HOW WE OPERATE The Coca‑Cola Company markets, manufatures and sells beverage concentrates and syrups as well as finished beverages (including sparkling softdrinks; water and sports drinks; juice, dairy and plant-based drinks; and tea and coffee). In our concentrate operations, The Coca‑Cola Company typically generates net operating revenues by selling concentrates and syrups to authorized bottling partners. Our bottling partners combine the concentrates and syrups with still or sparkling water and sweeteners (depending on the product), to prepare, package, sell and distribute finished beverages. Our finished product operations consist primarily of company-owned or -controlled bottling, sales and distribution operations. We also operate retail outlets through Costa Limited, which operates nearly 4,000 coffeehouses in the United Kingdom, China and other markets across Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. The company’s portfolio also includes a coffee vending business, at home coffee solutions and a roastery.
