The 2nd Supplier Program
Due to new business strategies in supply chain management, many procurement opportunities are managed by our major business partners or prime suppliers. Acknowledging that we have limited opportunities available for small businesses, we have developed the 2nd Tier Supplier Program, which is a partnership between Coca‑Cola and our prime suppliers. We request that prime suppliers subcontract a portion of their Coca‑Cola contracts with diverse suppliers.

The Rise Up Crowdfunding funding portal offers a new solution for business owners to gain access to a process for raising capital from the crowd, which could be a community of their customers, fans, followers, and the general public.
