Why It’s on the List
Two full years after acquiring Coca-Cola Enterprises, the company continues to work diligently to integrate the two cultures and regain its prominence as a major diversity leader. Chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent is a visible diversity leader who holds executives accountable for results and who personally communicates his support to employees and external stakeholders. The company has nine business-resource groups that are available to all employees, including hourly workers. They are used for talent development, on-boarding, culturally competent diversity training, and for external community philanthropy and product outreach. The company shares its engagement results with the groups—broken down by race/ethnicity, gender, disabilities, orientation and military service. The data, and the groups’ own engagement surveys of their members, lead the groups to create specific business-plan actions. The groups partner with a variety of external organizations, including Black, Latino. LGBT and military groups. Coca-Cola is also a longtime leader in multicultural philanthropy. Those efforts include support of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Horizons National student-enrichment program, the Congressional Black and Hispanic caucuses, and many schools and universities. |
