13 banks. This credit facility matures in 2025 and is for general corporate purposes, including serving as a backstop to its commercial paper programme and supporting the Group’s working capital needs. Based on information currently available, the Group has no indication that the financial institutions participating in this facility would be unable to fulfil their commitments as at the date of these financial statements.

The Group’s activities expose it to several financial risks including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures to minimise the uncertainties these risks create on the In February 2022, the Group entered into asset sale arrangements with TCCC pursuant to which, the Group agreed to Group’s future cash flows. Such policies are developed and approved by the Group’s treasury and commodities risk sell certain non-alcoholic ready to drink brands predominantly available in Australia and New Zealand, that were committee, through the authority delegated to it by the Board. acquired as part of the Acquisition, for a total consideration approximating A$275 million. These brands are classified as assets held for sale in our consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021 (Refer to Note 24). We Market risk expect to substantially complete the transaction during the first half of 2022. The Group is also in a process of executing Market risk represents the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to commercial agreements with TCCC to facilitate ongoing manufacturing, distributing and/or selling activities pertaining to changes in market prices and includes interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as commodity price risk. these brands. Market risk affects outstanding borrowings, as well as derivative financial instruments. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, we have seen significant macro-economic uncertainty as a result of the conflict Interest rates in Ukraine. The scale and duration remains uncertain and could impact our earnings and cash flow. The Group is subject to interest rate risk for its outstanding borrowings. To manage interest rate risk, the Group maintains a significant proportion of its borrowings at fixed rates. Approximately 95% and 95% of the Group’s interest bearing borrowings were comprised of fixed rate borrowings at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, respectively. As part of the Acquisition, the Group acquired interest rate swaps used to hedge its interest rate risk associated with CCL related borrowings. As at 31 December 2021, the notional value of the Group’s interest rate swaps was €291 million. If interest rates on the Group’s floating rate debt were adjusted by 1% for the years ended 31 December 2021, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2019, the Group’s finance costs and pre-tax equity would change on an annual basis by approximately €7 million, €2 million and €4 million, respectively. This amount is determined by calculating the effect of a hypothetical interest rate change on the Group’s floating rate debt. This estimate does not include the effects of other actions to mitigate this risk or changes in the Group’s financial structure. Currency exchange rates The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in currency exchange rates relates primarily to its operating activities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, Euro. To manage currency exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised monetary assets and liabilities, foreign currency forward and option contracts with external third parties are used. Typically, up to 80% of anticipated cash flow exposures in each major foreign currency for the next calendar year are hedged using a combination of forward and option contracts with third parties. The Group is also exposed to the risk of changes in currency exchange rates between US dollar and Euro relating to its US denominated borrowings. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s profit before income taxes and pre-tax equity as a result of changes in the value of outstanding debt instruments due to reasonable movements in the US dollar against the Euro, with all other variables held constant. This does not take into account the effects of derivative instruments used to manage exposure to this risk. Movements in foreign currencies related to the Group’s other financial instruments do not have a material impact on profit before income taxes or pre-tax equity. As part of the Acquisition, the Group acquired borrowings denominated in Australian dollars, and borrowings denominated in other currencies swapped into Australian dollars using cross currency swaps. These Australian borrowings are not currently swapped into Euro and are translated as part of the currency translation of the net assets of the API business units. Effect on profit before tax and pre-tax equity Year ended 31 December 2021 Year ended 31 December 2020 Year ended 31 December 2019 Change in currency rate € strengthens against US$ € weakens against US$ % 10 10 10 € million € million 176 33 87 (176) (36) (95) Commodity price risk The competitive marketplace in which the Group operates may limit its ability to recover increased costs through higher prices. As such, the Group is subject to market risk with respect to commodity price fluctuations, principally related to its purchases of aluminium, PET (plastic, including recycled PET, LDPE), ethylene, sugar and vehicle fuel. When possible, exposure to this risk is managed primarily through the use of supplier pricing agreements, which enable the Group to establish the purchase price for certain commodities. Certain suppliers restrict the Group’s ability to hedge prices through supplier agreements. As a result, commodity hedging programmes are entered into and generally designated as hedging instruments. Refer to Note 13 for more information. Typically, up to 80% of the anticipated commodity transaction exposures for the next calendar year are hedged using a combination of forward and option contracts executed with third parties. The Group estimates that a 10% change in the market price of these commodities over the current market prices would affect operating profit during the next 12 months by approximately €116 million. This does not take into account the effects of derivative instruments used to manage exposure to this risk or pricing agreements in place. Credit risk The Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of its derivative financial instruments. Strict counterparty credit guidelines are maintained and only financial institutions that are investment grade or better are acceptable counterparties. Counterparty credit risk is continuously monitored and numerous counterparties are used to minimise exposure to potential defaults. Where required collateral is paid between the counterparties to minimise counterparty risk. The maximum credit risk exposure for each derivative financial instrument is the carrying amount of the derivative. Included in trade and other payables is €46 million (2020: nil) related to collateral received from counterparties and included in other current assets is €4 million (2020: nil) related to collateral paid to counterparties. Credit is extended in the form of payment terms for trade to customers of the Group, consisting of retailers, wholesalers and other customers, generally without requiring collateral, based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition. While the Group has a concentration of credit risk in the retail sector, this risk is mitigated due to the diverse nature of the customers the Group serves, including, but not limited to, their type, geographic location, size and beverage channel. Depending on the risk profile of certain customers, we may also seek bank guarantees. Collections of receivables are dependent on each individual customer’s financial condition and sales adjustments granted. Trade accounts receivable are carried at net realisable value. Typically, accounts receivable have terms of 30 to 60 days and do not bear interest. Exposure to losses on receivables is monitored, and balances are adjusted for expected credit losses. Expected credit losses are determined by: (1) evaluating the ageing of receivables; (2) analysing the history of adjustments; and (3) reviewing high risk customers. Credit insurance on a portion of the accounts receivable balance is also carried.

In addition the Company engages in general corporate activities such as third party borrowings. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the U.K. adopted International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’). The financial statements were approved and signed by Damian Gammell, Chief Executive Officer on 15 March 2022 having been duly authorised to do so by the Board of Directors. As described in the accounting policies in Note 2, the financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain items measured at fair value. Those accounting policies have been applied consistently in all periods. The functional and presentation currency of the Company is euros and amounts are rounded to the nearest million. Note 2 Significant accounting policies The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made in applying the Company’s accounting policies were applied consistently across the annual periods. Investments Investments in subsidiaries are initially recognised at cost and carried net of any impairment. Investments are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those investments may not be recoverable. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses on continuing operations are recognised in the income statement in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. For assets where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, not to exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment losses been recognised for the asset or CGU in prior years. A reversal of impairment loss is recognised immediately in the income statement. Share-based payments The Company has established share-based payment plans that provide for the granting of share options and restricted stock units, some with performance and/or market conditions, to certain executive and management level employees that are employed by the Company and its subsidiaries. These awards are designed to align the interests of its employees with the interests of its shareholders. The Company recognises compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value for all share-based payment awards that are expected to vest. Expense is generally recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. As per IAS 27 the Company equity settles share-based payments for employees of subsidiary entities and accounts for the settlement as an addition to the cost of its investment in the employing subsidiary. Upon vesting, the Company recharges the costs of the share-based awards to the employing subsidiary and records a reduction of the investment. Financial instruments (i) Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets within the scope of IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments” are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. All financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial assets include cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables, loan notes, and derivative financial instruments. Subsequent measurement The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows: Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term. This category includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in finance income or finance cost in the statement of comprehensive income.

Such assets are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (EIR) method, less impairment. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisation is included in finance income in the statement of comprehensive income. Losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement in other operating expenses. (ii) Financial liabilities Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, plus directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent measurement The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows: Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss includes financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Interest bearing loans and borrowings Obligations for loans and borrowings are recognised when the Company becomes party to the related contracts and are measured initially at the fair value of consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses arising on the repurchase, settlement or other cancellation of liabilities are recognised respectively in finance income and finance cost. Trade and other payables Trade and other payable amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided prior to the end of the reporting period which are unpaid as of the balance sheet date. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. Trade and other payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, as applicable. Management fees As the ultimate parent entity of the Group, the Company is involved in the provision of intragroup services to certain subsidiaries. Specifically, the Company’s employees are above-market roles, who provide services related but not limited to strategy, people and culture, finance, legal, and business process and technology. In addition, certain intragroup services are charged to the Company by its subsidiaries. Management fees revenue for intragroup services provided to subsidiaries is recorded in Revenue. Costs incurred by subsidiaries are recharged to the Company and are recorded in administrative expenses in the statement of comprehensive income. Note 3 Dividend income Dividends are recognised when the right to receive the dividend is established. During the year the Company has received the following dividends: Bottling Holdings Europe Limited WIH UK Ltd Limited Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Holdings US Inc Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Deutschland GmbH GR Bottling Holdings UK Limited Total Note 4 Finance income/(costs) Interest income Total finance income Interest expense Amortisation of debt discount Total finance costs 2021 2020 € million € million — — — — — — 262 245 242 14 12 775 2021 2020 € million € million 15 15 (131) (2) (133) 24 24 (108) (3) (111) This page does not form part of the Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2021 as filed with the SEC.

Dividends Dividends are recorded within the financial statements in the period in which they are declared. Please refer to Note 17 in the consolidated financial statements. Note 9 Financial risk management Financial risk factors, objectives and policies The Company’s activities expose it to several financial risks, market risk and liquidity risk. Financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures to minimise the uncertainties these risks create on the Company’s future cash flows. Such policies are developed and approved by the Group’s treasury and commodities risk committee, through the authority delegated to it by the Board. Market risk Market risk represents the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices and includes interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk such as commodity price risk. Market risk affects outstanding borrowings, as well as derivative financial instruments. Interest rates The Company is subject to interest rate risk for its outstanding borrowings. To manage interest rate risk, the Company maintains a significant proportion of its borrowings at fixed rates. The Company has not entered into any interest rate swap agreements or other such instruments to hedge its interest rate risk during the periods presented. Currency exchange rates The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in currency exchange rates relates primarily to its operating activities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, euro. To manage currency exchange risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised monetary assets and liabilities, foreign currency forward and option contracts with external third parties are used. Such cash flow exposures are hedged using a combination of forward and option contracts with third parties. The Company is exposed to the risk of changes in currency exchange rates between US dollar and euro relating to its US denominated borrowings. In the statement of financial position, non-current derivative assets represent the fair value (level 2) of the cross currency swap of the USD denominated debt to EUR. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is actively managed to ensure that the Company has sufficient funds to satisfy its commitments. The Company’s sources of capital include, but are not limited to, dividend income, public and private issuances of debt and equity securities and bank borrowings. The Company believes its operating cash flow, cash on hand and available short-term and long-term capital resources are sufficient to fund its working capital requirements, scheduled borrowing payments, interest payments, capital expenditures, benefit plan contributions, income tax obligations and dividends to its shareholders. Counterparties and instruments used to hold cash and cash equivalents are continuously assessed, with a focus on preservation of capital and liquidity. Based on information currently available, the Company does not believe it is at significant risk of default by its counterparties.

These risks may change over time. Geodemographic COVID-19 could adversely impact our business and financial results. Global or regional health pandemics impact our business and financial results. COVID-19 is a global stress event that is impacting the entire CCEP value chain, causing disruption that requires well thought out business continuity plans and response strategies. COVID-19 can cause high levels of employee absence, and requires employees to be flexible with working from home when lockdowns are announced in our territories. In addition, there could be widespread supplier issues, including risks of access to raw materials, specialist parts and labour being impacted due to cross border restrictions on travel and movement of goods and services; the closure of entire customer sectors (e.g. leisure, restaurants, pubs and bars); and changing consumer habits. Our material risk landscape may change rapidly due to the emergence of new COVID-19 variants and the associated response from governments and societies e.g. vaccine mandates and lockdowns. Such events could have a material adverse impact on our sales volume, cost of sales, earnings, and overall financial condition. Global or regional catastrophic events could negatively impact our business and financial results. Our business may be affected by war, armed hostility and terrorism, major information technology (IT) outages and large scale natural disasters especially those occurring in our territories or other major industrialised countries. Other catastrophic events that could affect our business include the loss of senior employees, shortages of key raw materials or widespread outbreaks of infectious disease such as COVID-19. Such events could have a material adverse impact on our sales volume, cost of sales, earnings, inflation, volatility, prices and availability of commodities, energy and other inputs as well as our overall financial condition. Packaging Waste and pollution, and the legal and regulatory responses to these issues, could adversely impact our business. Waste and pollution, particularly plastic and packaging waste, is a global issue affecting our business. Although the vast majority of our packaging is fully recyclable, it is not always collected for recycling across our territories, and can end up as land or marine litter. Concern about this, and the environmental impacts of our packaging, has led to laws and regulations that aim to increase the collection and recycling of our packs, reduce packaging, through limiting the use of single use plastic, introduce quotas for refillable packaging, reduce waste and littering, and introduce specific packaging design requirements. For example, circular economy legislation has been introduced in France that requires a 50% reduction in the number of single use plastic bottles by 2030 and the phasing out of single use plastic packaging entirely by 2040. In Great Britain (GB) there are various regulatory proposals related to packaging, including the introduction of deposit return schemes (DRS) and a move towards extended producer responsibility. In Spain, draft legislation would require a 50% reduction in plastic beverage bottles and the introduction of refillable quotas. In Indonesia, the second largest contributor to marine plastic debris, the Government has launched a plan to double plastic waste collection by 2025, reduce marine plastic debris by 70% and reduce waste at source by 30%. If we fail to engage sufficiently with stakeholders to address concerns about packaging and recycling, or we are not able to adapt our business to new legislation and regulation, it could result in higher costs through packaging taxes, producer responsibility reform, damage to corporate reputation or investor confidence and a reduction of consumer acceptance of our products and packaging. New recycling technologies may not work or may not be developed quickly enough. We are exploring innovative ways to achieve the packaging targets that we have set ourselves and those imposed by legislation and regulation, for example by using plastic that has been recycled via enhanced/chemical recycling technologies. There is a risk that these new technologies may not be developed quickly enough or may not work as well as intended, which could limit our ability to mitigate the impact of restrictions on single use plastics. Also, these technologies may be more expensive than current solutions, potentially reducing our profitability. Cyber and social engineering attacks and IT infrastructure Cyber attacks, or a deficiency in CCEP’s cyber security or a customer’s or supplier’s cyber security, could negatively impact our business. As our reliance on IT increases, so will the risks posed to our internal and third party systems from cyber incidents. A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our data or information systems. It could involve gaining unauthorised access to systems, either unintentionally or through an intentional attack (such as a war activities, state sponsored cyber terrorism, criminal attack, hacking or a computer virus), to disrupt operations, corrupt data, steal confidential information, achieve financial gain or threaten our Company or employees. Our business processes require high levels of integration between our IT systems and the systems of third parties (suppliers, customers, business partners). A cyber incident at any of those third parties can either spread to CCEP’s systems or indirectly have a negative impact on CCEP’s ability to operate. Companies that CCEP invests in, or that CCEP acquires, add to the risk exposure for cyber and social engineering attacks of our Company. Any cyber incident at those organisations can have a negative impact (operationally, financially, reputationally) on CCEP. A cyber incident could disrupt our operations, compromise or corrupt data, or damage our brand image. Like many companies, hackers target us, our customers and suppliers with social engineering attacks. While we have procedures and training in place to protect us against these types of attacks, they can be successful, which could also disrupt our operations, compromise or corrupt data, or damage our brand reputation. All of these outcomes could negatively impact our financial results.

Geopolitical concerns are higher than last year, particularly with the war in Europe, the refugee crisis and other effects. Our performance is closely linked to the economic cycle in the countries, regions and cities where we operate. Normally, strong economic growth in these areas results in greater demand for our products, while slow economic growth or economic contraction decreases demand and drives down sales. For example, adverse economic conditions decrease individuals’ disposable income and propensity to consume, leading to the purchase of cheaper private label brands, or avoiding buying beverage products altogether. Those consumers who do continue to buy our products may shift away from higher margin products and packages. A weak economic climate could also increase the likelihood of customer delinquencies and bankruptcies, which would increase the risk of accounts being deemed uncollectable. For these reasons a slowing economy would likely adversely impact our business, operational results, financial condition and share price. Although economic growth, globally, has rebounded strongly from the severe GDP declines that we witnessed at the start of the pandemic, the war in Europe is likely to increase uncertainty and volatility. Much uncertainty remains relating to future growth, employment and inflation including labour cost. These factors could directly impact our business, operational results, financial conditions and share price. Monetary support from Central banks and significantly higher fiscal spending from governments has been instrumental in limiting the short term economic impact of COVID-19. If this support is not carefully unwound, it could result in widening regional economic disparities and potentially in sovereign debt concerns in certain territories. Whether real or perceived, this could result in the availability of capital being limited, which may restrict our liquidity. Even in the absence of a market downturn, CCEP is exposed to substantial risk from volatility in areas such as consumer spending and capital markets conditions, which may adversely affect the business and economic environment. This in turn may adversely affect our business performance and share price. Beyond the international economic situation, political risk stemming from increased polarisation is ever present, with the threat of extremist parties in certain regions. This could affect the economic situation in our territories, which could negatively impact our business and financial results. Other key external economic and political factors also have the potential to specifically impact API including economic and political instability in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the impact on foreign currency liquidity, tariffs and protectionism, geopolitical turbulence in the form of US-China trade wars and trade tension between Australia and China. Low economic growth might be compounded in economies overly exposed to the tourism sector (e.g. Fiji, Bali and NZ to a degree) due to both the people’s ability to travel depending on COVID-19 border restrictions and willingness to travel once borders are re-opened. API has an exposure to PNG liquidity risks and the associated impact on short-term profitability. Access to foreign exchange in PNG is limited/restricted due to supply/demand imbalance of hard currency. The PNG Kina (PGK) is considered to be overvalued. If the PNG Government requires assistance from the International Monetary Fund to fund their budget deficit, they could require the Papua New Guinean Kina to be devalued which could significantly impact API’s financial results upon translation of Kina earnings and balance sheet into Australian dollars. Increases in costs, limitation of supplies, or lower than expected quality of raw materials could harm our financial results. The cost of our raw materials, ingredients, packaging materials or energy could increase over time. If that happens, and if we are unable to pass the increased costs on to our customers in the form of higher prices, our financial results could be adversely affected. We use supplier pricing agreements and derivative financial instruments to manage volatility and market risk for certain commodities. Generally, these hedging instruments establish the purchase price for these commodities before the time of delivery. These pricing positions are taken in line with the Board’s agreed risk policy and the impact of these positions is known and forecasted in our financial results. This may lock CCEP into prices that are ultimately greater or lower than the actual market price at the time of delivery. We continue to experience volatility in commodity prices mainly driven by war, political uncertainty, increased protectionist policies and volatility impacts of capital markets. Our suppliers could be adversely affected by a number of external events. These could include war, strikes, adverse weather conditions, speculation, abnormally high demand, governmental controls, new taxes, national emergencies, natural disasters, health crises, such as a pandemic, and insolvency. If this happens, and we are unable to find an alternative source for our materials, our cost of sales, revenues, and ability to manufacture and distribute products could be adversely affected. The quality of the materials or finished goods delivered to us could be lower than expected. If this happens, we may need to substitute those items for ones that meet our standards, or replace underperforming suppliers. This could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business. We continue to sign long-term supply agreements with suppliers meeting our specifications and put contingency plans in place. Changes in interest rates or our debt rating could harm our financial results and financial position. CCEP is subject to interest rate risk, and changes in our debt rating could have a material adverse effect on interest costs and debt financing sources. Our debt rating can be materially influenced by a range of factors, including our financial performance, acquisitions, and investment decisions, as well as the capital management activities of The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) and changes in the debt rating of TCCC. The deterioration in political unity within the EU could significantly impact our financial results and reduce our competitiveness in the marketplace. There are concerns regarding the short and long-term stability of the euro and pound sterling and the euro’s ability to serve as a single currency for a number of individual countries. These concerns could lead individual countries to revert, or threaten to revert, to local currencies. In more extreme circumstances, they could exit from the EU, and the Eurozone could be dissolved entirely.

Furthermore, the full or partial dissolution of the euro, the exit of one or more EU member states from the EU or the full dissolution of the EU could cause significant volatility and disruption to the global economy. This could affect our ability to access capital at acceptable financing costs, the availability of supplies and materials, and demand for our products, all of which could adversely impact our financial results. If it becomes necessary for us to conduct our business in additional currencies, we would be subjected to additional earnings volatility as amounts in these currencies are translated into euros. Consequences of Brexit could continue to impact our profits. The EU and the United Kingdom (UK) Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) was implemented through the enactment of the European Union (Future Relationship) Act 2020 on 31 December 2020. The TCA provides the framework for the relationship between the EU and the UK and consists of a free trade agreement, a partnership for citizens’ security and a horizontal agreement on governance. Besides trade in goods and services, the TCA also covers a broad range of areas, such as investment, competition, state aid, tax transparency, air and road transport, energy and sustainability, data protection, and social security coordination. Separately, the EU and the UK agreed a nuclear cooperation agreement and an agreement on security procedures for exchanging and protecting classified information. The TCA provides that the EU and the UK may agree to additional agreements covering other areas of cooperation in the future. The near and medium-term impact of Brexit is still unclear and there is uncertainty about the future relationship between the EU and the UK. However, we continue to manage the practical changes, working with both consumers and suppliers as well as internally continuing to execute the necessary changes to our process to manage any administrative impact, including border and customs requirements. Political instability could negatively impact our operations and profits. We continue to be exposed to risks associated with political instability in different parts of our territories. Although the political situation in Catalonia is a dormant risk, should the situation deteriorate this could lead to major instability. Such instability could result in prolonged political, economic and operational uncertainty for our business, our customers and consumers, with potential impacts on tourism, private consumption and regulation. Default by or failure of one or more of our counterparty financial institutions could cause us to incur losses. We are exposed to the risk of default by, or failure of, counterparty financial institutions with which we do business. This risk may be heightened during economic downturns and periods of uncertainty in the financial markets. If one of our counterparties became insolvent or filed for bankruptcy, our ability to recover amounts owed from or held in accounts with the counterparty may be limited. In this event we could incur losses, which could negatively impact our results and financial condition. Market We may not be able to respond successfully to changes in the marketplace. CCEP operates in the highly competitive beverage industry and faces strong competition from other general and speciality beverage companies. Our response to continued and increased competitor and customer consolidations and marketplace competition may result in lower than expected net pricing of our products. In addition, external factors such as the widespread outbreak of infectious disease (e.g. COVID-19) may adversely affect the market. Changes in our relationships with large customers may adversely impact our financial results. A significant amount of our volume is sold through large retail chains, including supermarkets and wholesalers. Many of these customers are becoming more consolidated, or forming buying groups, which increases their purchasing power. They may, at times, seek to use this to improve their profitability through lower prices, increased emphasis on generic and other private label brands, or increased promotional programmes and payment of rebates. Competition from hard discount retailers and online retailers continues to challenge traditional retail outlets. This can increase the pressure on all customer margins, which may then be reflected in pressure on suppliers such as CCEP. In addition, from time to time a customer or customers choose(s) to temporarily stop selling some of our products as a result of disputes we may have with them. These factors, as well as others, can have a negative impact on the availability of CCEP’s products, and our profitability. Legal, regulatory and tax Legislative or regulatory changes (including changes to tax laws) that affect our products, distribution, or packaging could reduce demand for our products or increase our costs. CCEP’s business model depends on making our products and packages available in multiple channels and locations. Laws that restrict our ability to do this could negatively impact our financial results. These include laws affecting the promotion and distribution of our products, laws that require deposit return schemes (DRS) to be introduced for certain types of packages, or laws that limit our ability to design new packages or market certain packages. The packaging and climate change and water risk factors discuss global issues such as climate change, resource scarcity, marine litter and water scarcity further. In addition, taxes or other charges imposed on the sale of our products could increase costs or cause consumers to purchase fewer of them. Many countries in Europe, including countries in which CCEP operates, are looking to implement or increase such taxes. These may relate, for example, to the use of non-recycled plastic in beverage packaging, or the use of sugar or other sweeteners in our beverages (see also the risk factors regarding packaging and perceived health impact of our beverages and ingredients, and changing consumer buying trends). On a European level the regulation adopted in December 2020 laying down the EU’s multi annual financial framework for 2021-2027 includes an “own resource”, applicable as from 1 January 2021, which consists of the application of a uniform call rate to the weight of plastic packaging waste generated in each member state that is not recycled. The uniform call rate will be €0.80 per kilogram. Every EU member state decides how to collect the money needed to fulfil its contribution. However, we expect some member states to install some sort of recoupment mechanism (a tax) at national level to retrieve the outlays made to the EU. Spain has already proposed a unique plastic tax to be implemented in 2021, and GB is expected to introduce a plastic tax independent of the European levy by April 2022. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F198 198 Strategic Report Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Financial Statements Other Information Other Information Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc I 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F Risk factors CONTINUED EU member states are in the process of adopting implementing regulations to comply with the obligations of the Single Use Plastics Directive. The obligations include a 90% collection target for plastic bottles by 2029, a requirement that plastic bottles contain at least 30% recycled content by 2030 and a requirement for plastic beverage bottles to include tethered closures by 2024. The deadline for transposing the Single Use Plastics Directive into national law was 3 July 2021. Some member states go further than the minimum requirements of the Directive and have adopted stricter regulations. For example, circular economy legislation has been introduced in France, which requires a 50% reduction in the number of single use plastic bottles by 2030 and the phasing out of single use plastic packaging entirely by 2040. Additional taxes levied on CCEP could harm our financial results. CCEP’s tax filings for various periods are or may be subject to current or future audit by tax authorities. These audits may result, or have resulted, in assessments of additional taxes, as well as interest and/or penalties, and could adversely affect our financial results. Changes in tax laws, regulations, court rulings, related interpretations, and tax accounting standards in countries in which we operate, or if we are unsuccessful in defending our tax positions, may adversely affect our financial results. In addition to legislative initiatives at EU level, several countries in which we operate also have or are planning other legislative or regulatory measures to reduce the use of single use plastics, including plastic beverage bottles, and/or to increase plastic collection and recycling. Such measures may include implementing a DRS under which a deposit fee is added to the consumer price, which is refunded to them if and when the bottle is returned. Other measures may include rules on recycled content, individual collection or recycling targets, or a ”plastic tax”. In GB, as part of our producer responsibility obligations, we are required to purchase Packaging Recovery Notes (PRN) to show that we meet our responsibilities for recycling and recovery of packaging waste. While we have processes in place to manage our PRN exposure, we are subject to price volatility in PRN, which could increase costs for our business in the future. DRS for plastic beverage bottles currently exist in some of the countries in which we do business, such as in Norway (which is part of the European Economic Area (EEA) but is not an EU member state), the Netherlands (which has recently extended its DRS to cover all PET bottles from July 2021), Germany and Sweden. Other countries have recently adopted regulations for DRS for beverage packaging (such as Scotland where DRS will start in July 2022 that includes PET plastic, cans and glass) or have adopted legislation paving the way for DRS (such as Portugal, England and Wales, and recently Belgium). In addition to the regulations on packaging, plastic and waste in general, concern over climate change has led to more environmental legislative and regulatory initiatives at an EU and national level. These include areas such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water use and energy efficiency. At the EU level, as part of the EU Green Deal, the proposed European Climate law provides for a significant increase in the EU GHG emissions reduction target for 2030, in line with the EU’s goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. Also, at a national level, we have seen a number of countries in which we operate introduce, or start the process of introducing, legislation and regulation. Additionally, amounts we may need to repatriate for the payment of dividends, share buybacks, interest on debt, salaries and other costs may be subject to additional taxation when repatriated. CCEP may be exposed to risks in relation to compliance with anti-corruption laws and other key regulations and economic sanctions programmes. CCEP and its subsidiaries are required to comply with the laws and regulations of the various countries in which they conduct business, as well as certain laws of other countries, including the US. In particular, our operations are subject to anti-corruption laws such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the FCPA), the UK Bribery Act 2010 (UKBA), the Spanish and Portuguese Criminal Codes and Sapin II and other key regulations such as the corporate criminal offence provisions of the UK Criminal Finances Act 2017 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are also subject to economic sanction programmes, including those administered by the United Nations, the EU and the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Department of the Treasury (OFAC), and regulations set forth under the US Comprehensive Iran Accountability Divestment Act. A GDPR violation could lead to fines of up to 4% of our global annual turnover, as well as negatively affect our reputation. Since the recent European Court of Justice Schrems II ruling, EU personal data transfers to third countries are subject to new compliance requirements, including risk assessments of foreign government surveillance, execution of standard contractual clauses with third parties and potential supplemental measures. Non-compliance with such transfer requirements would result in a GDPR violation. The FCPA prohibits providing anything of value to foreign officials for the purposes of obtaining or retaining business or securing any improper business advantage (active bribery). In our business dealings we may deal with both governments and state owned business enterprises, the employees of which are considered foreign officials for the purposes of the FCPA. The provisions of the UKBA extend beyond bribery of foreign public officials, covering both public and private sector bribery. They are more onerous than the FCPA in a number of respects, including jurisdiction, non-exemption of facilitation payments, the receipt of bribery (passive bribery), penalties and in some cases imprisonment. We do not currently operate in jurisdictions that are subject to territorial sanction imposed by OFAC or other relevant sanction authorities. However, such economic sanction programmes will restrict our ability to engage or confirm business dealings with certain sanctioned countries and with sanctioned parties. Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc | 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F 199 199 Strategic Report Strategic Report Governance and Directors’ Report Governance and Directors’ Report Financial Statements Financial Statements Other Information Other Information Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc I 2021 Integrated Report and Form 20-F Risk factors CONTINUED Violations of the above, including anti-corruption, GDPR, economic sanctions, competition law or other applicable laws and regulations are punishable by civil and sometimes criminal penalties for individuals and companies. Currently competition regulators are active in this sector. These penalties can vary from fines, denial of export privileges, injunctions, asset seizures, debarment from government contracts (and termination of existing contracts) to revocations or restrictions of licences, as well as criminal fines and imprisonment. Potentially any violation within one of these compliance risk areas could have a negative impact on our reputation and consequently on our ability to win future business. Having effective compliance programmes in place can never give the assurance that related policies or procedures will be followed at all times, or always detect and prevent violations of the applicable laws by our employees, consultants, agents or partners. Legal changes could affect our status as a foreign corporation for US federal income tax purposes, or limit the US tax benefits we receive from engaging in certain transactions. In general, for US federal income tax purposes, a corporation is considered a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation. Because CCEP is incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, it would generally be classified as a non-US corporation (and therefore a non-US tax resident) under these rules. However, section 7874 of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC), provides an exception under which a non-US incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a US corporation for US federal income tax purposes. Under current law, CCEP expects to be treated as a non-US corporation for US federal income tax purposes. However, section 7874 of the IRC and the related US Treasury regulations are complex and there is limited guidance as to their application. In addition, changes to section 7874 of the IRC or the US Treasury Regulations could adversely affect CCEP’s status as a foreign corporation for US federal tax purposes, and any such changes could have prospective or retroactive application. If CCEP were to be treated as a US corporation for US federal income tax purposes, it could be subject to materially greater US tax liability than as a non-US corporation. Future changes to tax laws in the countries in which CCEP operates could adversely affect our business. Tax is a complex and evolving area where laws and their interpretation are changing regularly leading to the risk of increased or unexpected tax costs and or additional tax reporting obligations.Tax laws could change on a prospective or retroactive basis. Any such changes could adversely affect our business and its affiliates, and there is no assurance that we would be able to maintain any particular worldwide effective corporate tax rate. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Inclusive Framework have agreed to work together to create a consistent and coordinated approach to reform the international taxation rules to address the tax challenges arising from the digitilisation of the economy and to ensure that multinational enterprises (MNEs) pay a fair share of tax wherever they operate and generate profits (a two pillar solution). On 20th December 2021, the Global Anti Base Erosion Model Rules (Pillar Two) was published. These rules provide for a minimum level of taxation on the income arising in each of the jurisdictions where large MNEs operate. The OECD is expected to release detailed commentaries and an implementation framework in 2022, with intended implementation of these rules in 2023. Climate change and water Global issues such as climate change, resource and water scarcity, and the legal and regulatory responses to these issues, could adversely impact our business. Climate change – caused by GHG emissions, in part from businesses such as ours – is resulting in global average temperature increases and extreme weather conditions around the world. This has an adverse impact on our business. CCEP’s products rely heavily on water, and climate change may exacerbate water scarcity and cause a deterioration of water quality in affected regions. It could also decrease agricultural productivity in certain regions of the world, which could limit the availability or increase the cost of key raw materials that we use to produce our products. More frequent extreme weather events, such as storms or floods in our territories, could disrupt our facilities and distribution network, further impacting our business. Concern over climate change has led to legislative and regulatory initiatives aimed at limiting GHG emissions. Policy makers continue to consider proposals that could impose mandatory requirements on GHG emissions reduction and reporting. Other climate laws could affect other areas of our business, such as production, distribution, packaging or the cost of raw materials. This in turn could negatively impact our business and financial results. Water is the primary ingredient in most of our products. It is also vital to our manufacturing processes and is needed to produce the agricultural ingredients that are essential to our business. Water scarcity and a deterioration in the quality of available water sources in our territories or to our supply chain, even if temporary, may result in increased production costs or capacity constraints. This could adversely affect our ability to produce and sell our beverages, and increase our costs. As part of our commitment to addressing our climate change impacts, we are investing in technologies that improve the energy efficiency of our operations and reduce GHG emissions related to our packaging, cold drink equipment (CDE) and transportation. In general, the cost of these investments is greater than investments in less energy efficient technologies, and the period of return is often longer. Although we believe these investments will provide long-term benefits, there is a risk that we may not always achieve our desired returns. Perceived health impact of our beverages and ingredients, and changing consumer buying trends Health concerns could reduce consumer demand for some of our products, impacting our financial performance. There is concern that the public health consequences of obesity, particularly among young people is increasing. Health advocates and dietary guidelines suggest that consumption of sugar sweetened beverages is a cause of increased obesity rates, and are encouraging consumers to reduce or eliminate consumption of such products. In addition, governments have introduced stronger regulations around the marketing, labelling, packaging, or sale of sugar sweetened beverages. These concerns and regulations could reduce demand for, or increase the cost of, our sugar sweetened beverages. Consumer trends have also led to an increased demand for low calorie soft drinks, water, enhanced water, isotonics, energy drinks, teas, coffees and beverages with natural ingredients. If we fail to meet this demand by not providing a broad enough range of products, this could adversely affect our business and financial results.

We continue to assess potential opportunities for improvements as part of the ongoing business strategy to enable us to remain competitive in the future. The strategic objective is to ensure our competitiveness in the future and encompasses three areas: technology transformation, supply chain and commercial improvements, and working efficiently with our partners and franchisors. The focus of these initiatives is to offset potential future increases in costs, such as materials or headcount, and to allow investment in potential growth areas. The initiatives are complex due to their multi functional and multi country nature, which cover many parts of our business. Ineffective coordination and control over single initiatives and interdependent initiatives could result in us failing to realise the expected benefits. Continual change might trigger change fatigue among our people or social unrest in the event that such changes result in industrial action. Restructuring could cause labour and union unrest. Restructuring can lead to labour and union unrest. Since CCEP’s inception, we have restructured in all countries and functions, resulting in a combination of redeployment and layoffs. While we continue to look for opportunities to enable CCEP to maintain and improve its position within the market, this might have a negative impact on our relationship with our employee representatives and social partners, and could cause labour and union unrest. The CCEP’s Human Rights Restructuring guidelines set out our commitment to identify, prevent and mitigate adverse human rights impacts resulting from or caused by our business activities. In the past, we have sought to minimise union unrest through constructive social dialogue e.g. on employability, which has not affected our ability to achieve our objectives. We would like to ensure that we continue this positive dialogue with the social partners. This could include more attention to resource and workforce planning, that better anticipates the capabilities and technology savviness needed in the future. Miscalculation of CCEP’s need for infrastructure investment could impact its financial results. To support revenue growth we are investing in our infrastructure, including CDE, fleet, technology, sales force, digital capability and production equipment. There is a risk that these investments do not generate the projected returns, either because of market or technological changes, ineffective adoption of capabilities, or because the projected requirements of these investments may differ from actual levels if product demands do not develop as anticipated. Our infrastructure investments are anticipated to be long term in nature, and it is possible that they may not generate the expected return due to future changes in the marketplace. This could adversely affect CCEP’s financial results. Technology failures could disrupt our operations and negatively impact our business. CCEP relies extensively on IT systems to process, transmit, store and protect electronic information. For example, our production and distribution facilities and inventory management all use IT to maximise efficiencies and minimise costs. Communication between our employees, customers, and suppliers also depends, to a large extent, on IT. Our IT and operational technology (OT) systems may be vulnerable to interruptions due to events that may be beyond our control. These include, but are not limited to, natural disasters, telecommunications failures, power outages, hardware failures, human error and security issues e.g. cyber attacks. We have IT security controls, processes and disaster recovery plans in place, but they may not be adequate or implemented effectively enough to ensure that our operations are not disrupted. Cyber attacks in one country might impact our ability to do business in other countries due to the dependencies on information systems and applications. Cyber attacks against CCEP’s suppliers or system providers might disrupt our business. We continually invest in IT to ensure our technology solutions are current and up to date. If we miscalculate the level of investment needed, our software, hardware and maintenance practices could become out of date, and this could result in disruptions to our business. In addition, when we implement new systems or system upgrades (such as SAP and its modules), there is a risk that our business may be temporarily disrupted during the implementation period. Centralisation of IT systems might increase the impact of a failure of information technology or applications. When investments in or acquisitions of companies are undertaken, such as the Acquisition of CCL, the integration of IT systems and applications for those entities will increase the complexity and, therefore, the risk level of our IT infrastructure. We may not be able to execute our strategy to pursue suitable acquisitions or may have difficulty integrating acquired businesses. Our strategy involves, in part, pursuing disciplined and attractive investments, which are intended to create a positive net present value for total shareholder return. Our efforts to execute this strategy may be affected by our ability to identify suitable acquisition targets, negotiate and close acquisition and development transactions. Further, to the extent that we are able to identify suitable investments, there are risks that integration of those investments does not proceed as anticipated or that management attention is diverted by such opportunities, and there is no guarantee that these investments will support the growth of CCEP or achieve the intended return. People and wellbeing Increases in the cost of wages and employee benefits, including pension retirement benefits, could impact our financial results and cash flow. The increases in the cost of wages and employee benefits, including retirement benefits, may affect our financial results and cash flow. The increasing inflationary trend combined with high employment levels we see globally will put pressure on future wage negotiations and the anticipated salary budget. CCEP is engaged in a dialogue with social partners on this issue in which no promises are made to fully compensate the rising cost of living but to look at the whole picture over the longer term: a large employee workforce especially in front line functions, year on year salary increases awarded, year on year growth and value creation together with customers and shareholders. It is about long-term vision. However, it cannot be ruled out that for tactical reasons unions will take action here and there.

The COVID-19 pandemic may continue to affect the business with a higher degree of mental health issues and increased absence rates for employees. Wellbeing initiatives require new approaches to reach all employees, especially when restructuring takes place, which potentially increases us to the risk of long term absence. As a result, we could face a loss of production. Failure to abide by our health and safety policies and guidelines could result in injuries and death of our people. The increasing importance of flexible working and future work topics brings in the challenge of attracting, retaining and motivating existing and future employees, which exposes us to the risk of not having the right talent, required technical skillset, or expected levels of productivity. As a result, we could fail to achieve our strategic objectives and could experience a decline in employee engagement, industrial action, suffer from reputational damage or litigation. Relationship with TCCC and other franchisors Our business success, including our financial results, depends on our relationship with TCCC and other franchisors. Around 90% of our revenue for the year ended 31 December 2021 was derived from the distribution of beverages under agreements with TCCC. We make, sell and distribute products of TCCC through fixed term bottling agreements with TCCC, which typically include the following terms: • We purchase our entire requirement of concentrates and syrups for Coca-Cola trademark beverages (sparkling beverages bearing the trademark “Coca-Cola” or the “Coke” brand name) and allied beverages (beverages of TCCC or its subsidiaries, but not Coca-Cola trademark beverages or energy drinks) from TCCC. Prices, terms of payment, and other terms and conditions of supply are determined from time to time by TCCC at its sole discretion. • There are no limits on the prices that TCCC may charge for concentrate. TCCC maintains current effective concentrate incidence at the same levels that CCE, CCIP and CCEG had in place before the Merger, provided certain specific mutually agreed metrics are achieved. • Much of the marketing and promotional support that we receive from TCCC is at its discretion. Programmes may contain requirements, or be subject to conditions, established by TCCC that we may not be able to achieve or satisfy. The terms of most of the marketing programmes do not and will not contain an express obligation for TCCC to participate in future programmes or continue past levels of payments into the future. • Our bottling agreements with TCCC are for fixed terms, and most of them are renewable only at the discretion of TCCC at the conclusion of their terms. A decision by TCCC not to renew a fixed term bottling agreement at the end of its term could substantially and adversely affect our financial results. • We are obligated to maintain sound financial capacity to perform our duties, as required and determined by TCCC at its sole discretion. These duties include, but are not limited to, making certain investments in marketing activities to stimulate the demand for products in our territories and making infrastructure improvements to ensure our facilities and distribution network are capable of handling the demand for these beverages. Disagreements with TCCC concerning business issues may lead TCCC to act adversely to our interests with respect to these relationships. Product quality Our business could be adversely affected if CCEP, TCCC or other franchisors and manufacturers of the products we distribute are unable to maintain a positive brand image as a result of product quality issues. Our success depends on our products, and those of TCCC and other franchisors, having a positive brand image among customers and consumers. Product quality issues, whether real or perceived, or allegations of product contamination, even if false or unfounded, could tarnish the image of our products and result in customers and consumers choosing other products. Product liability claims or product recalls could also negatively impact our brand image and business results. We could be liable if the consumption of our products causes injury or illness. We could also be required to recall products if they become unsafe to consume through contamination, damage or because of labelling errors such as the failure to declare an allergen. Adverse publicity around health and wellness concerns, water usage, customer disputes, labour relations, product ingredients, packaging recovery, and the environmental impact of products could negatively affect our overall reputation and our products’ acceptance by our customers and consumers. This could happen even when the publicity results from actions occurring outside our territory or control. Similarly, if product quality issues arise from products not manufactured by us but imported into one of our territories, our reputation and consumer goodwill could be damaged. Opinions about our business, including opinions about the health and safety of our products, can spread quickly through social media. If we fail to respond to any negative opinions effectively and in a timely manner, this could harm the perception of our brands and damage our reputation, regardless of the validity of the statements, and negatively impact our financial results. Other risks Our business is vulnerable to products being imported from outside our territories, which adversely affects our sales. The territories in which we operate are susceptible to the import of products manufactured by bottlers from countries outside our territories. When these imports come from members of the EEA, we are prohibited from taking action to stop such imports. Adverse weather conditions could limit the demand for our products. Our sales are significantly influenced by weather conditions in the countries in which we operate. In particular, due to the seasonality of our business, cold or wet weather during the summer months may have a negative impact on the demand for our products and contribute to lower sales. This could have an adverse effect on our financial results.

Many of our vendors supply us with products and services that rely on certain intellectual property rights or other proprietary information, and are subject to other third party rights, laws and regulations. If these vendors face legal claims brought by third parties or regulatory authorities, they could be required to pay large settlements or even cease providing us with products and services as well as exposing CCEP to risk. These outcomes could require us to change vendors or develop replacement solutions or be subject to third party claims. This could result in business inefficiencies or higher costs, which could negatively impact CCEP’s financial results. Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation. CCEP is a party to various litigation claims and legal proceedings. We evaluate these claims and proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavourable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish reserves or disclose the relevant claims or proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgement. As a result, actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those in the current assessments and estimates. We have bottling and other business operations in markets with strong legal compliance environments. Our policies and procedures require strict compliance with all laws and regulations that apply to our business operations, including those prohibiting improper payments to government officials. Those policies are supported by leadership and are ingrained in our business through our compliance culture and training. Nonetheless, we cannot guarantee that our employees will always ensure full compliance with all applicable legal requirements. Improper conduct by our employees could damage our reputation or lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines as well as disgorgement of profits. TCCC and Olive Partners, S.A. (Olive Partners) hold significant shareholdings in CCEP and their views may differ from those of our public shareholders. Around 19% and 36% of CCEP’s Shares are owned by European Refreshments (ER, a wholly owned subsidiary of TCCC) and Olive Partners respectively. As a result of their shareholdings, TCCC and Olive Partners can influence (or, potentially, control the outcome of) matters requiring shareholder approval, subject to our Articles of Association and the Shareholders’ Agreement. The views of TCCC and Olive Partners may not always align with each other or our other shareholders.

On 4 May 2016, the Company was reregistered as a public company limited by shares and changed its name from Coca-Cola European Partners Limited to Coca-Cola European Partners plc. On 10 May 2021, the Company changed its name from Coca-Cola European Partners plc to Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc. It is registered at Companies House, Cardiff, under company number 9717350. The business address for Directors and senior management is Pemberton House, Bakers Road, Uxbridge, UB8 1EZ, England. The Company is resident in the UK for tax purposes. Its primary objective is to make, sell and distribute ready to drink beverages. Annual General Meeting It is intended that the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held at Pemberton House, Bakers Road, Uxbridge, UB8 1EZ in May 2022. However, at the date of this report, there remains continued uncertainty regarding COVID-19 and the Company may be required to make alternative arrangements. Registered shareholders will be sent a Notice of AGM, or notice of availability of the Notice of AGM, closer to the time of the AGM, and will be notified of any change affecting the AGM through an appropriate channel. Directors and senior management Biographies of the Board of Directors and senior management are set out on pages 67 to 73. Sol Daurella and Alfonso Líbano Daurella are first cousins. Service contracts and loss of office arrangements It is the Remuneration Committee’s policy that there should be no element of reward for failure. When considering payments in the event of a loss of office, it takes account of the individual circumstances, including the reason for the loss of office, Group and individual performance, contractual obligations of both parties as well as share and pension plan rules. Service contracts for Executive Directors provide for a notice period of not more than 12 months from CCEP and not more than 12 months from the individual. The standard Executive Director service contract does not confer any right to additional payments in the event of termination. However, it does reserve the right for the Group to impose garden leave (i.e. leave with pay) on the Executive Director during any notice period. In the event of redundancy, benefits would be paid according to CCEP’s redundancy guidelines for GB prevailing at that time. Executive Directors may be eligible for a pro rata bonus for the period served, subject to performance, but no bonus will be paid in the event of gross misconduct. The treatment of unvested long-term incentive awards is governed by the rules of the relevant plan and depends on the reasons for leaving. The cost of legal fees spent on reviewing a settlement agreement on departure may be provided where appropriate. The Company also reserves the right to pay for outplacement services as appropriate. The Non-executive Directors (NEDs), including the Chairman of the Board, do not have service contracts but have letters of appointment. NEDs are not entitled to compensation on leaving the Board. Directors and senior management interest in shares Other than Sol Daurella, Alfonso Líbano Daurella and José Ignacio Comenge, who indirectly owned 7.2% (32,746,168 Shares), 1.4% (6,573,282 Shares), and 1.7% (7,834,271 Shares) of the Shares outstanding as of 25 February 2022, respectively, no Director or member of senior management individually owned more than 1% of the Company’s Shares as of 25 February 2022. Table 1 shows the number of share options held by Directors and other members of senior management as at 25 February 2022, including the applicable exercise price and the date when the applicable exercise period ends. Other employee related matters Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements provides a breakdown of employees by main category of activity. As at 31 December 2021, we had around 33,000 employees, of whom none were located in the US. We have seen a significant increase in the number of employees as a result of API integration. A number of our employees in Europe and API are covered by collectively bargained labour agreements, most of which do not expire. However, wage rates, in some countries must be renegotiated at various dates throughout 2022. We believe we will be able to renegotiate these wage rates with satisfactory terms.

Subject to certain limitations under the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Board has the authority to offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise deal with or dispose of shares to such persons, at such times, for such consideration and upon such terms as the Board may decide, only if approved by ordinary resolution of our shareholders. As at 31 December 2021 the Company had 456,235,032 Shares issued and fully paid. As at 25 February 2022, the Company had 456,382,668 Shares issued and fully paid. Under the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Articles, the Company is permitted to issue, or grant to any person rights to be issued, securities, in one or a series of related transactions, in each case representing 20% or more of our issued share capital, only if approved in advance by special resolution of our shareholders. Pursuant to this authority, our shareholders have passed resolutions allowing a maximum of a further 303,523,712 Shares (as of 25 February 2022) to be allotted and issued, subject to the restrictions set out below: 1. pursuant to a shareholder resolution passed on 26 May 2021 regarding the authority to allot new shares, the Board is authorised to allot shares and to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares: a. up to a nominal amount of €1,517,618.56 (representing 151,761,856 Shares; such amount to be reduced by any allotments or grants made under paragraph 1(b) below in excess of such sum); and b. comprising equity securities (as defined in the Companies Act) up to a nominal amount of €3,035,237.12 (representing 303,523,712 Shares; such amount to be reduced by any allotments or grants made under paragraph 1(a) above) in connection with an offer by way of a rights issue: i. ii. to ordinary shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and to holders of other equity securities as required by the rights of those securities or as the Board otherwise considers necessary, and so that the Board may impose any limits or restrictions and make any arrangements which it considers necessary or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or any other matter; and 2. pursuant to a shareholder resolution passed on 26 May 2021 regarding authority to disapply pre-emption rights, the Board is authorised to allot equity securities (as defined in the Companies Act) for cash under the authority given by the shareholder resolution described in paragraph 1 above and/or to sell shares held by the Company as treasury shares for cash as if section 561 of the Companies Act did not apply to any such allotment or sale, such power to be limited: a. to the allotment of equity securities and sale of treasury shares in connection with an offer of, or invitation to apply for, equity securities (but in the case of the authority granted under paragraph 1(b) above, by way of a rights issue only): i. ii. to ordinary shareholders in proportion (as nearly as may be practicable) to their existing holdings; and to holders of other equity securities, as required by the rights of those securities, or as the Board otherwise considers necessary, and so that the Board may impose any limits or restrictions and make any arrangements which it considers necessary or appropriate to deal with treasury shares, fractional entitlements, record dates, legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or any other matter; and b. in the case of the authority granted under paragraph 1(a) above and/or in the case of any sale of treasury shares, to the allotment of equity securities or sale of treasury shares (otherwise than under paragraph 2(a) above) up to a nominal amount of €227,642.78 (representing 22,764,278 Shares).

Table 2 Outstanding share-based payment awards Shares held by CCEP We are not permitted under English law to hold our own Shares unless they are repurchased by us and held in treasury. At our 2021 AGM, our shareholders passed a special resolution that allows us to buy back our own Shares in the market as permitted by the Companies Act. On 13 February 2020, the Board announced a share buyback programme of up to €1 billion. All Shares repurchased as part of the buyback programme have been cancelled. Details of the Shares bought back are provided under Share buyback programme below. In light of macroeconomic uncertainty brought about by the outbreak of COVID-19, on 23 March 2020, the Company announced the suspension of the buyback programme until further notice. Share-based payment awards Table 2 shows the share-based payment awards outstanding under each of the CCE 2010 Incentive Award Plan (2010 Plan) and the Long-Term Incentive Plan 2016 (CCEP LTIP) as at 31 December 2021 and 25 February 2022. For more details about the share plans and awards granted, see Note 22 to the consolidated financial statements on pages 170-171. History of share capital Table 3 page 206 sets out the history of our share capital for the period from 1 January 2019 until 25 February 2022. Share buyback programme The maximum number of Shares authorised for purchase at the 2021 AGM was 45,528,556 Shares, representing 10% of the issued Shares at 13 April 2021, reduced by the number of Shares purchased, or agreed to be purchased, between 13 April and 26 May 2021. No Shares have been purchased under the 2021 shareholder authority as at the date of this report. The existing authority to buy back Shares will expire at the 2022 AGM. We intend to seek shareholder approval to renew the authority to buy back Shares. US shareholders To the knowledge of the Company, 211 holders of record with an address in the US held a total of 456,311,098 Shares (or 99% of the total number of issued Shares outstanding) as at 25 February 2022. However, some Shares are registered in the names of nominees, meaning that the number of shareholders with registered addresses in the US may not be representative of the number of beneficial owners of Shares resident in the US.

TCCC and other franchisors advertise in all major media to promote sales in the local areas we serve. We also benefit from regional, local and global advertising programmes conducted by TCCC and other franchisors. Certain advertising expenditures by TCCC and other franchisors are made pursuant to annual arrangements. Competition CCEP competes mainly in the manufacturing, sale and distribution of non-alcoholic ready to drink (NARTD) beverages industry and adjacencies, including squashes/cordials, hot beverages, low alcoholic beverage and premium spirits. CCEP competes in the Western Europe and API segments, and primarily manufactures, sells and distributes the products of TCCC, as well as those of other franchisors such as Monster Energy and Capri Sun AG. CCEP and TCCC engage in a variety of marketing programmes to promote the sale of TCCC’s products in territories in which we operate. The amounts to be paid to us by TCCC under the programmes are determined annually and are periodically reassessed as the programmes progress. Marketing support funding programmes entered into with TCCC provide financial support, principally based on our product sales or on the completion of stated requirements, to offset a portion of the cost of our marketing programmes. Except in certain limited circumstances, TCCC has no specified contractual obligation to participate in expenditures for advertising, marketing and other support in our territories. The terms of similar programmes TCCC may have with other licensees and the amounts paid by TCCC under them could differ from CCEP’s arrangements. We take part in various programmes and arrangements with customers to increase the sale of products. These include arrangements under which allowances can be earned by customers for attaining agreed sales levels or for participating in specific marketing programmes. Dependence on franchisors As a franchise business, CCEP’s business success, including its financial results, depends upon its relationships with TCCC and its other franchisors. For more about our relationships with franchisors, see the Risk factors on page 201. CCEP competes mainly with: • NARTD and non-alcoholic, non-ready to drink (for example squashes/cordials and hot beverages) brand and private label manufacturers, sellers and distributors • Alcoholic beverage manufacturers, sellers and distributors – in the sense that some of their products may be considered to be substitutes to CCEP’s own products for certain consumer occasions. More recently CCEP entered the hard seltzer market. A small number of such companies may also be contracted by CCEP as manufacturers (e.g. co-packers) or commercial partners (e.g. on behalf of which CCEP sells and/or distributes, or which sells and/or distributes on CCEP’s behalf). CCEP sells and distributes to a wide range of customers, including both physical and online food and beverage retailers, wholesalers and out of retail customers. The market is highly competitive and all CCEP customers and consumers may choose freely between products of CCEP and its competitors. Many of CCEP’s customers are under increasing competitive pressure, including with the increasing market share of discounters, the growth of e-commerce food and beverage players, emergence of quick commerce and customer consolidation. CCEP competes with respect to a wide range of commercial factors, including brand awareness, product and packaging innovations, supply chain efficacy, customer service, sales strategy, marketing, and pricing and promotions. The level of competition faced by CCEP may be affected by, for example, changing customer and consumer product, brand, and packaging preferences; shifts in customers’ industries; competitor strategy shifts; new competitor entrants; supplier dynamics; the weather; and social, economic, political or other external landscape shifts. Key factors affecting CCEP’s competitive strength include, for example, CCEP’s strategic choices; investments; partnerships (e.g. with customers, franchisors and suppliers); people management; asset base (e.g. property, plant, fleet, and equipment); technological sophistication; and processes and systems. Impact of governmental regulation Our business is sensitive to the economic and political action and conditions in our countries of operation. The risks this can pose to our business are set out in our Principal risks on pages 42-47 and in our Risk factors on pages 195-202. By responding to these challenges positively, we can gain a competitive advantage.

Taxation information for shareholders US federal income taxation US federal income tax consequences to US holders of the ownership and disposition of CCEP Shares This section summarises the material US federal income tax consequences of owning Shares as capital assets for tax purposes. It is not, however, a comprehensive analysis of all the potential US tax consequences for such holders, and it does not discuss the tax consequences of members of special classes of holders which may be subject to other rules, including, but not limited to: tax exempt entities, life insurance companies, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings, holders liable for alternative minimum tax, holders that, directly or indirectly, hold 10% or more (by vote or by value) of the Company’s stock, holders that hold Shares as part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction, holders that purchase or sell Shares as part of a wash sale for US federal income tax purposes, or US holders whose functional currency is not the US dollar. In addition, if a partnership holds Shares, the US federal income tax treatment of a partner will generally depend on the status of the partner and the tax treatment of the partnership and may not be described fully below. This summary does not address any aspect of US taxation other than US federal taxation (such as the estate and gift tax, the Medicare tax on net investment income or US state or local tax). Investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the US federal, state, local and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of Shares in their particular circumstances. This section is based on the IRC, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations, published rulings and court decisions, and on the United Kingdom-United States Tax Treaty (the Treaty), all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. A US holder is a beneficial owner of Shares that is, for US federal income tax purposes, (i) a citizen or individual resident of the US, (ii) a US domestic corporation, (iii) an estate whose income is subject to US federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (iv) a trust if a US court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more US persons are authorised to control all substantial decisions of the trust. A non-US holder is a beneficial owner of Shares that is neither a US holder nor a partnership for US federal income tax purposes.

Dividends paid to a non-corporate US holder will generally constitute “qualified dividend income” and be taxable to the holder at a preferential rate, provided that (i) CCEP is eligible for the benefits of the Treaty, (ii) CCEP is not a PFIC (as discussed below) for either its taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year and (iii) certain minimum holding period and other requirements are met. CCEP currently believes that dividends paid with respect to its Shares should constitute qualified dividend income for US federal income tax purposes if CCEP was not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and is not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a PFIC for US federal income tax purposes and provided that the certain minimum holding period is met. US holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the preferential dividend tax rate on dividends paid by CCEP. For US federal income tax purposes, a dividend must be included in income when the US holder actually or constructively receives the dividend. Dividends paid by CCEP to corporate US holders will generally not be eligible for the dividends received deduction. For foreign tax credit purposes, dividends will generally be income from sources outside the US and will generally, be “passive” or “general” income for purposes of computing the foreign tax credit allowable to a US holder. The amount of a dividend distribution (including any UK withholding tax) on Shares that is paid in a currency other than the US dollar will generally be included in ordinary income in an amount equal to the US dollar value of the currency received on the date such dividend distribution is includible in income, regardless of whether the payment is, in fact, converted into US dollars on such date. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the dividend payment is includible in income to the date the payment is converted into US dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income. Generally, the gain or loss will be income or loss from sources within the US for foreign tax credit purposes. Distributions in excess of CCEP’s earnings and profits, as determined for US federal income tax purposes, will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the US holder’s basis in its Shares and thereafter as capital gain, subject to taxation as described below. Taxation of capital gains Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, a US holder will generally recognise gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of Shares in an amount equal to the difference between the US dollar value of the amount realised on the disposition and the US holder’s tax basis, determined in US dollars, in the Shares. Any such capital gain or loss will generally be a long-term gain or loss, subject to tax at a preferential rate for a non-corporate US holder, if the US holder’s holding period for such Shares exceeds one year. Any gain or loss recognised by a US holder on the sale or exchange of Shares will generally be treated as income or loss from sources within the US for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. PFIC status A non-US corporation is a PFIC in any taxable year in which, after taking into account the income and assets of certain subsidiaries, either (i) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the quarterly average of its assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held to produce passive income. Currently, we do not believe that CCEP Shares will be treated as stock of a PFIC for US federal income tax purposes. However, we review this annually, and therefore this conclusion is subject to change. If CCEP was to be treated as a PFIC, unless a US holder elects to treat CCEP as a “qualified electing fund” (QEF) or to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to its Shares, any gain realised on the sale or exchange of such Shares would in general be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gain. Instead, a US holder would be treated as if he or she had realised such gain rateably over the holding period for Shares and generally would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated. In this case, an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year would apply. Certain distributions would be similarly treated if CCEP were treated as a PFIC. In addition, each US person that is a shareholder of a PFIC may be required to file an annual report disclosing its ownership of shares in a PFIC and certain other information. We do not intend to provide to US holders the information required to make a valid QEF election. Information reporting and backup withholding In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends received by US holders of Shares, and the proceeds received on the disposition of Shares effected within the US (and, in certain cases, outside the US), in each case, other than US holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Backup withholding may apply to such amounts if the US holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent or the US holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against a holder’s US federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is given to the IRS on a timely basis. Certain US holders may be required to report to the IRS on Form 8938 information relating to their ownership of foreign financial assets, such as the Shares, subject to certain exceptions (including an exception for Shares held in accounts maintained by certain financial institutions). US holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of these rules on their obligations to file information reports with respect to the Shares.

Special rules may apply to a non-US holder who was previously a US holder and who again becomes a US holder in a later year. A non-US holder that is a corporation may also be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, as adjusted for certain items. Information reporting and backup withholding Dividends with respect to Shares and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Shares received in the US or through certain US related financial intermediaries by a non-US holder, may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless such non-US holder provides to the applicable withholding agent the required certification showing its non-US status, such as a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against a holder’s US federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is given to the IRS on a timely basis. UK taxation consequences for US holders The following summarises certain UK tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Shares for US holders who are not resident in the UK for tax purposes and to whom split year treatment does not apply, who do not carry on a trade, profession or vocation through a permanent establishment or branch or agency in the UK, and who are the absolute beneficial owners of their Shares and hold such Shares as a capital investment. This information is a general discussion based on UK tax law and what is understood to be the practice of HMRC, all as in effect on the date of publication, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations and change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. It is not a complete analysis of all potential UK tax considerations that may apply to a US holder. In addition, this discussion neither addresses all aspects of UK tax law that may be relevant to particular US holders nor takes into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular US holder. Accordingly, it is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. Distributions on Shares No UK tax is required to be withheld from cash distributions on Shares paid to US holders. In addition, US holders will not be subject to UK tax in respect of their receipt of cash distributions on their Shares. Sale, exchange, redemption or other dispositions of Shares US holders will not be subject to UK tax on capital gains in respect of any gain realised by such US holders on a sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of their Shares. Special rules may apply to individual US holders who have ceased to be resident in the UK for tax purposes and who make a disposition of their Shares before becoming once again resident in the UK for tax purposes. While Shares are held within the DTC clearance system, and provided that DTC satisfies various conditions specified in UK legislation and has not made an election for the alternative system of change under Section 97A of the UK Finance Act 1986 which applies to the Shares (a Section 97A Election), electronic book entry transfers of such Shares should not be subject to UK stamp duty, and agreements to transfer such Shares should not be subject to Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (SDRT). Confirmation of this position was obtained by way of formal clearance by HMRC and we are not aware that any Section 97A Election has been made. Likewise, transfers of, or agreements to transfer, such Shares from the DTC clearance system into another clearance system (or into a depositary receipt system) should not, provided that the other clearance system or depositary receipt system satisfies various conditions specified in UK legislation and that DTC has not made a Section 97A Election, be subject to UK stamp duty or SDRT. In the event that Shares have left the DTC clearance system, other than into another clearance system or depositary receipt system, any subsequent transfer of, or agreement to transfer, such Shares may, subject to any available exemption or relief, be subject to UK stamp duty or SDRT at a rate of 0.5% of the consideration for such transfer or agreement (in the case of UK stamp duty, rounded up to the next multiple of £5). Any such UK stamp duty or SDRT will generally be payable by the transferee and must be paid (and any relevant transfer document duly stamped by HMRC) before the transfer can be registered in the books of the Company. In the event that Shares that have left the DTC clearance system, other than into another clearance system or depositary receipt system, are subsequently transferred back into a clearance system or depositary receipt system, such transfer or agreement may, subject to any available exemption or relief, be subject to UK stamp duty or SDRT at a rate of 1.5% of the consideration for such transfer (or, where there is no such consideration, 1.5% of the value of such Shares). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, a transfer of securities may in certain circumstances be subject to UK stamp duty or SDRT based on the market value of the relevant securities if this is higher than the amount of the consideration for the relevant transfer. THIS SUMMARY IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE OF ALL POSSIBLE TAX CONSEQUENCES. IT IS NOT INTENDED AS LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER OF SHARES AND SHOULD NOT BE SO CONSTRUED. HOLDERS OF SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES APPLICABLE TO THEM IN THEIR OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Selling and distribution expenses increased by €557 million, or 29.0%, versus 2020, primarily driven by newly acquired API operations and an increase in variable expenses such as logistic costs due to higher volumes, partially offset by a continued focus on discretionary spend optimisation in areas such as trade marketing expenses, travel and meetings. Administrative expenses increased by €91 million, or 9.5%, versus 2020, mainly reflecting the continuation of restructuring activity related to the Accelerate Competitiveness programme and costs associated with the acquisition and integration of CCL. 2020 vs 2019 Refer to Other Information – Other Group information – Operations review of the 2020 Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed on 12 March 2021.

Non-operating expenses include remeasurement gains and losses related to currency exchange rate fluctuations on financing transactions denominated in a currency other than the subsidiary’s functional currency. Non-operating items are shown on a net basis and reflect the impact of any derivative instruments utilised to hedge the foreign currency movements of the underlying financing transactions. Non-operating items also include the Group’s share of the profit or loss after tax of equity accounted investments. Tax expense In 2021, our reported effective tax rate was 28.5%. This includes a €127 million deferred tax expense due to the enactment of corporate income tax increases in the UK and the Netherlands as well as an enacted law change in Indonesia which held its statutory income tax rate, reversing a previously enacted rate reduction. In 2020, our reported effective tax rate was 28.3%. This includes a €43 million deferred tax expense due to the enactment of corporate income tax rate increases in the UK and the Netherlands. These increases reverse previously enacted rate reductions.

Based on information currently available, we do not believe we are at significant risk of default by our counterparties. 2020 During 2020, our primary sources of cash included: (1) €1,490 million from operating activities, net of cash payments related to restructuring programmes of €205 million and contributions to our defined benefit pension plans of €52 million; and (2) proceeds of €1.6 billion from the issuance of €600 million 1.75% notes due in 2026, €250 million 1.5% notes due in 2027 and €750 million 0.2% notes due in 2028. The Group satisfies seasonal working capital needs and other financing requirements with operating cash flow, cash on hand, short-term borrowings and a line of credit. In May 2021, and in connection with financing the Acquisition, the Group received net proceeds from new borrowings in the period of €4,877 million issuing the following bonds: €800 million 0% Notes due 2025, €700 million 0.5% Notes due 2029, €1,000 million 0.875% Notes due 2033, €750 million 1.5% Notes due 2041 and $850 million 0.5% Notes due 2023, $650 million 0.8% Notes due 2024, $500 million 1.5% Notes due 2027. At 31 December 2021, the Group had €1,216 million in third party debt maturities in the next 12 months, €286 million of which was in the form of short-term commercial paper and overdraft, €700 million in the form of euro denominated notes and €230 million of Australian dollar denominated notes. In addition to using operating cash flow and cash in hand, the Group may repay its short-term obligations by issuing more debt, which may take the form of commercial paper and/or longer-term debt. Further details regarding the level of borrowings at the year end are provided in Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements. In line with our commitments to deliver long-term value to shareholders, in November 2021 the Board declared a full year dividend of €1.40 per Share, maintaining a dividend payout ratio of approximately 50%. For the year ended 31 December 2021, dividend payments totalled €638 million. On 23 March 2020, in response to COVID-19, the Board took the decision to suspend the share buyback programme. No shares were repurchased in 2021. Credit ratings and covenants The Group’s credit ratings are periodically reviewed by rating agencies. The ratings outlook from Moody’s and Fitch is stable and continue to be investment-grade as at end of 2021. Changes in the operating results, cash flows or financial position could impact the ratings assigned by the various rating agencies. The credit rating can be materially influenced by a number of factors including, but not limited to, acquisitions, investment decisions, and capital management activities of TCCC, and/or changes in the credit rating of TCCC. Should the credit ratings be adjusted downward, the Group may incur higher costs to borrow, which could have a material impact on the financial condition and results of operations.

Operating activities 2021 vs 2020 Our cash derived from operating activities totalled €2,117 million in 2021 versus €1,490 million in 2020. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of API and continued recovery from COVID-19. 2020 vs 2019 Refer to Other Information – Other Group information – Cash flow and liquidity review of the 2020 Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed on 12 March 2021.

In addition, the Group purchases sweeteners, juices, coffee, mineral waters, finished product, carbon dioxide, fuel, pallets, ocean freight, haulage, virgin and recycled PET (plastic) preforms, glass, aluminium and plastic bottles, aluminium and steel cans, pouches, closures, post-mix and packaging materials. The Group generally purchases raw materials, other than concentrates, syrups and mineral waters, from multiple suppliers. The product licensing and bottling agreements with TCCC and agreements with some of our other franchisors provide that all authorised containers, closures, cases, cartons and other packages, and labels for their products must be purchased from manufacturers approved by the respective franchisor. The principal sweetener we use is sugar derived from sugar beets in Europe and sugar cane in API. Our sugar purchases are made from multiple suppliers. The Group does not separately purchase low-calorie sweeteners because sweeteners for low-calorie beverage products are contained in the concentrates or syrups we purchase. The Group produces most of its plastic bottle requirements within the production facilities, half from using preforms purchased from multiple suppliers and the remainder from self-manufactured preforms. The Group believes the self- manufacture of certain packages serves to ensure supply and to reduce or manage costs. The Group manages its continuity of materials and supplies closely, although the supply and price of specific materials or supplies are, at times, adversely affected by strikes, weather conditions, speculation, abnormally high demand, governmental controls, new taxes, national emergencies, natural disasters, price or supply fluctuations of their raw material components, and currency fluctuations. Contractual obligations The following table reflects the Group's contractual obligations as at 31 December 2021: Total Less than 1 year 1 to 3 years 3 to 5 years More than 5 years € million € million € million € million € million Borrowings and interest obligations(A) Lease obligations(B) Purchase agreements(C) 13,599 1,369 2,551 2,274 7,405 699 156 206 109 249 14,547 167 1,692 59 2,816 6 2,389 228 17 7,650 (A) These amounts represent the Group’s scheduled debt maturities and estimated interest payments related to the Group’s long-term debt obligations, excluding leases. Refer to Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements for further details about the borrowings of CCEP. Interest on fixed rate debt has been calculated based on applicable rates and payment dates. Interest on variable rate debt has been calculated using the forward interest rate curve. Refer to Note 26 of the consolidated financial statements for further details about financial risk management within CCEP. (B) These amounts represent the Group’s minimum lease payments (including amounts representing interest), obligations related to lease agreements committed to but not yet commenced and lease payments due under non-cancellable short-term or low value lease agreements. (C) These amounts represent non-cancellable purchase agreements with various suppliers that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify a fixed or minimum quantity that we must purchase. All purchases made under these agreements have standard quality and performance criteria. In addition to these amounts, the Group has outstanding capital expenditure purchase orders of approximately €94 million as at 31 December 2021. The Group also has other purchase orders raised in the ordinary course of business which are settled in a reasonably short period of time. These are excluded from the table above. The Group expects that the net cash flows generated from operating activities will be able to meet these liabilities as they fall due. The above table does not reflect the impact of derivatives and hedging instruments, other than for long-term debt, which are discussed in Note 26 of the consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the exact timing of our tax provisions is not certain and these have been excluded from the above table. Refer to Note 21 of the consolidated financial statements for further information. The above table also does not reflect employee benefit liabilities of €148 million, which include current liabilities of €10 million and non-current liabilities of €138 million as at 31 December 2021.

The Group’s principal properties cover approximately 5.8 million square metres in the aggregate of which 0.9 million square metres is leased and 4.9 million square metres is owned. The Group believes that its facilities are adequately utilised and sufficient to meet its present operating needs. At 31 December 2021, the Group operated approximately 13 thousand vehicles of various types, the majority of which are leased. The Group also owned approximately 1.6 million pieces of cold drink equipment, principally coolers and vending machines. Disclosure controls and procedures Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures The Group maintains “disclosure controls and procedures”, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarised and reported within the time periods specified in the US SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Group’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Group’s management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Group’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as at 31 December 2021. Based on that evaluation, the Group’s CEO and CFO have concluded that the Group’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting The Group’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Group, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the principal executive and financial officers to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with IFRS issued by the IASB. The Group’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the Group’s transactions and dispositions of assets; (2) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorisations of management and the Directors of the Group; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use or disposition of the Group’s assets that could have a material effect on the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. The Group has excluded Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd, which was acquired in May 2021, from its evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as at 31 December 2021. The Group has included the financial results of Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd in the consolidated financial statements from the date of the Acquisition. Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd constituted 33.8% and 6.4% of total assets and net assets, respectively, as at 31 December 2021 and 15.8% and 14.2% of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended. Under guidelines established by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, companies are permitted to exclude acquisitions from their assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the first fiscal year in which the acquisition occurred. Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as at 31 December 2021, using the criteria set forth in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management has determined that the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as at 31 December 2021 was effective. Ernst & Young LLP (EY), the Group’s independent registered public accounting firm, has issued a report on the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as at 31 December 2021, which is set out on page 128. Changes in internal control over financial reporting There has been no change in the Group’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Principal accountants’ fees and services The Audit Committee has established policies and procedures for the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP (Auditor Firm ID: 1438), to render audit and certain assurance and tax services. The policies provide for pre-approval by the Audit Committee of specifically defined audit, audit-related, tax and other services that are not prohibited by regulatory or other professional requirements. EY is engaged for these services when its expertise and experience of CCEP are important. Most of this work is of an audit nature. Under the policy, pre-approval is given for specific services within the following categories: advice on accounting, auditing and financial reporting matters; internal accounting and risk management control reviews (excluding any services relating to information systems design and implementation); non-statutory audit; project assurance and advice on business and accounting process improvement (excluding any services relating to information systems design and implementation relating to CCEP’s financial statements or accounting records); due diligence in connection with acquisitions, disposals and arrangements in which two or more parties have joint control (excluding valuation or involvement in prospective financial information); income tax and indirect tax compliance and advisory services; employee tax services (excluding tax services that could impair independence); provision of, or access to, EY publications, workshops, seminars and other training materials; provision of reports from data gathered on non-financial policies and information; and assistance with understanding non-financial regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee has delegated authority to the Chairman of the Audit Committee to approve permitted services provided that the Chairman reports any decisions to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Any proposed service not included in the approved service list must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee Chairman and reported to the Committee, or approved by the full Audit Committee in advance of commencement of the engagement. The Audit Committee evaluates the performance of the auditor each year. The Committee keeps under review the scope and results of audit work and the independence and objectivity of the auditor. External regulation and CCEP policy requires the auditor to rotate its lead audit partner every five years. See the Audit Committee Chairman’s Letter for further information regarding the rotation of the lead audit partner in 2021. The audit fees payable to EY are reviewed by the Committee for cost effectiveness each year. Details of fees for services provided by the auditor are provided in Note 18 of the consolidated financial statements.

Due to these risks, CCEP’s actual future results, dividend payments, capital and leverage ratios, growth, market share, tax rate, efficiency savings, achievement of sustainability goals and the results of the integration of the businesses following the Acquisition, including expected efficiency and combination savings, may differ materially from the plans, goals, expectations and guidance set out in forward-looking statements (including those issued by CCL prior to the Acquisition). These risks may also adversely affect CCEP’s share price. Additional risks that may impact CCEP’s future financial condition and performance are identified in filings with the SEC which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. CCEP does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required under applicable rules, laws and regulations. Furthermore, CCEP assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of any forward-looking statements. Any or all of the forward-looking statements contained in this filing and in any other of CCEP’s or CCL’s public statements (whether prior or subsequent to the Acquisition) may prove to be incorrect. Forward looking statements This document contains statements, estimates or projections that constitute “forward-looking statements” concerning the financial condition, performance, results, strategy and objectives of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners plc and its subsidiaries (together CCEP or the Group). Generally, the words “ambition”, “target”, “aim”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “project”, “plan”, “seek”, “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might”, “will”, “forecast”, “outlook”, “guidance”, “possible”, “potential”, “predict”, “objective” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from CCEP’s historical experience and present expectations or projections, including with respect to the acquisition of Coca-Cola Amatil Limited and its subsidiaries (together CCL or API) completed on 10 May 2021 (the Acquisition). As a result, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. These risks include but are not limited to: 1. those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of this 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F, including the statements under the following headings: Geodemographic (such as the adverse impacts that war and terrorism, COVID-19 and related government restrictions and social distancing measures implemented in many of our markets, and any associated economic downturn, may have on our financial results, operations, workforce and demand for our products); Packaging (such as refillables and recycled plastics); Cyber and social engineering attacks and IT infrastructure (including third parties); Economic and political conditions (such as increased volatility, inflation, energy and commodity costs, the UK’s exit from the EU, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, and uncertainty about the future relationship between the UK and EU); Market (such as disruption due to customer negotiations, customer consolidation and route to market); Legal, regulatory and tax (such as the development of regulations regarding packaging, taxes and deposit return schemes); Climate change and water (such as net zero emission legislation and regulation, and resource scarcity); Perceived health impact of our beverages and ingredients, and changing consumer buying trends (such as sugar alternatives and other ingredients); Competitiveness, business transformation and integration; People and wellbeing; Relationship with TCCC and other franchisors; Product quality; and Other risks; 2. those set forth in the "Business and Sustainability Risks" section of CCL's 2020 Financial and Statutory Reports; and 3. risks and uncertainties relating to the Acquisition, including the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time consuming or costly than expected, which could result in additional demands on CCEP’s resources, systems, procedures and controls, disruption of its ongoing business and diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; the possibility that certain assumptions with respect to API or the Acquisition could prove to be inaccurate; burdensome conditions imposed in connection with any regulatory approvals; ability to raise financing; the potential that the Acquisition may involve unexpected liabilities for which there is no indemnity; the potential failure to retain key employees as a result of the Acquisition or during integration of the businesses and disruptions resulting from the Acquisition, making it more difficult to maintain business relationships; the potential for (i) negative reaction from financial markets, customers, regulators, employees and other stakeholders, (ii) litigation related to the Acquisition.
