Our people, culture, vision & values =
At Coca-Cola, we aim high. And with more than 120 years' experience of extraordinary success, we know how to focus our efforts and achieve what we set out to do.
Our mission is simple. We aim:
- To refresh the world ...in body, mind and spirit.
- To inspire moments of optimism through our brands and our actions.
- To create value and make a difference... everywhere we engage.
The Coca-Cola Vision
So how do we fulfill our aims?
Over many years we've focused, reshaped and honed our vision so that today, we have a unique structure, the Coca-Cola System, which helps us work with our bottling partners, focusing on the following areas to deliver on our mission.
- People: We are a great place to work where people are inspired to be the best they can be.
- Planet: We are a responsible global citizen that makes a difference.
- Partners: We nurture a winning network of partners and build mutual loyalty.
- Portfolio: We bring to the world a portfolio of beverage brands that anticipate and satisfy people's desires and needs.
- Profit: We maximise return to shareowners while being mindful of our overall responsibilities.
Looking at our success over recent years, it's clear to see that we're succeeding in all these areas. We continue to post impressive profits. Our global network of bottlers has never been stronger. And, just as importantly, with each year that passes, we run our business more sustainably than ever.
A unique culture
So what's behind our success? We believe it's down to the unique culture that we share at Coca-Cola and that we nurture in all that we do. For our people, it's based on one thing: passion. But that doesn't mean there's any one single formula required to succeed. We believe there's an infinite number of combinations.
Some of us are brilliantly analytical and technically creative. Some shine as leaders and innovators. Others are deeply committed to change and are always on the look-out for more sustainable ways of doing things. The list is long.
Yet underlying this variety, there is something that we all share: we can convert our passion into action. There's a very clear framework that we work within that gives us plenty of room for creativity and, critically, the freedom to experiment with new ideas. Put that all together and you have an environment where everyone can make their passion come alive with real, tangible benefits for the business.
Our values
Together with our passion for success, there are a number of other values embedded in our culture, values that we all share:
- Leadership: the courage to shape a better future
- Integrity: be real
- Accountability: if it is to be, it's up to me
- Collaboration: leverage collective genius
- Innovation: seek, imagine, create, delight
- Quality: what we do, we do well.
