Coca-​Cola earns high marks for Hispanic inclusion

Rebecca Prescott11 Jan 2012

The Coca-​Cola Company received a strong rating of 85 in the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR)‘s Corporate Inclusion Index for the second straight year, the third-​highest score attained by Fortune 100 companies.

The index tracks and evaluates companies’ Hispanic inclusion practices related to employment (recruitment/​retention/​advancement/​mentoring/​networking), procurement (supplier diversity), philanthropy (corporate giving) and governance (Board and executive representation).

Three Hispanic leaders at Coca-​Cola were recognised recently:

  • Rudy Beserra, vice President, Latin affairs, received a 2011 NFL Hispanic Heritage Leadership Award. The renowned programme recognises the professional and philanthropic contributions of inspirational Latino leaders in each NFL market during Hispanic Heritage Month. Beserra was honoured at halftime of the Atlanta Falcons home game.
  • Frank Ros, vice president, Hispanic strategies, was named among HispanicBusiness magazine’s “Top 100 Influentials” who are making strides in the areas of diversity and inclusion.
  • Victor Sanchez, region customer care director, was selected as a member of the 2012 class of Leadership Georgia, a training programme for young business, civic and community leaders with the desire and potential to work together for a better Georgia.
