The Coca‑Cola Company is committed to respecting human rights everywhere we do business, and we condemn abuse in any form within our supply chain. These are complex and systemic challenges, and we continue to seek to understand them while we take steps to help improve conditions for workers in sugar supply chains in India. 

Based on an ongoing review process, our actions to date have included expanding existing partnerships to support initiatives in Maharashtra, working with suppliers and partners across the value chain on continuous improvement, and engaging extensively with external stakeholders.  We also continue to participate in the Coalition for Responsible Sugarcane India. 

We remain committed to being a part of the solution.
