Empowering 5 Million Women by 2020
In September 2010 we announced a 10-year global initiative to empower 5 million women through the Coca-Cola system. Our Chairman and CEO, Muhtar Kent, issued this challenge to our business system and committed to taking the next year to enter into dialogue with our associates, civil society and governments about how we can best reach this goal in partnership.
