At The Coca-Cola Company, they recognize that they cannot have a healthy and growing business unless the communities they serve are healthy and sustainable. As a global beverage company, they have committed themselves to improving the quality of life in the communities where they do business.

Well-being

Community Recycling
They support initiatives to increase liter abatement efforts, advance recovery and reuse, increase community recycling awareness, and offers support for research and innovation.
Education
They are supportive of programs that offer scholarships, school drop-out prevention projects, access to educational programming, and other educational initiatives deemed critical by our local business units.
Locally-Designated Priorities
They also respond to critical local initiatives related to HIV/AIDS education and prevention and malaria in Africa and Latin America, youth development initiatives in Europe and diversity initiatives in the United States.
