Message from Leadership

Dear Friends,
Wishes for a happy, fulfilling 2015. As Coca-Cola says, this year will be better than the last!
We have now over twenty but the journey has just begun. Twenty one years is not a big
milestone for The Coca-Cola Company, given our 128 year heritage. But as I think about this, I
realize that there is so much that has changed in India and in our business. There were no mobile
phones when Coca-Cola re-entered India, there were only a handful of TV channels, there were
approximately 30,000 telegrams sent from one post office, every day, the highest grossing Hindi

film had done business worth Rs. 14 crores and Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly hadn't got
their India caps. And of course, there was no Coca-Cola, nor was there a McDonald's value meal
to go with it!
The beverage business has also changed beyond recognition. Two decades ago, the per capita
consumption of soft drinks was 3, the pre-dominant package was the returnable glass bottle,
there were limited choices of beverages, packaged drinking water was not a part of our lives, we
hadn't seen push carts and bicycle carts with molded plastic ice boxes as point of sale for soft
drinks and we didn't know that PET packaging could change our lives. We have moved on since
then and for the better.
Today, packaged beverages are a convenient and safe source of hydration, refreshment and
nutrition. Our lives are much easier with the pick and go options of packaged beverages. They
are a part of our everyday lives and they count as good value-for-money options. The per capita
consumption of soft drinks is now estimated at 20. However, given the current demographics,
economics and cultural patterns, my own estimate is that it will take only 5-6 years for India to
get to a per capita of 40. What is more, in the process, the packaged beverage industry has
catalyzed economic growth, technological advancement and provided direct & indirect
employment opportunities to hundreds of thousands of people across the country.
Coca-Cola India will continue to play its part in the packaged beverage revolution in the country.
Our priorities are:

Further building love for our brands our brands are already some of the most preferred
and largest selling beverages in the country. We will use the "screen to shelf" model to
bring this to life

Great execution in the marketplace in collaboration with our bottling partners

Creating necessary manufacturing and distribution infrastructure to meet consumer

demand

Provide a wider choice of high quality, great tasting beverages including diet and light
drinks

Continue to do business in an ethical, sustainable manner

We have already announced an investment plan of USD 5 BN between 2012 and 2020 to achieve
our business goals. Our bottling partners are aligned to the company's business priorities and we
are building on a solid foundation for our business.
It has been a privilege playing a small part in the growth and development of the country and our
communities and I thank each one of you who have supported us in our journey over the last
twenty years. We are counting on your continued support and feedback to help make the CocaCola India business one of the top five businesses of the Company globally.
Thank you for being with us and thank you for opening happiness! We look forward to spreading
more cheer and happiness in 2015.
Venkatesh Kini,
President Coca-Cola India & South West Asia

Our Well-Being Approach

Working to Inspire Happier Healthier Lives

Our commitment to well-being begins with our focus on product and ingredient safety and
quality. We want to ensure that consumers have the utmost confidence that our products are made
to the highest standards for ensuring consistent product safety and quality. As a global
corporation with operations in markets large and small, we make it a priority to help improve the
well-being of our consumers, our employees and the communities we proudly serve. We
recognize the rising incidence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles as serious and complex global
health challenges. Through partnerships and collaborations across the Golden Triangle of
governments, industry and civil society, we are working to promote well-being and to help
address these issues in a number of ways. CCIPL has embraced innovation to grow and evolve
with our consumers needs and preferences. One way we do this is by offering a broad portfolio
of beverage choices that provide great taste and refreshmentwith or without calories. We are
also working to help inspire, empower and engage people worldwide regarding the importance of
an active, healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Throughout
our system, we are mobilizing our collective assets and engaging in community outreach to raise
awareness and spur action.

Provide transparent nutrition information, featuring calories on the front of all of our
packages.

Help get people moving by supporting physical activity programs in every country where
we do business.

Market responsibly, including no advertising to children under the age of 12 anywhere in

the world.

Global Goal: Offer low-or no- calorie beverage options in every market
We recognize the uniqueness of our consumers lifestyles and dietary choices and offer a variety

some of our global billion dollar brands available in India), Thums Up, Maaza, Burn (energy

35% children under 12.

Message from Leadership

Dear Friends,
World Environment Day (WED) is marked on 5th June every year. Initiated as the United
Nations principal vehicle for encouraging worldwide awareness and action for the environment,
over the years it has grown to be a broad, global platform for public outreach that is widely
celebrated by stakeholders in over 100 countries. It also serves as the peoples day for doing
something positive for the environment, galvanizing individual actions into a collective power
that generates an exponential positive impact on the planet.
The WED theme this year is "Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care." The wellbeing of humanity, the environment, and the functioning of the economy, ultimately depend upon
the responsible management of the planets natural resources. And yet, evidence is building that
people are consuming far more natural resources than what the planet can sustainably provide.
For The Coca-Cola Company, the concept of sustainable development is at the heart of our
business. We have continuously been striving to create lasting positive impacts on the
communities we proudly serve, actively leveraging partnerships with communities and
government agencies an approach we call the Golden-Triangle, which helps take forward, the
theme for this years WED.
Like in previous years, we are once again taking the opportunity to mark World Environment
Day by initiating activities in our bottling units around innovative water saving ideas, waste
reduction, energy saving and community cleaning.
As our system takes small but significant steps towards the cause of environment, I urge you all
to also contribute in your own way towards the planet. Please also spread awareness about this
day, about consuming with care, using the power of new age media with #consumewithcare.
My wishes for World Environment Day!

Human and Workplace Rights
Approach
At The Coca-Cola Company, our respect for human and workplace rights is engrained in our
culture and guides our interactions with suppliers, customers, consumers, employees and
the communities we serve. Our commitment to respecting human rights guides the way we
conduct business and governs all aspects of our work, from the suppliers we work with, to how
we engage each other in the workplace, to our interaction with customers, consumers and
the communities we serve.
In 2011, TCCC formally endorsed the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights,
adopted by UN Human Rights Council in 2011. We have implemented all three of the
components that must be put in place under the Principles for companies implementing respect
for human rights in a corporate context:

A policy commitment to meet the responsibility to respect human rights

A due diligence process to identify, prevent, mitigate and be accountable for human rights
abuses; and

Processes to enable the remediation of any adverse human rights impacts the company
causes or to which it contributes.

We also work with our bottling partners and suppliers to help them implement the Principles.
Global Goal: By 2015, achieve and maintain going forward a 98 percent compliance level for
Company-owned and Company-managed facilities upholding the standards set in our Workplace
Rights Policy.
India Progress: On-track (end 2013 98% compliance)
Global Goal: By 2015, achieve 90 percent compliance with our Supplier Guiding Principles
among independent franchise bottling partners and suppliers. By 2020, achieve 95
percent compliance with our Supplier Guiding Principles among our suppliers.
India Progress: On-going (end 2013 82% compliance)

The foundation of our approach lies in four key documents: our Human Rights Statement,
Workplace Rights Policy4, Supplier Guiding Principles, and Global Mutual Respect Policy. With
our system operating in more than 200 markets, a key challenge is to proactively identify and
address human rights issues in our global value chain. To this end, our dedicated Global
Workplace Rights group is specifically charged with identifying human-rights risks
throughout our value chain and developing easy to-use due-diligence tools to help the business
identify human rights risks and avoid unintended missteps, and to mitigate human rights harm
when it occurs.

Development Programs for Employees

We aim to establish long term relationships with our employees. One of the needs identified by
our employees was for opportunities for professional development. With this in mind we have
developed special programs.
First Few Sips: The purpose of this training is to provide CCIPL new hires with a sense of
Vision, Purpose, Direction, Belonging, Pride and Passion. This is the induction program to train
hires on company policies and provide them function overview. It is a 5 day workshop that
includes a plant tour and a sales visit.
Pegasus Program: The Pegasus program seeks to develop all-round top talent to fuel a pipeline
of future roles within CCIPL.

recruiter in leading B-school campuses. Through the Mantra program, students get an
opportunity to work on 2-month summer internship projects with Coca- Cola India. The program
is designed for maximum learning and consists of a robust mix of project work, coaching and
assignments.
Management Trainee Program: The best performing summer interns (from the Mantra
program) are recruited as Management Trainees. The Management Trainee program is of 18
months duration and offers comprehensive, cross-functional experience in different business
verticals and the group's CSR activities.

Women in Leadership program: Globally, The Coca-Cola Company has been striving to
increase the number of women in our talent pool through recruitment and internal development
strategies.EAG Women in Leadership program was kick started in India in 2010. The program
aims at grooming women talent in the middle management level to take up higher
responsibilities.
Catalyst: Catalyst is a training program for selected managerial staff, relatively high in the
organizational hierarchy, grooming them for taking up senior management positions. Within the
organization, we recognize the need for performance and development reviews. Our approach to
these reviews is three pronged.

On the job - Learning gained through current work assignments and special
projects

Coaching and mentoring - Knowledge built through interaction with others

Formal training Courseware designed to develop knowledge and skills

In 2011 we launched 7 Integrated Career, Development & Performance Planning Workshops,

covering 147 associates who are people managers. Across the organization we were able to have
performance plans for 100% of the employees, career plans for 94%, development plans for 93%
and mid-year reviews for 100% of the employees.
