Out of principle, which company should I feel better about generating revenue for: Coke or Pepsi?
I love both Coke and Pepsi products but wonder which is a better company? Which should I feel better about buying? I may even want to work for one of these companies one day! #business #coca-cola #pepsi

I used to be a Pepsi guy but over the years, seeing how much Coke does in the community and for the environment, my loyalties have shifted to Coke. To be fair, Pepsi also has a great CSR program, but I am blown away by Coke.
Great response Don! :)

Hi Ryan,
In my opinion, not only does Coke taste better BUT below is some information on what Coca-Cola does to give back to the world:
Priority Areas
Women: economic empowerment and entrepreneurship
Water: access to clean water, water conservation and recycling
Well-Being: education, youth development and other community and civic initiatives
In addition, the Foundation supports many local community programs such as arts and culture, community and economic development programs in the United States, as well as HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness programs in Africa and Latin America.
Our community commitment is shared across The Coca-Cola system. When natural disasters strike, The Coca-Cola Foundation and the entire Coca-Cola system respond to offer emergency relief. Through the Coca-Cola Matching Gifts Program, eligible employees make personal contributions to qualified organizations and The Coca-Cola Foundation matches those contributions on a 2-for-1 basis.

I say do some research on both companies and see which best aligns with what is important to you...and which tastes better of course....
Best of luck! Don't forget water!
