    optimism that hae become snonmous with Coca-Cola.

    Indeed, across our entire portolio and all our markets,we experienced a sstemwide renaissance and commitment

    to balanced growth.

    Nowhere was this energ more tangible than in the nearl

    550 billion beerage serings that our consumers reached

    Our three-cola strateg ocuses on driing unit case

    olume growth or Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero and

    Diet Coke or Coca-Cola light. In 2007, we rolled outCoca-Cola Zero in 37 countries, and it became one o

    our Compans billion-dollar brands.

    Sprite and Fanta achieed global unit case olume

    growth o 8 percent and 5 percent, respectiel,

    due to strong marketing execution and ocus on

    immediate-consumption growth.

    Sparkling beerages were the catalst or double-digit

    unit case olume growth in important emerging markets,

    such as Brazil, China, Eastern Europe, India, Pakistan,

    Russia, Southern Eurasia and Turke. In 2007, we also

    saw a return to solid perormance in Japan, where

    Trademark Coca-Cola grew at its highest rate in 30 ears.

    EXpANDiNG OUR STiLL pORTFOLiOHaing a strong, sustainable business also depends on

    an expanding portolio o still beerages that brings

    our oerings to new consumers and satises eoling

    needs and nutrition occasions.

    Still beerage unit case olume grew 12 percent or the

    ear, ollowing 7 percent growth in 2006. We continued

    to maintain and enhance our position in the global

    nonalcoholic read-to-drink market. We are No. 1 in

    sparkling beerages, No. 1 in juice and juice drinks, No. 1

    in read-to-drink coees and teas, No. 2 in sports drinks,

    and No. 3 in packaged water, where our ambition is to

    lead on a alue, rather than a olume, basis.

    To urther enhance our still portolio we made selectie,

    strategic acuisitions, including our purchase o glacau,

    the maker o itaminwaterthe ast-growing, premier

    Our progress in consumer marketing and commercial

    leadership has renewed interest in our expanding portolio

    among shoppers, retail customers and our bottling

    partners. Creatie marketing is part o our DNA and has

    alwas been our core competenc in eras o success.In the past ear, with The Coke Side o Lie, Happiness

    FactoryThe Movie and other award-winning marketing

    programs, we reinigorated the energ and optimism

    at the heart o our brands. We also inited our consumers

    to experience the magic and histor o the worlds most

    aluable brand at the highl successul new World o

    Coca-Cola, which opened this past ear in Atlanta.

    ENHANCiNG THE COMMUNiTiES WE SERvE

    We recognize that we cannot hae a health and growing

    business unless the communities we sere are sustainable

    themseles. Careul consideration o enironmental,

    economic and social actors plas into all our decision

    making and resulted in a number o new partnerships to

    support the health o our business and our planet. Acrossthe Coca-Cola sstem, we made signicant progress in

    reducing our water, packaging and energ imprint.

    Water is essential to our business. In 2007, we set the

    ambitious goal to return the water we use, in our beerages

    and in their production, back to nature. And our expanded

    global partnership with World Wildlie Fund (WWF) aims

    to help consere seen o the worlds most importantwatersheds, as well as to urther improe water ecienc

    in our operations and strengthen our climate protection

    initiaties. Additionall, we signed The CEO Water Mandate,

    a partnership with the United Nations Global Compact that

    commits companies to help protect and presere reshwater

    resources b making water-resource management a strategicpriorit throughout their operations and suppl chain.

    We see packaging not as waste, but as a aluable resource

    or uture use. In 2007, we established a goal o reccling or

    reusing 100 percent o our PET* packaging in the United

    States. We took an important step toward this goal through a

    major inestment in the worlds largest PET bottle-to-bottle

    reccling plant in South Carolina and the launch o a newreccling business called Coca-Cola Reccling LLC led b

    our bottling partner, Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. In India,

    we are partnering with the Indian Association o Plastic

    Manuacturers on signicant PET reccling initiaties in

    more than 100 locations across the countr. And in Brazil,

    which reccles nearl 50 percent o PET containers, the

    Compan remains a long-time supporter o CEMPRE, anonprot association dedicated to the promotion o

    reccling and waste management.

    We also are scaling up our eorts to reduce carbon

    emissions. We are committed to growing our business,

    without growing our carbon ootprint. In 2007, we launched

    Project esKO to reduce emissions in manuacturing and

    drie productiit improements. For example, at our2-million-suare-oot world headuarters in Atlanta,

    we are working to reduce energ consumption b

    than 10,000 metric tons o carbon dioxide emissions each

    the road. And we are using our oice on the world stageto call or responsible standards on greenhouse gas

    emissions through our support o the United Nations

    Global Compact Caring or Climate leadership

    Our commitment to being a responsible compan

    includes being a responsible emploer. In 2007, we

    launched our global Workplace Rights Policyand Human

    Rights Statement, guided b the principles o the

    International Labour Organization and other well-known

    international organizations. Our Workplace Rights Policy

    ormalizes our long-standing commitment to ensure that

    each o our 90,500 associates around the world is treated

    with dignit and airness.

    THE OppORTUNiTYThe opportunities associated with getting these and

    other actions right are immense. Oer the next seeral

    ears, our industrs growth is expected to outpace the

    growth o the world econom. B 2010, the industr is

    projected to eclipse $650 billion in total reenue.

    Despite the gains we are making across our business,

    we know greater opportunities still exist. We remainconstructiel discontent.

    We are condent, though, that our strategies and structures

    are coming together. Our business-planning process this

    past ear has been as robust as an we hae witnessed in

    our careers. I 2007 was the ear o winning again, then

    2008 will be the ear we execute to peak perormance.

    THE ROAD AHEAD

    To reach our peak perormance in 2008, we will ocus on

    e strategic priorities:

    First, we will continue to grow our leadership in sparkling

    beerages, the core o our business toda and tomorrow.

    We know there is tremendous opportunit to growour sparkling beerages in both deeloped and

    emerging markets.

    Second, we will drie een aster growth in our still

    uture growth around the world.

    Third, we will continue to generate and take adantage
