Social and Economic Impact

Coca‑Cola has a long history of investing in the communities where we do business and tackling social challenges to leave a lasting positive impact. ​We want to contribute to a better shared future by investing to improve people’s lives, from our employees to all those who touch our business system, to the communities around the world where we operate. ​The Coca‑Cola Foundation, the philanthropic​ arm of The Coca‑Cola Company, invests in transformative ideas and institutions that address some of our most pressing global challenges.​

Coca‑Cola has a long history of investing in the communities where we do business – and not just through the economic activity that our business generates.

Our flagship brand has a proud heritage in promoting equity and inclusion across borders through its marketing and sponsorships, which remains at the heart of how we take our brands to market today.

We want to contribute to a better shared future by investing to improve people’s lives, from our employees to all those who touch our business system, to the communities around the world where we operate.

We think there are three key ingredients we need to build a better, shared future:

We need Innovation – to come up with the solutions to the social and environmental challenges we face.

We need Inclusion – to ensure everyone can participate fully in society and no one is left behind.

And we need Inspiration – to create a sense of hope that a better future is possible and to stimulate positive action.

Our corporate social impact strategy aims to invest in these three areas to contribute to a better, shared future for our employees, our value chain, our consumers and our communities.
