INTRODUCTION

P a g e | viii
Introduction

Coca-Cola history began in 1886 when the curiosity of an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John S.
Pemberton, led him to create a distinctive tasting soft drink that could be sold at soda fountains.
He created a flavored syrup, took it to his neighborhood pharmacy, where it was mixed with
carbonated water and deemed “excellent” by those who sampled it. Dr. Pemberton’s partner and

P a g e | ix
bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, is credited with naming the beverage “Coca-Cola” as well as
designing the trademarked, distinct script, still used today
Among the biggest challenges for early bottlers, were imitations of the beverage by competitors
coupled with a lack of packaging consistency among the 1,000 bottling plants at the time. The
bottlers agreed that a distinctive beverage needed a standard and distinctive bottle, and in 1916,
the bottlers approved the unique contour bottle. The new Coca-Cola bottle was so distinctive it
could be recognized in the dark and it effectively set the brand apart from competition. The
contoured Coca-Cola bottle was trademarked in 1977. Over the years, the Coca-Cola bottle has
been inspiration for artists across the globe — a sampling of which can be viewed at the World
of Coca-Cola in Atlanta. Check out a preview of the latest art exhibit.

Supply chain overview
Our supply chain plays a central role in our business, ensuring that, in all our processes, we
minimize our environmental impact and ensure sustainability in our value chain.

We produce and distribute more than 2 billion unit cases of our products annually across our
territories. Our supply chain organization, which is responsible for the company's procurement,
planning, manufacturing and engineering, and sustainability, plays a central role in managing
this responsibly; making sure that in all our processes we minimize our environmental impact
and consider sustainability in our value chain - from sourcing raw materials and manufacturing
the end product to distributing it to our customers.

Our success lies with our people's expertise, our absolute focus on quality and our continuous
investment in advanced technologies.

Our mission is to become the leading supply chain function in our industry in terms of customer
service and cost efficiency. To achieve this, we focus our efforts on keeping our people engaged,
excelling in sustainability, reducing our costs and building best-in-class customer service and
responsiveness. Marcel Martin, Coca-Cola HBC Supply Chain Director

Top-in-class quality assurance

In our own business, we are developing a culture where quality is a core value across the entire
organization. We have re-stated our zero tolerance for failure to meet standards and deployed a
maturity continuum measurement to enable us to move our quality and food safety- focused
culture to the next level.

This approach extends to our suppliers, too. Coca-Cola HBC requires tier 1 suppliers to gain
certification to the following standards: ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environment) and
OHSAS 18001 (health and safety). Ingredient and packaging suppliers must also achieve
certification to FSSC 22000 for food safety and the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).

Quality and food safety remain our top priorities, to make sure we meet customer and consumer
expectations while delivering against our cost leadership commitments.

We have stringent processes in place to minimize the occurrence of quality issues. However,
when they do arise, we have robust processes and systems in place so we can deal with them
quickly and efficiently, ensuring that our customers and consumers retain confidence in o ur
products.

Investing in advanced technology to optimize infrastructure

We operate in a vast territory that stretches from County Kerry, Ireland, to Russia’s Pacific coast
and from the Arctic Circle to the tropics of Nigeria. While providing us with great opportunity,
this footprint also challenges us to constantly optimize our operational infrastructure.

Our aim is to build a borderless supply chain than will supply our territory at optimum cost and
have the capability to imbed innovative technologies, fast.

We’re investing in advanced technology to optimize our infrastructure, aiming to build or

Recommendation

P a g e | xxiv
The recommendation of Coca-Cola Company is based on performing various valuation models,
which include HR practices, economic profit analysis, relative valuation and a fundamental price
to earnings valuation model that revealed the Coca-Cola Company to be overvalued. Even
though they find the stock to be overvalued and they feel that KO has some promising outlooks
as well as possible challenges in the near future and they want to recommend it as a hold instead
of a sell.

The Coca-Cola Company is the #1 company within the non-alcoholic beverages industry. They
have a 20- year standing of being the leader and investors know that the Coca-Cola Company has
an extraordinary reputation for maximizing shareholder value.

Opportunities that exist for the company in the future is expanding market share in the non-
carbonated beverages segment, a restructuring of their business model, and better consistency of
earnings results.

A challenge that the Coca-Cola Company is facing is the struggle with their global competitors
in the fact that their HR practices are greater and less than coke. If coke wants to more reputation
in the world they must produce more incentives for employees from which they more done work
hard and produce good quality. Their new management team needs to work on implementing
cohesive goals between the two to reach the Coca-Cola Company's long-term growth potential.
