A Privilege to Support our Communities
Over the last 70 years, partnering with and investing in the communities we serve has always been a core part of the way we do business.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the community networks and partnerships that we have established over the years have allowed us to support those in need, those fighting the pandemic on the frontline and our customers that continue to serve our shared communities. As we do so, keeping our colleagues safe and healthy is our number one priority and lies at the heart of our ability to continue serving our communities. Therefore, wherever they are working, our teams have the protocols and equipment that keeps them – and others – safe.
Global Commitment, Local Action
Globally, The Coca-Cola Company and The Coca-Cola Foundation together with Coca-Cola HBC and all other bottling partners provided a $120 million support package in 2020, focused on the people and organisations engaged in the frontline fight against COVID-19. As a result, each of our markets made significant donations primarily to the Red Cross but also to other NGOs to support frontline work or to purchase medical equipment. An overview of grants provided globally by the Coca-Cola Foundation can be found here.
In addition, we have so far donated almost 5 million litres of beverages to support the work of hospitals, foodbanks, testing centers and NGOs in the countries in which we operate.
