Thus, with the installation of water systems and knowledge shared to communities, these communities now have more economic opportunities, increased agricultural productivity, and better sanitation, health, and overall improvement of life.Coca-Cola ensures responsible water stewardship in its operations— efficient water practices and systems are strictly implemented across its 19 plants in the country.
A firm advocate of education as well, Coca-Cola made sure that safe water flows from the faucets of the schools wherein they have built classrooms for their Little Red Schoolhouse project.
