The Coca-Cola Company is a total beverage company with products sold in more than 200 countries and territories. With a purpose to refresh the world and make a difference their portfolio of brands includes Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta and other sparkling soft drinks. Coca‑Cola is the most popular and biggest-selling soft drink in history. In Nigeria, the company serves approximately 180 million people by producing and distributing a portfolio of brands, bringing passion to marketplace implementation and demonstrating commitment in corporate social responsibility.
The Company is constantly transforming its portfolio – from reducing sugar in their drinks to bringing innovative new products to market – by focusing on issues that are priorities for the business and its stakeholders. These include positively impact people’s lives, communities and the planet through water replenishment, packaging recycling, sustainable sourcing practices and carbon emissions reductions across the value chain.
THE COCA-COLA FOUNDATION
Launched in 1984, the Coca-Cola Foundation is the company’s primary international philanthropic arm. The Coca-Cola Company commits to giving back 1% of its prior year’s operating income annually through the Foundation.
Since its inception in 1984, the Foundation has awarded more than $1 billion in grants to support sustainable community initiatives around the world.
THE SAFE BIRTH INITIATIVE
The Safe Birth Initiative was launched to support the attainment of the SDG targets on maternal and newborn deaths reduction. This initiative aims at focusing on strengthening the capacity of selected public hospitals through procurement of vital maternal and neonatal medical equipment and supplies; training biomedical engineering technicians to improve equipment maintenance and uptime; and reactivating a large stock of abandoned medical equipment wasting away in public hospitals.
WORLD WITHOUT WASTE
The purpose of the World Without Waste campaign is to make the world’s packaging waste problem a thing of the past. Three fundamental goals of this campaign include:
- To make 100% of their packaging recyclable globally by 2025—and use at least 50% recycled material in their packaging by 2030;
- To collect and recycle a bottle or can for each one we sell by 2030;
- To work together to support a healthy, debris-free environment.
This campaign represents Coca-Cola’s commitment to doing business in a way that eliminates waste which causes damage to the environment and supports job creation and financial empowerment. It has thus led to partnerships with bottling partners, environmentalists, industry peers, regulators, retailers, and others to dramatically reduce the impact of packaging waste on the environment.
