Do you know Fortune, America's famous business magazine? The first thing the name Fortune reminds us of is "Fortune 500," the list of global top companies announced annually by the magazine.

Nestlé, ranked 5th in the Fortune 2016 Change the World list, has made considerable achievements in social responsibility activities as part of its goal of becoming a "nutrition, health and wellness" company. The company is actively linking its core business areas with social issues. It analyzes key issues at the global and regional level related to nutrition and water and rural development, as well as conducting improvement activities and creating value for both society and Nestlé.
Nestlé has reduced the content of fat, sugar and sodium in products and reinforced essential minerals and nutrients that are insufficient, especially in low- and mid-income countries. The company has released products customized based on research on taste and the required essential nutrients for each country by, for example, increasing the iron content of dry soups in Africa to prevent anemia. It developed seeds containing biologically reinforced nutrients and has conducted joint research with external partners to secure more extensive competency in the food supply chain.

The Coca-Cola Company has set out key sustainability areas associated with its business. The company says establishing partnerships with various stakeholders in local communities is a key part of its growth engine. It designs social contribution programs, with a priority on "water", "women" and "well-being" associated with its business.
The area closest to the Coca-Cola Company's business is "water". In 2006, the Coca-Cola Company's manufacturing plants in India made and sold water from river water and underground water. However, its reputation was damaged when the wells and river dried up, and eventually it had to close the plants. After that, the Coca-Cola Company introduced the "Source Water Protection Plans" program to use water without destroying any sources of water and take care of the water footprint (the amount of water consumed directly and indirectly in production of goods and services). The company used 1.43L of water to produce 1L of beverage in 2012 and has continued research and innovation to reach 1.2L by 2020.
The company runs a social contribution program combining community-oriented business and women. This "5by20" project aims to improve the economic power of 5 million female retail shop owners. This project provides women doing business based on the value chain of Coca-Cola with financial and mentoring services, while supporting them to overcome the challenges of stabilizing and growing their business.

With the recent trend for low growth affecting the global economy, corporations are required to create new insights and growth. They need to provide positive impact on various stakeholders in terms of society and environment, and conduct active social responsibility activities as a way to create new business opportunities.
