PART 1:
INTRODUCTION
Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink sold in
stores, restaurants, and vending machines
throughout the world. It is produced by The
Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia, and
is often referred to simply as Coke.
The Coca-Cola Company is the world's largest
number 1 beverage company, largest
manufacturer, distributor and marketer of non-
alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups in
the world, and one of the largest corporations
in the United States. The company is best
known for its flagship product Coca-Cola,
invented by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton in 1886. The Coca Cola formula and brand was
bought in 1889 by Asa Candler who incorporated The Coca-Cola Company in 1892. Besides its
namesake Coca-Cola beverage, Coca-Cola currently offers nearly 400 brands in over 200
countries or territories and serves 1.5 billion servings each day.
The company operates a franchised distribution system dating back to 1889 where The Coca
Cola Company only produces syrup concentrate which is then sold to various bottlers throughout
the world who hold an exclusive territory.
The Coca-Cola Company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Its current president and CEO is
Muhtar Kent.
HISTORY
The Coca-Cola Company was originally established as the J. S. Pemberton Medicine Company,
a co-partnership between Dr. John Stitch Pemberton and Ed Holland. The company was formed
to sell three main products:
Pemberton's French Wine of Cola (later known as Coca-Cola),
Pemberton's Indian Queen Hair Dye and
Pemberton's Globe Flower Cough Syrup.

OBJECTIVES
Objectives give a sense of direction, unity, and purpose. They play a big role in
forming the foundation for companies in the decision making process. Objectives can be
communicated through mission statements. Strategies and tactics both refer to a plan or scheme
but strategies are long term plans that will have significant consequences.
The main objectives for the Coca-Cola Company are
 To be globally known as a business that conducts business responsibility and ethically
and to accelerate sustainable growth to operate in tomorrow's world.
 Coca-Cola should be known world-wide for its distribution of non-alcoholic beverages.
 Their objective is to maintain a trusted local presence in every community they serve.
 They are constantly looking ahead to anticipate what their communities may need and
gathering resources to support them.
 To carry out this objective, they’ve devised a strategy to “build out on fundamental
strengths in marketing and innovation driving increased efficiency and effectiveness in
interactions without system and generating new energy through core brands that focus on
health and wellness.
 Their tactic is to increase their annual marketing budget, launch many new products, and
developed a model to help our retail customers maximize their sales.
 The primary objective is to deliver a superior investment return to shareowners
through consistent increases in long-term operating cash flows and profitable
increases in sales volume.
 Strong cash flow position, which can be derived from consistent performance and lower
investment requirements.
 Average earnings per share growth of approximately 15% over the long term.
 Capital expenditures will be stable to declining from historical trends over the next 5
years, as the investments in the bottling side of the business will be reduced.
 Gradually reduce the dividend pay-out ratio to 30% over time. This reduction will occur
due to an increase in earnings, not due to a decrease in the aggregate amount of the
dividend payment.
 Maintain the net debt-to-net capital ratios that have been shown historically.
By having these objectives, it forms the foundation for companies in the decision making
process.

THE MOST IMPORTANT CEO
Roberto Críspulo Goizueta (November 18, 1931 – October 18, 1997) was Chairman, Director,
and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of The Coca-Cola Company from August 1980 until his
death in October 1997. Under the direction of Goizueta, the Coca-Cola Company became a top
US corporation.
a. CONTRIBUTION MADE BY CEO
In 1984, Roberto Goizueta, then Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, established
The Coca-Cola Foundation. Over the past three decades, The Foundation has grown from a local
foundation into a global philanthropic organization awarding $98 million in 2013 to impact
approximately 134 million people in 122 countries.
1. SHAPING THE COMPANY
The Coca-Cola Company is committed to giving back 1% of its prior year’s operating income
annually. This commitment is made through The Coca-Cola Foundation and Company
donations. In 2013, The Coca-Cola Company and The Coca-Cola Foundation
invested more than $143 million in communities worldwide.

Page 20 of 40
2. PROMOTING THE CORPORATION
Since its inception, the Foundation has supported learning inside and outside the classroom.
However, addressing critical community challenges and opportunities is an evolving process. In
2007, the Foundation broadened its support to include global water stewardship programs, fitness
and nutrition efforts and community recycling programs. Today, our strategies align with the
Company’s Sustainability platform and include women’s empowerment and entrepreneurship.
In addition, the Foundation supports many local community programs such as arts and culture,
community and economic development programs in the United States, as well as HIV/AIDS
prevention and awareness programs in Africa and Latin America.
Our community commitment is shared across The Coca-Cola system. When natural disasters
strike, The Coca-Cola Foundation and the entire Coca-Cola system respond to offer emergency
relief. Through the Coca-Cola Matching Gifts Program, eligible employees make personal
contributions to qualified organizations and The Coca-Cola Foundation matches those
contributions on a 2-for-1 basis.
THE MOST IMPORTANT CEO
In 1999, Kent left the Coca-Cola Company after 20 years of service. Returning to Turkey,
Muhtar Kent became CEO of Efes Beverage Group at Anadolu Group, the largest local
shareholder of the Coca-Cola franchise in Turkey and one of Europe's largest international
beverage businesses.
a. CONTRIBUTION MADE BY CEO
Muhtar Kent, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, leads us into the new
century with a firm commitment to the values and spirit of the world's greatest brand.
1. SHAPING THE COMPANY
In our journey to become a sustainable, profitable growth company, our management structure
has evolved to sharpen external focus on the marketplace with greater speed, productivity and
effectiveness.
2. PROMOTING THE CORPORATION
Since our first soda fountain sales in 1886, we have been a driver of marketplace innovation and
an investor in local economies. Today we lead the beverage industry with more than 500
beverage brands -- including four of the world's top-five sparkling brands. But while our
business opportunities are enormous, our commitment to our consumers and the communities in
which we operate is even greater.

PART 3
PROSPECT FOR THE FUTURE
The Coca-Cola Company aims to be globally known, they do this by targeting different areas
across the globe with different products, gaining their brand name and popularity. All the
bottling partners work closely with their customers such as convenience stores, grocery stores,
movie theaters and street vendors to create and use localized strategies developed in partnership
with the Company. Their competition with other beverage companies are also narrowed down as
they own various brands that could be possible competition. For example, the company sells
Coke without the competition of other popular soft drink brands like Sprite and Fanta because
the company owns those brands as well. The company often reviews and evaluates their business
plans and performance to improve their earnings and analyze their competitive position in the
market. They make decisions in realigning their business models to match the objectives of the
company by using strategies and tactics in the analysis of their performance.

The key difference between Plant Bottle packaging and traditional PET plastic bottles is that
instead of using petroleum and other fossil fuels to produce a key ingredient in the plastic, Plant
Bottle packaging uses materials that are up to 30% plants-based. In essence, we are trading fossil
fuels for plant-based material without sacrificing performance or recyclability.

CURRENT BUSINESS CHALLENGES
There are certain challenges which are faced by the company and recovery measurements are
necessary to be taken immediately.
Changes in consumer tastes. Consumers around the world become more health conscious and
reduce their consumption of carbonated drinks, drinks that have large amounts of sugar, calories
and fat. This is the most serious threat as Coca Cola is mainly serving carbonated drinks.
Water scarcity. Water is becoming scarcer around the world and increases both in cost and
criticism for Coca Cola over the large amounts of water used in production.
Strong dollar. More than 60% of The Coca Cola Company income is from outside US. Due to
strong dollar performance against other currencies firm’s overall income may fall.
Legal requirements to disclose negative information on product labels. Some Coca Cola’s
carbonated drinks have adverse health consequences. For this reason, many governments
consider to pass legislation that requires disclosing such information on product labels. Products
containing such information may be perceived negatively and lose its customers.
Decreasing gross profit and net profit margins. Coca Cola’s gross profit and net profit margin
was decreasing over the past few years and may continue to decrease due to higher water and
other raw material costs.
Competition from PepsiCo. PepsiCo is fiercely competing with Coca Cola over market share in
BRIC countries, especially India.
Saturated carbonated drinks market. The business significantly relies on the carbonated
drinks sales, which is a threat for the Coca Cola as the market of carbonated drinks is not
growing or even declining in the world.
Significant focus on carbonated drinks. The business is still focusing on selling Coke, Fanta,
Sprite and other carbonated drinks. This strategy works in short term as consumption of

Page 23 of 40
carbonated drinks will grow in emerging economies but it will prove weak as the
world is fighting obesity and is moving towards consuming healthier food and
drinks.
Undiversified product portfolio. Unlike most company’s competitors, Coca Cola is still
focusing only on selling beverage, which puts the firm at disadvantage. The overall consumption
of soft drinks is stagnating and Coca Cola Company will find it hard to penetrate to other
markets (selling food or snacks) when it will have to sustain current level of growth.
High debt level due to acquisitions. Nearly $8 billion of debt acquired from CCE’s acquisition
significantly increased Coca Cola's debt level, interest rates and borrowing costs.
Negative publicity. The firm is often criticized for high water consumption in water scarce
regions and using harmful ingredients to produce its drinks.
Brand failures or many brands with insignificant amount of revenues. Coca Cola currently
sells more than 500 brands but only few of the brands result in more than $1 billion sales. Plus,
the firm’s success of introducing new drinks is weak. Many of its introduction result in failures,
for example, C2 drink.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Bottled water consumption growth. Consumption of bottled water is expected to grow both in
US and the rest of the world.
Increasing demand for healthy food and beverages. Due to many programs to fight obesity,
demand for healthy food and beverages has increased drastically. The Coca Cola Company has
an opportunity to further expand its product range with drinks that have low amount of sugar and
calories.
Growing beverages consumption in emerging markets. Consumption of soft drinks is still
significantly growing in emerging markets, especially BRIC countries, where Coca Cola could
increase and maintain its beverages market share.
Growth through acquisitions. Coca Cola will find it hard to keep current growth levels and will
find it hard to penetrate new markets with its existing product portfolio. All this can be done
more easily through acquiring other companies.
The best global brand in the world in terms of value. According to Inter brand, The Coca
Cola Company is the most valued ($77,839 billion) brand in the world.
World’s largest market share in beverage. Coca Cola holds the largest beverage market share

Page 24 of 40
in the world (about 40%).
Strong marketing and advertising. Coca Cola’ advertising expenses accounted for more than
$3 billion in 2012 and increased firm’s sales and brand recognition.
Most extensive beverage distribution channel. Coca Cola serves more than 200 countries and
more than 1.7 billion servings a day.
Customer loyalty. The firm enjoys having one of the most loyal consumer groups.
Bargaining power over suppliers. The Coca Cola Company is the largest beverage producer in
the world and exerts significant power over its suppliers to receive the lowest price available
from them.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Coca Cola is increasingly focusing on CSR programs,
such as recycling/packaging, energy conservation/climate change, active healthy living, water
stewardship and many others, which boosts company’s social image and result in competitive
advantage over competitors.
INCREASES IN PROFIT DUE TO NEW PRODUCT & SERVICES
To switch the focus to profitable growth, Coca-Cola developed Revenue Growth Management
(RGM), a fully integrated business model identifying the complete range of long-term growth
opportunities. BTS worked with more than 470 of Coca-Cola’s most senior managers to create a

Company CEO Muthar Kent recently spoke with the paper about Coca-Cola Life, which is
sweetened with sugar and zero-calorie Stevie and made its debut in Argentina earlier this year. A
20-ounce serving of the soda contains 100 calories, which is less than half of the calories that are
in a 12-ounce can of regular Coke. Is this new product a well-meaning attempt to help slim down
waistlines, however, or a sign of ongoing trouble for the soda industry?

CEO COMPENSATION PATTERN
A publicly-traded company is only required to disclose information concerning the amount and
type of compensation paid to its CEO, CFO, and the three other most highly compensated
executive officers in a given year. Information about compensation for these individuals may be
unavailable in prior years if they were not in their current roles or did not qualify as among the
most highly compensated officers at the time.
Methodology: Compensation rank is based on total compensation for latest fiscal year. Total
compensation for each chief executive includes the following: salary and bonuses; other
compensation, such as vested restricted stock grants, LTIP payouts and perks; and stock gains,
the value realized by exercising stock options. Efficiency rank is based on our chief executive's
performance/pay score. Ranks are given only to chief executives who have a six-year tenure and
six-year compensation history.
The Coca-Cola board, for example, lays out the formula that set the 2013 cash bonus for Muhtar
Kent, its chief executive (base salary x base salary factor x business performance factor). It
explains how a failure to achieve certain goals helped limit the bonus to $2 million, but also
describes how Mr. Kent got millions more in stock and options. It notes that under his
leadership, Coke had “continued to gain value share globally in nonalcoholic ready-to-drink
beverages,” and tells shareholders why the board might require him to fly on the company jet
(“to allow travel time to be used productively for the Company”). What was all that worth? A
tidy $ 18 million.

PART 5 : Corporate Social Responsibility
ANALYSING CORPORATION CSR
Corporate social responsibility may also be referred to as "corporate citizenship" and can involve
incurring short-term costs that do not provide an immediate financial benefit to the company, but
instead promote positive social and environmental change.
Corporate Social Responsibility projects within Coca-Cola Sabco are chosen using decentralized
model within a broad Group Corporate Responsibility Policy. Each territory, and, in South
Africa, each region chooses the community project they would like to support, but are called
upon to justify their selections within the Group Policy and Governance Processes. Additionally,
the Group Policy requires each operation to invest the equivalent of at least one percent of its
operating profit in community projects.
The following section of the report intends to present some examples of how Coca-Cola Sabco
Partners with its communities to provide support in areas where assistance is required. While
Coca-Cola Sabco often provides funding for projects, many of our employees devote their own
time to the initiatives we support and we thank them as well as the many people from the
Community organizations we partner with. Their selfless devotion to securing the welfare of
Others help make the world a place that we can be proud to live in.
HEALTH & WELL BEING
The Company’s operations conduct intervention programs that address
Specific health risks, including HIV/AIDS, malaria and lifestyle diseases such as obesity. In
Nigeria, for example, Coca-Cola Hellenic provides HIV/AIDS education, voluntary counseling,
Testing and anti-retroviral medicines together with government, the Global Business Coalition
on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, local NGOs and The Coca-Cola Company. Awareness
Activities were extended in 2007 to reach 3,000 part-time employees, dealers, suppliers and
Contractors. In Ukraine, all supervisors and managers were trained to manage HIV/AIDS in the
Workplace during 2007.The Company’s Nigerian operations teaches employees to prevent and
control malaria at work and at home. During 2007 a further 5,000 insecticide-treated nets were
provided for employees to use at home. Physical activity and nutrition education are the focus of
Company efforts in countries where obesity and lifestyle diseases are rising. New programs have
been launched in Greece, in addition to those in Hungary, Romania and Ireland.

Page 36 of 40
A FAIR AND ETHICAL WORKPLACE
As a participant in the UN Global Compact, Coca-Cola Hellenic
Upholds internationally recognized labor and human rights standards and commits to fight
Corruption. The Company’s Human Rights Policy and Equality of Opportunity Policy (available
on the Company website) are integrated into management training, and policies are widely
common Child labor is expressly prohibited, and appropriate checks are made during
Recruitment. Approximately 90% of Company operations have implemented policies, and over
11,000 hours of training have been conducted to date.
SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
Protecting freshwater and small farms in South Africa Project Khula is helping small-scale
sugarcane farmers in the KwaZulu- Natal region of South Africa improve their yields and
livelihoods while reducing environmental impacts. The Coca-Cola Foundation provided a
$150,000 grant to help support the project. Launched in September 2010 and named in 2012 with
the Zulu word for “growth,” Project Khula leverages the mentorship program of a local growers
association to train smallholder farmers in better land and catchment management practices. It
aims to support development of more than 3,000 small-scale growers on over 8,400 hectares, and
to help the local sugar mill, the local government and other local stakeholders organize smaller
farms into cooperatives. The cooperatives are expected to help improve productivity and provide
opportunities for funding expansion of the program. Mentors will work with farmers to maintain
and restore riparian areas and increase pesticide use-efficiency. The project also seeks to remove
Invasive plant species threatening freshwater ecosystems and to develop improved sustainable
practices that can be adopted by other South African sugarcane growers. In 2011, the project
team assisted in the formation of two planned cooperatives, engaging 97 farmers who farm about
250 acres. Cane plantings on the farms could eventually produce as much as 8,000 tons of sugar
every two years, providing farmers and their families with a potential collective income of 3
million rand. Farmers also cleared 266 acres of invasive trees and shrubs, helping to conserve
local freshwater sources.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
FRAUD
Rumor: Scam postings claim to show "horrific" video about Coca-Cola
Fact Messages posted on Facebook and Twitter are claiming to provide links that users can click
to view a supposedly "horrific" video showing the "truth" about Coca-Cola.In fact, there is no
such video. Users who try to view the video are instead asked to share links to the content and to
respond to surveys requesting personal information. This activity appears to be part of a phishing
scam in which perpetrators attempt to obtain personal information that can be used to commit
identify theft. Consumers should avoid clicking on these links and should not

Page 37 of 40
provide any personal information. Anyone who has provided information to these
sites should contact their local and/or federal authorities for advice on how to
protect their personal information and privacy.
Rumor: Coca-Cola job offers/job posting websites
Fact The Coca-Cola Company has learned of emails in circulation and postings on internet
websites that falsely offer jobs to individuals. Some examples include: Emails or websites that
offer jobs to individuals willing to collect money on behalf of Coca-Cola for charity work in
Georgia and Asia. The subject line on such emails may read "Coca-Cola Jobs" and may refer to
Coca-Cola Charity Coordinator, Coca-ColaCharityCoordinator@live.com, and/or Tony Cook.
A website using the url www.instanthumanrecources.com that claims to be an official job site for
the Company. The fraudulent job application requests personal information, including Social
Security numbers and copies of driver’s licenses. The website has been designed to look
legitimate by including Company images, photographs and other trademarks.
An offer to pay individuals to place signage on their cars or other vehicles to advertise our
energy drink or other brands.
In some cases, the perpetrators have contacted the victims and falsely claimed to hire them in
order to obtain additional personal and financial information and in some cases have asked them
to cash fraudulent checks and send them money. The Coca-Cola Company is in no way
associated with this website. The jobs listed on the sites or in the emails are not real, we are not a
sponsor, and our name and trademarks are used here without permission. We are currently
investigating the situation with the appropriate authorities
This appears to be a form of fraud known as "phishing," wherein perpetrators attempt to develop
relationships with victims in order to obtain personal and financial information. Common signs
that a message may be a part of an email scam or phishing campaign include:
 Spelling and grammatical errors in the email;
 Improper use of company trademarks;
 Sender's use of free, non-corporate email accounts (such as Yahoo!, AOL, g-mail and
Hotmail);
 Requests for personal information and the promise of quick financial gain.
PUNISHMENTS
In September 2009
SHANGHAI — Police here have detained a former employee of a Coca-Cola bottling plant,
whom they accused of corruption and bribery. The detention of the employee from the Shanghai
Shen-Mei Beverage and Food Company, a bottling plant partly owned by Coca-Cola, was
reported over the weekend by China’s state-run news media, which said the employee took about

Page 38 of 40
$1.5 million in bribes. A spokesman for Coca-Cola, Kenth Kaerhoeg, confirmed
on Sunday that a female middle manager at the plant was detained by Shanghai
police this year and then dismissed by the bottling company.
Mr. Kaerhoeg declined to give further details about the case, but he said Coca-Cola was
cooperating with the investigation.
Calls to Shen-Mei, in which Coca-Cola has a minority stake, went unanswered on Sunday and
Shanghai police officials could not be reached for comment. The detention is the second
prominent bribery case this year involving a global company operating in China.
That corruption drive, coupled with the Rio Tinto case — which initially involved allegations of
stealing state secrets — has unnerved many foreign business people working in China.
But even though corruption is pervasive in China, very few executives working for global
companies have been detained or arrested by Chinese police. Legal experts say that is partly
because investigators focus on the government officials who accept the bribes; but they also say
the government is reluctant to go after foreign companies. There have been indications in
China’s state-run news media, though, that investigators could begin to target multinational
corporations. And many foreign companies operating here are warning employees to use extra
caution because the United States Justice Department has stepped up its enforcement of the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which forbids the paying of bribes to government officials to win
or influence business deals.
In July, Control Components, a company based in California, pleaded guilty to foreign bribery
charges and agreed to pay an $18.2 million fine. The company had been accused of paying bribes
to officials in more than 30 countries over many years, including to Chinese state-owned
companies.
In the Coca-Cola case, the National Business Daily, a Chinese state-controlled publication,
reported over the weekend that the bottling plant middle manager had worked in the marketing
department of the bottling company. Coca-Cola has huge operations in China, including about 38
bottling plants, and about 30,000 employees in China, and is pushing to expand aggressively
here. This year, the company’s move to pay $2.4 billion to acquire one of China’s biggest juice
makers, the Huiyuan Juice Group, was blocked by the Chinese government, which cited antitrust
concerns.

PART 6 :
CONCLUSION
Coca-Cola as a Company has made several mistakes, is making some but at the same time
they are doing their best to rectify them. Their Acts show an inclination towards sustainability
& willingness to support communities. They have sustainability reports and other yearly
reports openly available on their website to ensure more transparency and to involve people in
their activities. They are one of the biggest Companies in the world.• They were at fault at the
Belgian Recall incident. They were initially not that active but later took necessary measures
and acted to rectify those mistakes.
To summarize it can be said that Coca-Cola Company has gone through a number of
challenging situations in the past five years. The major challenge was the protests from the
environmentalists for exploiting the resources. The company has tackled this issue to an
extend by agreeing to the demands of the protesters and the governments. But it should put in
more effort to get back the reputation it had in third world countries. Innovative technologies
that are eco-friendly must be introduced.
The company is now into more and more green initiatives which are a very positive sign. If such
efforts continue, it would undoubtedly be the most reputed and recognized brand in the world.
RECOMMENDATIONS
After completing our project we have concluded some recommendation for the coca cola
company, which are following.
