An Introduction To Our Workplace Practices

At The Coca-Cola Company, we support fair employment practices in our relationships with our employees consistent with a commitment to human rights in our workplace, and we seek to provide a safe environment in which to work.

We abide by all applicable labour laws in countries we do business including local laws addressing working hours, compensation, employees’ rights to choose whether to be represented by third parties and to bargain collectively, working conditions and other such workplace practices.

We seek to create a workplace where individuals are treated with dignity, fairness and respect. We recognize value, respect and celebrate the cultural differences and diversity of background and thought of our employees.

Communication

We expect suppliers to communicate these "Guiding Principles for Suppliers to The Coca-Cola Company" to their employees. These principles should be provided in the local language and posted in an accessible place. We also expect suppliers to develop and implement appropriate business mechanisms to monitor compliance with these Guiding Principles.

Work Environment

We expect our suppliers to judge their employees and contractors based upon their ability to do their jobs and not upon their physical and/or personal characteristics or beliefs, affirming the principle of no unlawful discrimination based on race, color, gender, religion, national origin or sexual orientation.

Health & Safety

We expect our suppliers to provide a safe workplace with policies and practices in place to minimize the risk of accidents, injury, and exposure to health risks.

Child & Forced Labour; Abuse Of Labour

We neither expect our suppliers to employ anyone under the legal working age nor to condone physical or other unlawful abuse or harassment, or the use of forced or other compulsory labour in any of their operations.

Wages & Benefits

We expect our suppliers to compensate their employees fairly and competitively relative to their industry in full compliance with applicable local and national wage and hour laws, and to offer opportunities for employees to develop their skills and capabilities.

Collective Bargaining

In the event their employees have lawfully chosen to be represented by third parties, we expect our suppliers to bargain in good faith and not to retaliate against employees for their lawful participation in labour organization activities.
