What does Quality Assurance do?

At Coca-Cola HBC, our Quality Assurance (QA) teams ensure that every beverage we produce meets the highest standards of food safety, quality and consistency. From ingredient sourcing to final packaging, QA plays a crucial role in safeguarding our consumers and strengthening trust in our brands. We work hand-in-hand with production and supply chain teams to continuously improve processes, comply with regulatory requirements and innovate for a better, more sustainable future.
