#BoycottCocaCola

Coca-Cola continues business in Russia, and its business tax supports Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Don't buy any of these products.

nexta is reporting otherwise, HOWEVER, i can't find a peep from any other news media

Support for Ukraine
Date Published:

03/03/2022


Over the last few days, everybody at Coca-Cola has been following the news from Ukraine with heavy hearts. Our thoughts are with those affected.

Our focus is on our people and supporting humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine and the region. Our actions are coordinated with our bottling partner, Coca-Cola HBC. Together, our priority is the safety and wellbeing of our employees and their families. We remain in constant contact and are doing everything we can to support them and our communities.

This week, with Coca-Cola HBC, we have committed to €1 million to support the brave efforts of the Red Cross movement operating in Ukraine. We are also contributing to Red Cross organizations in the neighboring nations of Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland donating beverages and a further €550,000 to support refugees in these countries.

While these are our actions today, we will continue to monitor the situation closely. We thank our colleagues for their compassion and support for each other in this difficult time.

Our overriding hope is for peace in the region.
