COMING TOGETHER

For over 125 years [01], we’ve been bringing people together. Today, we’d like people to come together on something that concerns all of us: obesity. The long term health of our families and the country is at stake [02]. And as the nation’s leading beverage company, we can play an important role [03].

Across our portfolio of more than 650 beverages, we now offer over 180 low and no-calorie choices. And most of our full calorie beverages now have low or no calorie versions.

Over the last 15 years, this has helped to reduce the average calories per serving across our industry’s products in the US by about 22%. We’ve created smaller-portion controled sizes for our most popular drinks and will have them in about 90% of the country by the end of this year [04].

We’ve added the calorie content of all our beverages on the front, to help make it even easier for people to make informed decisions.

For elementary, middle, and high schools our industry has voluntarily changed its offerings to primarily waters, juices, and low and no-calorie options. This has helped to reduce the calories from our industry’s beverages in those schools by 90% since 2004.

We support programs like the Boys & Girls Club of America that enable young people to get active and start healthy habits early.

Leading is also about new thinking which is why we will continue to work with scientists and nutritionists on innovative things like zero calorie all-natural sweeteners [05].

But beating obesity will take action [06] by all of us. Based on one simple common sense fact: all calories count. No matter where [07] they come from. Including Coca-Cola and everything else with calories. And if you eat and drink more calories than you burn off [08], you’ll gain weight [09].

The well-being [10] of our families and communities concerns everyone. And finding a solution will take continued effort from all of us. But at Coca-Cola, we know when people come together, we can make a real difference.
