Nowhere was this energ more tangible than in the nearl

We continued to delier unit case olume growth across
our sparkling beerages, led b Trademark Coca-Cola.
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

deliering ahead o our expectations. And our partnership
with Caribou Coee will rml establish us in the growing

A ear ago in this report, we said we were going to uel

2007 UNIT CASE vOLUME GROWTH
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

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

Third, we will continue to generate and take adantage
o the balanced growth we hae achieed across our
portolio and the markets we sere. In the worlds
emerging economies, our business is buoed b growing
urbanization, rising middle-class consumers and thecorresponding conersion to read-to-drink beerages
