Name: Guinness

Sector: FMCG

Origin: Ireland

Contribution: Guinness Nigeria Plc has made great strides in the area of
community investment, especially through its Water of Life initiative, which
provides safe drinking water to millions of Nigerians across several rural
communities. The company has also helped in raising the standard of education
across board through various youth empowerment schemes and capacity building
initiatives that enable the less privileged students to have access to qualitative
education. Some years back, the company partnered with select tertiary institutions
in Nigeria to improve eye health care. This informed the establishment of Guinness
Eye Hospitals in three major cities – Lagos, Onitsha and Benin. The company has
continued to maintain these eye clinics as part of its commitment to promoting
high quality healthcare in the country.

Unemployment has been a socio-economic factor confronting Sub-Saharan Africa,

including Nigeria. The company, in its strategic sustainability objectives, has put
access to gainful employment in its front burner to address this issue. Through
consistent provision of direct and indirect employment, Guinness Nigeria Plc has
significantly helped in reducing the growing rate of unemployment in Nigeria.
Also, it provides an enabling environment, which directly provides employment
for over 1000 Nigerians, thereby creating the necessary job satisfaction, and raising
the standard of living of many people. In addition to direct employment, the
company provides jobs for over 10,000 people working with various vendors,
partners and stakeholders along its value chain.

More importantly, Guinness Nigeria Plc, through its backward integration agenda,
has demonstrated its dedication and commitment to promoting local content by
leading its industry in sourcing of its raw materials locally. Thus, this move has
significantly helped in transforming the businesses and livelihoods of several
smallholder farmers who grow the grains the company uses for its production. It is
noteworthy that Guinness Nigeria Plc’s direct and indirect contribution to job
creation is essentially driven by purchases in industries such as agriculture,
packaging and logistics as well as induced employment in hospitality and retail
sectors.

Another area Guinness Nigeria Plc has scored a major point is in the area of its
fiscal contribution to the government. Since inception of its business operations,
the company has continued to demonstrate an uncompromising commitment to
promoting economic development through compliance with corporate governance
that promotes economic development. In its 2016 financial year, it made payments
to the tune of N13billion in taxes, including Value Added Tax (VAT), employee tax,
corporate income tax, excise duties, among other taxes. With over 900 registered
vendors, it has also contributed hugely to the growth of several businesses, with
payments in excess of billions.

Coca-Cola, or Coke, is a carbonated soft drink produced by The Coca-Cola

Company. Originally intended as a patent medicine, it was invented in the late 19th
century by John Pemberton and was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs
Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coca-Cola to its dominance of the world soft-
drink market throughout the 20th century. The drink's name refers to two of its
original ingredients, which were kola nuts (a source of caffeine) and coca leaves.
The current formula of Coca-Cola remains a trade secret, although a variety of
reported recipes and experimental recreations have been published. The Coca-Cola
Company has on occasion introduced other cola drinks under the Coke name. The
most common of these is Diet Coke, along with others including Caffeine-Free
Coca-Cola, Diet Coke Caffeine-Free, Coca-Cola Cherry, Coca-Cola Zero, Coca-
Cola Vanilla, and special versions with lemon, lime, and coffee. Based on
Interbrand's "best global brand" study of 2015, Coca-Cola was the world's third
most valuable brand, after Apple and Google. In 2013, Coke products were sold in
over 200 countries worldwide, with consumers drinking more than 1.8 billion
company beverage servings each day.
