Think locally. Refresh globally. Global Workforce: 71,000*

*Corporate and Bottling Investments associates are included in the geographic area in which they work.
 Numbers are approximate and as of December 31, 2006.

One of our greatest assets is our local roots. Around the world, in almost 90 percent of more than 200 countries, our beverages are produced by local people with local resources. We create brands that embrace distinct tastes and local preferences. Our 71,000 associates around the world live and work in the markets we serve. In this geographically diverse environment, we learn from each market and share those learnings quickly. As a result, our Company culture is ever more collaborative. From beverage concept and development to merchandising, our associates are sharing ideas across departments and markets in new ways. Consequently, our associates are increasingly enthusiastic about their work and inspired to turn plans into action.

	73% of our unit case volume from operations outside of North America in 2006
	1.4+ billion servings each day worldwide

Our geographic diversity helps to ensure balanced growth. We have the most significant global footprint of any beverage company. International unit case volume growth of 6 percent in 2006 was led by strong growth in Brazil, China, Mexico, the Middle East, North and West Africa, Russia and Turkey. This strong growth, as well as stabilization in the European Union and improving trends in India and Japan, helped offset weak performance in the Philippines and the United States.

We are committed to building sustainable communities. The health of our business depends on the health of the communities in which we operate. Salaries, tax revenues and the multiplier effect of our business help to fuel local economies. For each job created within our system, many additional jobs are created through suppliers, retailers and other business partners. Our contribution is more than just economic. Through our work with many organizations, we strive to improve access to drinkable water, increase HIV/AIDS awareness and provide disaster relief.
