Respecting People

We are dedicated to fostering a positive and healthy work environment for our people and the people we partner with across our entire value cycle.

• By the end of 2008, we expect all our workplaces to have completed Workplace Rights Policy assessments. Corrective actions will then be taken where necessary to ensure full compliance.
• Our Columbus, Ohio syrup plant was the first soft drink operation in the United States to achieve the Occupational Safety & Health Administration's VPP star status.
• As of December 31, 2007, 18 percent of our vice president level positions globally were held by women.
