As a global company, however, we are just getting started. More than 95 percent of the world’s population resides outside the United States, with over one-third of the population in India and China alone. This is one way of looking at The Coca-Cola Company’s global opportunity: As the world’s economies and populations grow, so do our opportunities.

And yet, we can do better. Every day, consumers enjoy approximately 1.3 billion servings of our products around the world. This is a function of our unrivaled distribution network: the trucks, warehouses, coolers and other infrastructure investments the Coca-Cola system has made over the past 100 years. But it is also a function of our people—the

approximately 50,000 men and women of The Coca-Cola Company and the many employees of our bottling partners—who package and deliver our beverages worldwide.

In marketing, manufacturing, logistics, finance and dozens of other areas, The Coca-Cola Company has some of the industry’s most knowledgeable people.

By applying their insights and expertise more effectively throughout the Coca-Cola system—by executing better every day, around the globe—we will improve our ability to serve customers, connect with consumers and create value for our shareowners.
