Quality Leadership in Action

Lifting, Shifting, and Scaling with Speed

Coca-Cola has been listening to consumers and is striving to give people more of the drinks they want–all part of the company’s disciplined growth agenda. Sometimes this means adding vitamins, minerals, and new flavors; other times it means rethinking recipes to reduce sugar where possible. And, the company is “lifting, shifting and scaling” brands, like Fuze Tea, market-to-market when opportunities present. Fuze Tea, which was already available in 49 countries, was introduced in an additional 37 countries across Europe, featuring new herb and fruit infused flavors with fewer calories. The single-day launch of Fuze Tea in Europe was executed on a scale that was unprecedented in the company’s history. With Fuze Tea, nearly all ingredients meet Coca-Cola’s sustainable sourcing requirements. All farms that supply tea extract for Fuze Tea have third-party certification to demonstrate that they meet at least one of five independent, internationally recognized standards.
