Kampala, Uganda – Delegates from the International Vision Zero Africa Conference visited Coca-Cola Beverages Uganda (CCBU) on Friday, 5 September, for a first-hand look at the company’s safety practices.

This visit followed Uganda’s hosting of the third International Vision Zero Africa Conference last month, led by the Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development. The conference provided a vital platform for advancing workplace safety, health, and wellbeing across the continent and beyond.

CCBU, a company in the Coca-Cola Beverages Africa group, was selected by the Ministry to host national delegates for a site visit in recognition of its “exemplary performance in Occupational Safety and Health” over the years.

“At CCBU, our long-term success depends on ensuring the safety of everyone connected to our business – from employees, visitors on site, to our distribution networks, customers, consumers and the communities we call home,” said Emmy Hashakimana, General Manager at CCBU.

“Safety is embedded across our value chain – from the arrival of raw materials to the moment our products reach consumers. We believe that a safe and healthy workplace is both a fundamental human right and a business imperative.

“Safety is not just a compliance requirement – it’s a key part of our social licence to operate and a driver of sustainable growth and societal progress,” Hashakimana added.

CCBA remains deeply committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered to thrive.
