ESSENCE Lists The Coca-Cola Company Among Top Companies For African-American Women

March 29, 2007

The Coca-Cola Company made ESSENCE magazine's 2007 list of the top 25 employers for African-American women.

ESSENCE compiled this year's list by asking more than 60 business insiders -- headhunters, human resources representatives, research firms and nonprofit organizations -- to nominate companies with solid reputations for hiring, retaining, supporting and promoting African-American women. The magazine's editorial staff then conducted additional research to find exceptional programs and policies within these organizations geared toward African-American women.

One way our Company levels the playing field for African-Americans is by creating partnerships with groups like the National Black MBA Association in our search for capable and experienced employees. Our commitment to minority suppliers includes mentoring and developing minority- and women-owned businesses.
