The Coca-Cola Company is the largest manufacturer, distributor and marketer of nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups in the world. Finished beverage products bearing our trademarks, sold in the United States since 1886, are now sold in more than 200 countries and include the leading soft drink products in most of these countries. In this report, the terms "Company," "we," "us" or "our" mean The Coca-Cola Company and all subsidiaries included in our consolidated financial statements. Our business is nonalcoholic beverages-principally carbonated soft drinks, but also a variety of noncarbonated beverages. We manufacture beverage concentrates and syrups, as well as some finished beverages, which we sell to bottling and canning operations, distributors, fountain wholesalers and some fountain retailers. We also produce, market and distribute juices and juice drinks and certain water products. In addition, we have ownership interests in numerous bottling and canning operations. We were incorporated in September 1919 under the laws of the State of Delaware and succeeded to the business of a Georgia corporation with the same name that had been organized in 1892. Our Company is one of numerous competitors in the commercial beverages market. Of the approximately 50 billion beverage servings of all types consumed worldwide every day, beverages bearing our trademarks ("Company Trademark Beverages") account for more than 1.2 billion. We believe that our success depends on our ability to connect with consumers by creating brands they love. It further depends on the capacity of our people, together with our bottling partners, to find new and appealing ways to deliver those brands to thirsty people everywhere. Our Company has adopted an approach to its business that is based on the following strategic priorities: • Accelerate carbonated soft-drink growth, led by Coca-Cola • Selectively broaden our family of beverage brands to drive profitable growth • Grow system profitability and capability together with our bottling partners • Serve customers with creativity and consistency to generate growth across all channels • Direct investments to highest-potential areas across markets • Drive efficiency and cost effectiveness everywhere | |
