promote equal rights for everybody, for example: in United States they say that to love America is to love everybody. That means to love and respect everyone despite their culture and religion. They respect the human rights and it is very important to their vision and their ability to operate a successful global enterprise. They expect of the company, bottling partners and suppliers to avoid causing or contributing to adverse human rights impacts. Also they are responsible for preventing adverse human rights impacts directly linked to their operations.

Shifts team works globally to embed the Guiding Principles into practice. ECONOMIC PILLAR:
The company has various
products but the main one is the soda Coca-Cola. The company has thought of making more products because doctors are recommending to reduce the consume of the soda, and if that happens there is water and juices, but also there would be more products to sustain the company. With what they earn with the other products, they distribute more sodas so the economy doesnt decrease. Coca cola makes many commercials so people will want to get one soda and with that raise their economy. Also because they had always had a rivalry with the Pepsi company.
