suppliers to comply with all applicable antitrust and/or competition laws in
every jurisdiction where we conduct business. Our "Prohibition on Cartel
Activity" policy communicates our minimum standards in this regard to our
suppliers.
Supplier Code of Business Conduct
The Coca-Cola Company expects all of its
employees to comply with the law and act ethically in all matters. We have the
same expectations of our suppliers. Our Code of Business Conduct sets the basic
standards for employee conduct. This Code of Business Conduct for Suppliers
establishes related requirements for our suppliers. Working together, we can
achieve great success by doing the right thing.
Supplier Guiding Principles
The Supplier Guiding Principles
("SGP") are a vital pillar of The Coca-Cola Company's workplace
responsibility programs, driven by the belief that good corporate citizenship
is essential to our long-term business success and must be reflected in our
relationships and actions in our workplaces and the workplaces of those who are
authorized to directly supply our business.
Trade Sanctions Policy

suppliers to respect and abide by the its "Trade Sanctions" policy,

laws.
Artwork, Labeling and Intellectual Property
The Coca-Cola Company places a high
value on its Intellectual Property and the Intellectual Property rights of
others. The "Artwork, Labeling and Intellectual Property" policy
acknowledges and protects the rights of its suppliers in their IP, while also
protecting The Coca-Cola Company's rights in its own IP. Additionally, the
"Artwork Labeling and Intellectual Property" policy provides a
vehicle (the Artwork Assignment Agreement) for assigning any IP that suppliers
and/or their subcontractors develop for, or on behalf of, The Coca-Cola
Company.

Parts Requirements for Sales and Marketing
Equipment
The Coca-Cola Company frequently
utilizes sales and marketing equipment to promote and dispense its beverages to
consumers throughout the world. It is important that all such sales and
marketing equipment make a positive impression on consumers by functioning
properly, which requires that parts be readily available during the entire life
of the equipment. For that reason, we have established the "Parts Requirements
for Sales and Marketing Equipment" policy. This policy ensures, among
other things, a consistent supply of parts to service and maintain our sales
and marketing equipment during its lifetime.
