The Coca-Cola Company

World Economic Forum 2008

Over three decades, the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting has provided an unrivalled platform for leaders from all walks of life to shape the global agenda at the start of each year. At the core is its multistakeholder model that leverages the collective wisdom of leaders from business, government, the media, academia, the arts and civil society by building a global platform for collaboration and action to address priorities on the global agenda.

The Power of Collaborative Innovation
Looking to the future, it becomes readily apparent that complexity, competing interests and scarce resources remain the greatest obstacles to progress on the global agenda in the absence of greater leadership and global stewardship. It was in this challenging context that the World Economic Forum highlighted "The Power of Collaborative Innovation" as the principal theme for the Annual Meeting 2008 in Davos.

The links below will take you to media outlet websites where you can gain insight into how the Company is meeting these challenges and helping to build a global platform for collaboration.

Climate Friendly Coolers


The Coca-Cola Company is committed to sustainable refrigeration for its vending equipment. Its Climate Friendly coolers use a CO2 refrigeration system and HFC-free insulation foam that reduce potential direct CO2 equivalent green house gas emissions by approximately 99%. They also contain an intelligent management system reducing energy use and indirect carbon emissions up to 35%. By using these technologies, our typical Climate Friendly Cooler will reduce direct and indirect carbon emissions by over 3 tons over the Cooler's lifetime.
