"Our Human Rights Journey Since 2005"
Starting in 2005, [Coca-Cola] worked to support the mandate of Professor John Ruggie, the former UN Special Representative for Business and Human Rights, in development of a framework for respecting human rights in a business context...In 2007, The Coca-Cola Company joined the Business Leaders Initiative on Human Rights..., a network of 11 multinational companies...In 2010 our Human Rights Conference was dedicated to the Protect, Respect, Remedy framework and featured John Ruggie as a speaker...In 2012, we piloted a program called "Pass it Back" and began to integrate respect for human rights and protection of workplace rights across our supply chain. The aim of the program is to share our knowledge and best practices...with key suppliers and then work with them to "pass it back"...In 2013, we completed development of several human rights-related due diligence checklists for use across our Company.
