HIV/AIDS and malaria
We formalised our policy on HIV/AIDS in 2004. Its guiding principles are confidentiality, non-discrimination and reasonable accommodation.
The policy was developed in accordance with the Joint United Nations (UN) Programme on HIV/AIDS, the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and The Coca-Cola Company Africa corporate guidelines.
We seek to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS on employees, their families, communities and our company. Where appropriate, we provide education, counselling and testing. We conduct awareness and prevention campaigns in countries where the disease poses a particular threat.

We have prioritised our efforts in Nigeria, which has significantly higher HIV/AIDS incidence rates compared to other countries where we operate. We also conduct malaria prevention programmes to help tackle a disease that is easily preventable and curable, yet remains a major public health concern. We are a member of the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GBC), a business organisation dedicated to combating the AIDS epidemic by harnessing the private sector's skills and expertise. |
