Make Every Drop Count.

Our company is built around two core assets, its brand and its people. That's what makes working here so special. We believe that work is more than a place you go every day. It should be a place of exploration, creativity, professional growth and interpersonal relationships. It's about being inspired and motivated to achieve extraordinary things. We want our people to take pride in their work and in building brands others love. After all, it's the combined talents, skills, knowledge, experience and passion of our people that make us who we are.

We live and work in more than 200 countries and have deep roots in communities around the world. We are intensely committed to the economic success and continued growth of these communities.

We contribute to the economic success of each of these communities through our day-to-day business, by providing jobs in our own operations as well as jobs in businesses we touch along the way. We call it the multiplier effect, where we not only positively affect those directly employed by our business but also create and expand businesses that do business with us.

The Coca-Cola business is essentially a local one. With our bottling partners, we produce our products in more than 800 plants around the world. In those plants and other facilities, we employ local people, pay taxes to governments, pay suppliers for goods, services and capital equipment, and support community investment programs.

Together with The Coca-Cola Foundation, in 2007, we contributed almost $99 million to communities worldwide including community and economic development, disaster relief, culture and the arts, education, the environment, and healthy active lifestyles.

Foundations

Our global foundation, The Coca-Cola Foundation, and our other 18 local and regional foundations provide our Company with the means to help improve the well-being of society. We work with people in communities and governmental organizations and nongovernmental organizations to create and support projects most relevant to communities. Our programs, which also include customized local initiatives, converge in the areas of the environment, fitness and active lifestyles, community recycling, and education.
