Coca-Cola Associates Work Smart, Work Healthy in Belgium

February 5, 2008

Healthy living should not stop at the office door, especially if you work for Coca-Cola, which works to promote the importance of a balanced, active lifestyle to its consumers and the communities it serves. This philosophy was brought to life recently at "The Bridge" -- The Coca-Cola Company's headquarters in Brussels, which has unveiled a brand new office concept that encourages associates to have a balanced diet, remain hydrated and be physically active at work.

The Bridge has high quality, on-site sports facilities that offer a choice of a workout and regular fitness classes. Coca-Cola Company associates are also encouraged to get some fresh air while enjoying communal outdoor activities like football or boules. Initiatives like the Velothon -- a cycling event for associates and their families -- are used to raise awareness. For those that prefer, the Company has also made arrangements with neighborhood sports facilities.
