THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF THE COCA-COLA SYSTEM IN THE KYRGYZ REPUBLIC 2015-2019

Dear readers!

The Coca-Cola Сompany was founded in the Kyrgyz Republic back in 1995, almost a quarter century ago, and on May 8, 1996, production began. Since the beginning, the Company has been making major contributions to all the different aspects of sustainable development in the country: economic, environmental, and social.
However, you may have questions: how to evaluate this contribution of the Company? What is the total contribution of the Company in the country’s economy considering its network of suppliers, contractors, distributors and sales outlets? What exactly has been done for the environment and what are the results? What social projects does the Company implement and how beneficial are they for the community? After all, when you buy one of the Coca-Cola beverages, you don’t think about what impact your purchase had on the environment, what work was done to get the bottle you bought in the store, and how it affected the country’s economy.
To get answers to these and many other questions, this study was conducted. We tried to comprehensively consider the impact of our Company on the development of the Kyrgyz Republic over the past five years, from 2015 to 2019. The contribution to the country’s economy includes not only the results of our direct activity, but also the contribution that is formed through our procurement and distribution. In the report, we also tried to tell in detail about our contribution to the environment, implemented social and environmental projects, and their results.
We hope this document will answer all the questions you may have and offer you a better understanding of the work of Coca-Cola System in the Kyrgyz Republic.

Enjoy your reading!
