People and Brands-The Source of our Strength
For all of its worldwide reach and complexity, the remarkable strength of The Coca-Cola Company finds its roots in two key things: our people and our brands.
People
As the world’s best-known brand, Coca-Cola is by its very nature inclusive. Our Company, a reflection of the many countries and cultures in which we do business, strives to be as inclusive as the brand itself. The business rationale for a diversity of people, cultures and ideas has never been more compelling: the more diverse our thinking, the more opportunity for innovation.
In 2003, our North America operating segment was restructured. Previously separated into three business units—North America bottle/can, North America fountain and The Minute Maid Company—our North America operating segment is now synchronized with our bottling partners to increase synergies and efficiencies. Today, our workforce collaborates as a single point of contact to better serve our customers.
Brands
Globally, The Coca-Cola Company owns or licenses nearly 400 brands in the nonalcoholic beverage business. Many of those brands are considered among the world’s most valuable. Some of these include:
Carbonated soft drinks
such as Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Fanta, Sprite and Fresca
Juices and juice drinks
such as Minute Maid, Qoo, Fruitopia, Maaza and Bibo
Sports drinks
such as POWERADE and Aquarius
Water products
such as Ciel, Dasani and Bonaqua
Teas
such as Sokenbicha and Marocha
Coffee
such as GEORGIA coffee, the best-selling noncarbonated beverage in Japan.

A significant portion of our tea and coffee business is operated by Beverage Partners Worldwide, our 50/50 joint venture with Nestlé, S.A.
