Ability Quotes
We have had a deep and mutually beneficial relationship with our bottlers for more than 100 years. One of the historic strengths of our system has been its ability to change and adapt as our consumers, customers and competitors have changed. Change today is coming more rapidly than ever, and if we aren't willing to consider change, we risk missing out on growth.

Believe Quotes

We are currently reviewing a complex and unrealistic proposal from the Coca-Cola Bottlers Association and have committed to responding to it by Feb. 22. These lawsuits will only shut down for everyone what we believe had been a productive business dialogue.
