Coca-Cola buys Fairlife, applauding the brand’s response to animal abuse video Coca-Cola’s vision for a broader beverage portfolio includes dairy brand Fair- life, which the company backed last year after reports of animal abuse at one of its suppliers. The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) said Jan. 3 it bought 100% of Fairlife LLC, a milk beverage company it’s held a minority stake in since 2012. Financial details of the deal were not released. Copyright © 2020 American City Business Journals - Not for commercial use Fairlife will continue to operate as a stand-alone business based in Chicago. Coca-Cola in 2012 purchased a 42.5% minority stake in the brand as part of a national distribution deal with Select Milk Producers, the sixth-largest milk cooperative in the world. Th ey distribut- ed a product called Athletes HoneyMilk started by Fairlife CEO Tim Doelman. Coca-Cola and Select Milk re-branded and re-launched the product as Core Power, which ultimately led to the creation of Fairlife. Coca-Cola said sales of Fairlife’s ultra-fi ltered milk have produced annual double-digit growth since its 2014 debut. Coca-Cola extended the brand’s reach in part by using its Minute Maid distribution system. Fairlife launched in Canada in 2018 and expects to start local production and sourcing in Ontario in spring 2020. Th e company plans to expand U.S. production capability with a new facility that’s under construction in Goodyear, Ariz. Accord- ing to Nielsen AMC, Fairlife surpassed $500 million in retail sales last year. In June 2019, Coca-Cola and Fairlife addressed video showing animal abuse at Fair Oaks Farm, an Indiana-based supplier for Fairlife. Th e undercover video released by nonprofi t ARM shows Fair Oaks Farm employees kicking, throwing, stomping on and hitting cows with plas- tic bottles. Th ere is also footage of calves left in extreme heat and branded with hot irons. Fairlife said following the video’s release it suspended deliveries from that farm. Coca-Cola released a statement at the time condemning the treatment of the animals and pledged to start independent investigations of all Fairlife suppliers. O=DD:=QGMJ:MKAF=KK Mike Saint John, Fairlife’s then-CEO and a long-time Coca-Cola employee, has since retired and is now a consultant to K9NAF?K;GF;A=J?=& Fairlife, according to Coca-Cola spokesperson Kent Landers.

Others question their safe- RENDERING/SPECIAL/LITTLE 5 CID ty in Little Five Points. As the east side of Atlanta continues to change, this is a growing tension. In December 2009, the median home value in Inman Park was $300,000, according to calculations by real estate listing website Zillow. Ten years later, that number surged to $533,000. Molly Gunn, who has lived in Inman Park since 2006 and opened the Porter Beer Bar in 2008, said Inman Park “used to be a Volvo neighborhood, and now it’s a Tesla neighborhood.” Th e Beltline and the opening of the Krog Street Market and Inman Quar- ter mixed-use developments have been catalysts for the skyrocketing property values. Making everyone welcome in Little Five Points is a key point for the CID. Th e organization, along with neighborhood groups, business and property owners, and the Little 5 Alliance, are discussing upgrades to security, which may include police offi cers and cameras already in place, as well as plainclothes “ambas- sadors” who would work to discourage anti-social behavior. Individuals engaging in illegal activities or harassing others would be the priority for security operations, but it is a complicated issue. Homeless individuals sleeping or occupying space in front of businesses may be asked to move, but there is no intention to police homelessness or kick these individuals out of Little Five Points. Still, Foote admitted balancing the cultural history of the area with the comfort of visitors is a struggle. “Nobody wants to make it a homeless-free zone, but we do need for it to feel safe,” Foot said. “If you have a 5-year- old and a 3-year-old and you live within walking distance in Candler Park, then you want to be able to walk up to see your doctor, because there’s a beautiful pedi- atrician in Little Five Points, and if you don’t feel comfortable doing that, that’s a problem.” Accountability for one’s actions extends to the business owners, Foote stressed. If someone is tarnishing Little Five Points by improperly disposing of garbage, for example, they too will face consequences. It is not uncommon to fi nd a supporter of Little Five Points who is wary of even the smallest changes. Community orga- nizers know this and try to clearly communicate the upgrades coming in 2020 are just that. Remaining a destination for 20A ATLANTA BUSINESS CHRONICLE JANUARY 10-16, 2020
