Багаторічне стабільне партнерство з ІП «Кока-Кола Беверіджиз Україна Лімітед» (ІП «ККБУ»), ТОВ «Кока-Кола-Україна Лімітед» та The Coca-Cola Foundation

• Forms of cooperation: event sponsorship, in-kind aid, employee engagement, and joint fundraising campaigns.

The Ukrainian Red Cross, together with the Coca-Cola System of Companies and The Coca-Cola Foundation, has implemented a series of large-scale humanitarian initiatives to support the population and communities during the pandemic and full-scale war.

Blood Donation and Humanitarian Support

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of blood donors in Ukraine dropped by half, according to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. In response, the Ukrainian Red Cross organized a nationwide campaign: "A small drop of donor blood equals a big chance at life." FDI "Coca-Cola Beverages Ukraine" supported the initiative and provided gifts for 15,000 donors across 35 blood centers nationwide.

Concurrently, the partners provided food and humanitarian assistance to IDPs, large families, single parents, and people with disabilities. Notably, 1 million Coca-Cola bottles with a special "For You" label were produced at the company's Ukrainian plant and distributed alongside humanitarian kits to families in Chernihiv, Cherkasy, and other regions.

Energy Resilience and Heating for Communities

Preparing communities for heating seasons has become a dedicated strategic focus:

• 105 mobile boiler houses: Over 2 years, the Ukrainian Red Cross—with financial support from Coca-Cola ($3.5 million and €5 million from Coca-Cola HBC Ukraine)—delivered 105 Ukrainian-made boiler houses with a total capacity of nearly 600 MW to communities. They run on natural gas with the ability to switch to diesel fuel.
• Project scope: 10 regions, 6 residential sectors, 24 medical, and 30 educational institutions. The equipment provided heat to approximately 600,000 sq. m of premises.

Generators and Shelter Equipment

With support from The Coca-Cola Foundation, communities in Zaporizhzhia, Lviv, Zakarpattia, and other regions received:

• 54 generators for hospitals, schools, kindergartens, boarding schools, and IDP accommodation centers;
• 5,000 bedding sets for 17 facilities housing internally displaced persons.

Since the start of the full-scale war, The Coca-Cola Company, its bottling partners, and The Coca-Cola Foundation have provided $30 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
