Johannesburg, South Africa – Coca-Cola Beverages Africa in Ethiopia has set the standard for safety after receiving three NOSCAR Awards at a ceremony held in South Africa recently.
NOSCAR Awards are the highest level of recognition for occupational health and safety, awarded by NOSA, a leading provider of occupational health and safety training, auditing, and consulting services.
CCBA’s Bahir Dar, Dire Dawa and Addis Ababa plants all received NOSCAR Awards.
“At CCBA, 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 Managing Director Melky Abebe.
“Safety is embedded across our entire 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.
“Our guiding belief is ‘Zero is Possible’. This means zero incidents – whether related to personal safety or product quality. It reflects our commitment to do business the right way and operate with integrity as we refresh Africa and create shared value,” said Abebe.
“Safety is not just a compliance requirement – it’s a key part of our social license to operate and a driver of sustainable growth and societal progress.”
