It still seems like yesterday. Time has flown by but it has been a very exciting, engaging and satisfying journey. The kind of experience that a business manager has in India, is very distinct and demanding, when compared to running a business in other parts of the world. Things are so dynamic and fast changing here, that it is almost like waking up in a new India every morning. Over the last eight years, as a system and as a team, we have the satisfaction of having turned the corner for our business in India. India now ranks as the 7th largest market for The Coca-Cola Company from being 19th on the list in 2006. More importantly, we have built a solid foundation for our business and are on course to achieve our 2020 Vision. Having achieved our immediate goals, the time is now right for a new leader to take over the operational responsibilities of India and South West Asia Business Unit. I am glad that the Company has entrusted Venkatesh Kini to lead this Business Unit, reporting into me. Venkatesh is a seasoned Coca-Cola hand, having served in various roles in the Company. Most of you would remember him as the Head of Marketing for the Business Unit between 2006-10. Also starting July 1, I will operate as the Deputy President, Pacific Group, with the additional responsibility of Pacific countries – China, Korea, Taiwan, Mongolia, Hong Kong and Macau. These are in addition to the operational supervision that I will have for the India and five South West Asian countries (Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Maldives). I am excited at the opportunity that lies ahead of me, especially, in India and China. These are one of the biggest economies in the world and growing at a significant rate. The two combined already contribute to about 10% of The Coca-Cola Company’s volumes. A look at the per capita consumption indicates that both India and China are in the low double digits (India at 14 and China at 39) in comparison to the global average of 94. In these two geographies, we therefore need to focus on capitalizing on the latent opportunity. We also have large investments laid out for both India and China and that will stand us in good stead. I also see a significant amount of best practice sharing that can happen between these two large but similar markets. I am really looking forward to this assignment. I take this opportunity to thank all of you for your feedback and support and I expect this to continue in the future Warm regards, Atul Singh President and CEO, Coca-Cola India and South West Asia Business Unit India and South West Asia CONNECT April-June 2013 2 Sunil Chettri, Venkatesh Kini, Sachin Tendulkar, Varun Dhawan, Deepak Jolly, Rob Bann celebrate with the winning team Coca-Cola Cup U-15 Expanding grassroots Football in India A single goal was all the Meghalaya state football team Over 41,000 young footballers from 2,610 schools needed to beat rivals Odisha 1-0 at the national finals participated in the tournament.

    Coca-Cola La historia negra de las aguas negras Gustavo Castro Soto CIEPAC COCA-COLA LA HISTORIA NEGRA DE LAS AGUAS NEGRAS (Primera Parte) La Compañía Coca-Cola y algunos de sus directivos, desde tiempo atrás, han sido acusados de estar involucrados en evasión de impuestos, fraudes, asesinatos, torturas, amenazas y chantajes a trabajadores, sindicalistas, gobiernos y empresas. Se les ha acusado también de aliarse incluso con ejércitos y grupos paramilitares en Sudamérica. Amnistía Internacional y otras organizaciones de Derechos Humanos a nivel mundial han seguido de cerca estos casos. Desde hace más de 100 años la Compañía Coca-Cola incide sobre la realidad de los campesinos e indígenas cañeros ya sea comprando o dejando de comprar azúcar de caña con el fin de sustituir el dulce por alta fructuosa proveniente del maíz transgénico de los Estados Unidos. Sí, los refrescos de la marca Coca-Cola son transgénicos así como cualquier industria que usa alta fructuosa. ¿Se ha fijado usted en los ingredientes que se especifican en los empaques de los productos industrializados? La Coca-Cola también ha incidido en la vida de los productores de coca; es responsable también de la falta de agua en algunos lugares o de los cambios en las políticas públicas para privatizar el vital líquido o quedarse con los mantos freáticos. Incide en la economía de muchos países; en la industria del vidrio y del plástico y en otros componentes de su fórmula. Además de la economía y la política, ha incidido directamente en trastocar las culturas, desde Chamula en Chiapas hasta Japón o China, pasando por Rusia.

  • Football Diplomacy Research Fellow Tel
    POLICY BRIEF November 2005 ANTHONY BUBALO Football Diplomacy Research Fellow Tel. +61 2 8238 9140 [email protected] What is the problem? While Australian governments have successfully built pragmatic ties with Asian leaders, a popular dimension to our engagement with Asia has in many respects been missing. This didn’t matter greatly in the past, but today public opinion is increasingly a factor in foreign policy. Governments must influence individuals as well as elites to address global problems such as terrorism and disease and ‘branding’ has become critical to a state’s ability to attract trade, investment and international political support. But a new opportunity to deepen people-to-people links with Asia has arrived in the form of Australia’s recent admission into the Asian Football Confederation. For the first time, Australia will have a significant sporting relationship with Asia. The question is, how can Australia best use this opportunity to enhance its regional image and engagement? What should be done? Here are five ideas for how government, business and the broader community might leverage Australia’s new sporting relationship with Asia: • Football Federation Australia (FFA) should work with business and government to establish a ‘Football Asia Council’ to coordinate commercial, cultural, and public diplomacy programs with Australian participation in Asian football competitions. • FFA, business and government should launch a coordinated effort through this Council to develop football-based tourism and travel. • Austrade should establish a ‘Football Business Club Australia’ to facilitate commercial networking opportunities during matches between Australian and LOWY INSTITUTE FOR Asian teams. FFA should also consider initiating a tri-nations series with Japan INTERNATIONAL POLICY and South Korea, providing an opportunity for greater commercial, cultural, and 31 Bligh Street political engagement with these key countries.

Many companies and organizations have made investigations and reports to enable them to reach this full potential. The purpose of the present research was to study the level of consumer awareness towards corporate responsibility through the role of media channels. The objective was to study the scope of corporate responsibility from the consumer perspective and provide an association between theories and practical solutions. A further aim was to explain historical roots and the development of the concept, as well as the ideologies behind it and study customers’ awareness about the phenomenon; one important factor being the media. The theoretical framework is constructed on a literature review consisting of various books, academic and non-academic articles, and online publications. A qualitative interview with 20 participants was used to elicit the consumer viewpoint. Coca-Cola Company’s sustainability and GRI reports and strategies for the 2011-2013 financial years were analysed. The results indicate that the functional utilization of corporate responsibility requires concrete actions rather than a polished veneer.
