Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA)

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa! 🇿🇦 Today, we honour our nation's rich cultural diversity and unique history, celebrating unity and national pride. Coca-Cola is proud to be part of this journey. This year, we renewed our partnership with SA Rugby, with the Coca-Cola logo proudly displayed on the Springboks’ iconic green and gold jerseys. To commemorate this, we launched the exclusive Powerade® Springboks Edition and the limited-edition Fan Can – marked with signatures of 20 legendary players, blending Coca-Cola red with Springbok green.

At CCBSA, we invest in our people to foster an inclusive and thriving workplace that accelerates our growth—and Our recent Finance & Procurement CPD was a perfect example. On 13 and 14 August, teams gathered under the theme “The Good Things About Finance” for two days of learning, collaboration, and inspiration. From strategy and customer centricity to procurement trends, ethics, and AI, every session highlighted how finance creates value and drives growth. A special thank you to our Finance & Procurement Teams for offering CCBSA yet another opportunity to invest in what matters most: our people, our customers, and our culture. Together, we continue to celebrate the good things about Finance—and the even greater things about our people. #TheGoodThingsAboutFinance #CCBSAFinance #WeInvestInOurPeople #CustomerCentricity #DrivingGrowth
