The Olympic and Paralympic Games show that magic happens when the world comes together. Team Coca-Cola includes some of the world’s greatest athletes across different sports, countries and abilities. They represent the latest generation of outstanding stories to continue the company’s nearly century-long partnership with the Olympic Games.
“The pressure to perform can be overwhelming, especially when so many people rely on you to be your best, day-in and day-out,” said global soccer star and Team Coca-Cola athlete Debinha. “This is my third time competing in the Olympic Games. This year, I’ve made it a point to let those around me know how much they motivate me to be great, on and off the field, every day.”
The Coca-Cola Company Sustainability at Paris 2024
The Coca-Cola Company’s ambition is to have an Olympic and Paralympic Games without waste. The company will be providing packaging options to help minimize waste and reduce carbon emissions.
Coca-Cola will also work to collect and recycle bottles to give them new life or so that they can be refilled. This includes drink and water fountains with refill options, returnable glass bottles and bottles made with recycled materials. Coca-Cola products will be transported more sustainably during last-mile delivery. Low-carbon vehicles powered by electric, biogas or hydrogen will be used to deliver products to competition site venues and the Athletes’ Village.
Additional activations, both online and on the ground, throughout Paris 2024 will unite consumers in celebrating the magic of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. For more information on The Coca-Cola Company’s Paris 2024 activities, visit coca-colacompany.com.
