Brock has played a key role in CCE’s recent, significant distribution agreements, including glacéau, Abbey Well (in Great Britain), Monster and Cadbury Schweppes (in The Netherlands). He has also made it a priority to implement corporate responsibility and sustainability initiatives and business practices throughout CCE, such as operating the largest hybrid electric truck fleet in North America and establishing the subsidiary Coca-Cola Recycling to help lead the way in capturing the equivalent of 100 percent of Coca-Cola’s packaging.
On June 25, 2012, Brock was named Business Leader of the Year at Ethical Corporation's 2012 Responsible Business Awards for leading and implementing Coca-Cola Enterprises' sustainability plan.
