To mark its 135th anniversary, Coca-Cola announced to pledge a sum of PKR 5 billion for new global initiatives, whereby top priority was marked on Covid-19 – Stop the spread initiative, for which PKR 3 billion will be spent on partnering with credible local not-for-profit entities to support those who have been impacted the most during this pandemic.
The Company’s Covid-19 relief efforts have been ongoing in Pakistan – from the timely distribution of life-saving ventilators to assisting the Government in disease-prevention by distributing protective equipment to front line health workers.
Given the deadly rise of the third wave The Coca-Cola Foundation is working on broadening the scope of on-ground relief efforts.
