Established in 1886, The Coca-Cola Company operates in more than 200 countries,
and markets nearly 500 brands and more than 3,000 beverage products around the
world. These products include sparkling (carbonated soft drinks) and still
beverages, such as waters, juices and juice drinks, teas, coffees, sports drinks
and energy drinks. In Africa alone, we operate in all the territories in the
continent. We are a global business that operates on a local scale in every
community where we do business. In each one of the countries in which we
operate, we employ local people, source local ingredients and produce and sell
our products locally, thereby directly and indirectly creating millions of
jobs, investment and economic opportunities.
We create global reach with local focus because of the strength of the Coca-Cola
system, which comprises our Company and our independent bottling partners, which
are more than 300 worldwide. Voted for 11 years in a row by Interbrand as the
world’s Most Valuable brand, Coca- Cola’s enduring commitment is to refresh
consumers by delivering the highest quality, best tasting variety of beverages
to satisfy every lifestyle, life stage and occasion.
