Coca-Cola’s global commitment to help fight obesity

The Coca-Cola Company announced four global business commitments to further contribute to healthier, happier, and more active communities. These commitments, which apply to the more than 200 countries where we do business, are to:

■ Offer low- or no- calorie beverage options in every market;

■ Provide transparent nutrition information, featuring calories on the front of all of packages;

■ Help get people moving by supporting physical activity programs in every country where they do business;

■ Market responsibly, including no advertising to children under 12 anywhere in the world.

“Obesity is today’s most challenging health issue, affecting nearly every family and community across the globe. It is a global societal problem which will take all of us working together and doing our part,” said Muhtar Kent, chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. “We are committed to being part of the solution, working closely with partners from business, government and civil society. Today’s announcement is another step forward on our journey, as we take action with scale and reach across every country and continent where we operate.”
