corporation has no morals and no soul, that is not its function , this is why corporations should not be a legal person and the individuals in control of the corporation should be held personally accountable for the actions and damages of the corporation

Yes, its a good business move, because its a known fact that people spontaneously stop drinking coke when the company doesnt donate money after a disaster. Weve seen it a million times.

I agree

That said, the marketing campaign, which includes TV and print ads as well, does raise a question: Is Pepsi actually the choice of the Obama Administration?
My reporting at the White House suggests the answer is a resounding no. Several senior Administration officials are committed cola drinkers, and without fail they spend their days sipping from a can of Diet Coke, a product of Pepsi's chief competitor, Coca-Cola.

NEW YORK: Coca-Cola, a member of The Climate Group, is among six new corporate partners to join Obama’s initiative Clean Fleets Partnership, which aims to fuel the up-take of electric vehicles (EVS) in the US.
Coca-Cola already boasts the largest hybrid delivery fleet in North America, and this week rolled out new electric trucks in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington D.C. and New York, as part of its plans to use fuel more efficiently.

Good show by Coke. Important, morally right, and not at all uncommon. In addition to dollars, many thoughts and prayers to the people of Turkey.

 

[naturegirl]

Kudos to Coke, it may be a drop in the bucket to them but it's live saving to so many in Turkey. I guess it would be better to just let those people die instead of giving Coke a high 5, regardless of the reason they did this.

Yea, liberals lead with their heart, sure, right.

Isn't amazing how rightwingers are all nice about donations going to a Muslim country when they normally bash Muslims s walking devils in the flesh? is it because they're trying to hold up businesses as benevolent so much that it skipped their mind that Turkey was evil Muslim country? I'm surprised Coke is bashed as being supporters of terrorists and killers.
