2 Letters from our leadership 8 Exploring the links between international business and poverty reduction
Muhtar Kent Chairman and Chief Executive Officer The Coca-Cola Company More than ever it is clear that the world’s most pressing social problems—from poverty to health to education—cannot be solved by government alone. Government, civil society and business must stand together and build innovative partnerships to create lasting solutions to these difficult challenges. The Coca-Cola Company is proud to be at the forefront of these kinds of partnerships, building models of public-private collaboration that push the boundaries of development thinking. As stewards of the world’s most recognized and valuable brand, we recognize that the success and sustainability of our business is inextricably linked to the success and sustainability of the communities in which we operate. The strength of our brands is directly related to our social license to operate, which we must earn daily by keeping our promises to our customers, consumers, associates, investors, communities and partners. To this end, we have created a number of groundbreaking partnerships around issues of watershed management, access to clean water, recycling, small business development and disaster relief. These partnerships are developed through our systemwide initiatives to create positive change in the world in four key areas: Water; Packaging and Recycling; Climate; and Community. This report represents a new kind of partnership; one built on intellectual cooperation. By opening our doors to Oxfam America, one of the world’s most respected nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), The Coca-Cola Company and SABMiIIer have raised the bar for corporate transparency and contributed to building trust between civil society and the private sector. While this partnership may not have beneficiaries in the traditional sense, the insights gained from this report may ultimately benefit many people in our supply chain around the world. Through this work, Oxfam’s development experts have helped identify areas where our business could bring more benefit to more people. We take the content of this report seriously, and we will consider its recommendations with our bottling partner, SABMiller, and our stakeholders, as we strive to create sustainable businesses in El Salvador and Zambia. For the reader, this report is a unique opportunity to see the inside of our business through the eyes of development practitioners. We hope you find it interesting and thought-provoking.
