Our Company moved up five spots to the No. 2 position in this year's "Top of Mind" ranking of Argentina's most admired companies. The annual study is conducted by El Clarín, the country's leading newspaper.

Out of the 10 attributes measured, Coca-Cola leads "Quality of Products and Services," "Creativity" and "Track Record," and runs second in "Quality of Management," "Adaptability to Changing Environment," "Strategic Vision" and "Corporate Social Responsibility."

El Clarín cited the Coca-Cola system's "Futuro Cercano" (Near Future) education initiative, which comprises five programs in Argentina focused on scholarship support, nutrition education, school renovations and education training courses.
