Our Progress
HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2006 & 2007
Our People
According to the 2006 Employee Insights survey, 96 percent of associates
agreed that the Company has established diversity as an important
component of its business strategy.
DiversityInc
The Coca-Cola Company came in at No. 4 on The 2007
DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity® list and
performed well in two DiversityInc specialty categories --
Top 10 Companies for Recruitment & Retention (No. 5) and Top
10 Companies for Asian-Americans (No. 6). A total of 317 companies
competed for a spot, a 100 percent increase in corporate participation
in the Top 50 competition over the last three years. Now in its
seventh year, The DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity
list is determined solely from a comprehensive survey of diversity
management that measures CEO commitment, human capital, corporate
communications and supplier diversity.
Human Rights Campaign
For the second straight year (2007), the nation's largest lesbian
and gay rights organization, The Human Rights Campaign (HRC), has
given The Coca-Cola Company a 100 percent rating for its workplace
policies for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) associates.
The HRC's Corporate Equality Index measures the extent to which
employers promote workplace fairness for their GLBT employees, measuring
factors like non-discrimination policies, diversity training and
benefits.
Hispanic Business
The Company also ranked No. 17 on Hispanic Business magazine's
"Diversity Elite 60." The annual ranking, featured in
the publication's September 2007 issue, is determined by more than
30 variables that measure companies' commitments to Hispanic hiring,
promotion, marketing, philanthropy and supplier diversity. According
to Hispanic Business, companies on this year's list went beyond
workforce diversity initiatives and implemented strategies to reach
more Hispanic consumers and increase their businesses with minority-
and Hispanic-owned suppliers.
Essence
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.
TASK FORCE REPORT
On December 1, 2006, an external body that provides oversight to The
Coca-Cola Company submitted their fifth comprehensive assessment of
our progress against the initiatives that we have implemented since
the discrimination lawsuit settlement with the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia in November 2000.
