Coca‑Cola in the community 

Coca‑Cola in the community 

We are committed to being a force for good in our communities

We believe in giving back to the communities in which we live and work.
Through our Coca‑Cola in the Community program, a joint initiative between Coca‑Cola and our bottling partner Coca‑Cola Europacific Partners Australia, we aim to create meaningful connections that help make a positive impact and build resilient communities.

Our mission

Our mission is to create possibilities for a brighter, more sustainable future for Australians, by supporting charities large and small.

In 2024, with the support of The Coca‑Cola Foundation, we invested more than $2.5 million in community initiatives across Australia.

Impact partnerships

Our Impact Partnerships are focused on building resilient communities for a climate-ready future.

These sizeable grants go beyond financial contributions and are a commitment to establishing meaningful partnerships and collaborations with organisations dedicated to driving innovative change within environmental sustainability or empowering under-recognised communities.

Support My Cause

Support My Cause is our employee-led community investment pillar where our people can support causes they are passionate about, through grants, products or time.

We want to recognise, reward and encourage employee connections within the community and through Support My Cause, we aim to help even more not-for-profit organisations across Australia.

There are three elements to Support My Cause

Community Grants

Community Grants is the Coca‑Cola employee-led grant donation program. Every year, our people are encouraged to nominate causes they are passionate about to receive a financial grant.

Product Donations

Product Donations is a monthly donation of Coca‑Cola products to not-for-profit organisations to help support fundraising events for various causes. We welcome requests from our employees and external organisations.

Volunteer Days

We are proud to offer employees two days’ annual leave to volunteer with community organisations of their choice. Employees can choose between: Team Volunteering Days, Individual Volunteering Days and Skilled Volunteering Days.

Disaster Relief Preparedness & Support

Due to extreme weather conditions in Australia, communities across the country can experience sudden natural disasters. Where we can, we want to support these communities to prepare for and recover from disasters to help reduce the suffering and enable communities to restart normal life more quickly. We provide support to local communities in need through various ways including:

  • Product Donations
  • Opportunity to access The Coca‑Cola Foundation Grants
  • Donation of funds to relief organisations
  • Customer support programs

Our contribution to Australian communities in 2024
