Coca-Cola, often referred to as Coke, is a caffeinated and carbonated soft drink produced by The Coca-Cola Company1. It is the highest-grossing cola brand1.

The Coca-Cola Company aims to refresh the world and make a difference. Their growth strategy is grounded in their core values and commitment to social and environmental responsibility2. They have set sustainability goals and initiatives that are core to their growth strategy2.

They offer beverage choices for all occasions, tastes, and lifestyles, and have several brands under their umbrella2. Some of their major steps include supporting a circular economy for plastic packaging and accelerating action on water during the UN 2023 Water Conference2.

They also have a purpose-driven history and have remained true to their purpose for 137 years2.

Coca-Cola: Products

Coca-Cola was born at a soda fountain in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, in 18861. It was created by Dr. John Pemberton, who brought his perfected syrup to Jacobs’ Pharmacy where the first glass of Coca-Cola was poured1. In its first year, Coca-Cola served about nine drinks per day1.

The drink was originally touted as a tonic for most common ailments, with its formula based on cocaine from the coca leaf and caffeine-rich extracts of the kola nut2. The cocaine was removed from Coca-Cola’s formula around 19032.

By 1891, another Atlanta pharmacist, Asa Griggs Candler, had secured complete ownership of the business (for a total cash outlay of $2,300 and the exchange of some proprietary rights), and he incorporated the Coca-Cola Company the following year2. Under Candler’s leadership, sales rose from about 9,000 gallons of syrup in 1890 to 370,877 gallons in 19002.

Coca-Cola has been a catalyst for social interaction and inspired innovation since its inception1. It has a rich history of sustainability efforts, iconic bottle design, and famous commercials1. Today, Coca-Cola is the largest beverage manufacturer and distributor in the world, one of the largest corporations in the United States, and one of the most successful brands in marketing history2.
