Coke to use distribution network to send out humanitarian products

Coca-Cola have a massive distribution network - you can get their delicious mixture of black and water practically anywhere on earth, and this is why campaigners have been telling Coke they should use their powers for good as well as evil. Excellently, Coke have finally taken note of this campaign and have said that before the end of the year, they'll be using their network in Tanzania to distribute mosquito nets, Vitamin A tablets, and stuff like that.

The only down side is that it makes it more difficult for us to slag off Coke for ethically dubious things like allegedly conspiring to murder trade unionists and causing water problems in Indian villages, now that they're doing an undoubtedly good thing too.

    • It's about time Coke started harnessing its guncore distribution network to deliver humanitarian material. Let's keep educating the beast. These changes are never too late and forever welcome.

    • How much will they charge? For all we know they may profit out of this financially as well boost their image. Is that right? Lets hope its full blooded philanthropy.

    • This is a brilliant step & Simon Berry's who runs the campaign has been working really hard on them. Good to see this work pay off.
