The Coca-Cola Company and The Adelante Movement
empower an emerging market of women entrepreneurs within the U.S.
as part of the Company’s global 5by20 initiative
The Coca-Cola Company celebrates International
Women’s Day, March 8, through its 5by20 initiative to advance
women’s economic empowerment around the globe. In honor of
International Women’s Day here in the United States, the Company is
highlighting its progress through a partnership with The Adelante
Movement, presented by Coca-Cola (Adelante).
Adelante (Move Forward!), founded by Nely Galán, is a grassroots
movement designed to unite and empower Latinas in the U.S.
economically through inspiration, motivation, training and
resources on entrepreneurship. The organization is part of the
Company’s 5by20 initiative that aims to empower 5 million women
entrepreneurs across the Company’s value chain by 2020.
“Adelante is a valuable, pioneer partner not only on The
Coca-Cola Company’s path to empowering 5 million women across the
globe, but also here at home through its efforts to advance the
Latina business community, who are the emerging market in the
U.S.,” said Alba Adamo, Group Director of Hispanic Marketing, The
Coca-Cola Company. “Adelante provides skills training to help
Latinas make a positive impact on their local economies and their
families’ future.”
The work of Adelante and its members are particularly important
as both the Latina population and Latina-owned businesses continue
to grow.
- The U.S. Latina population is expected
to increase from 16.4 percent today to 25.7 percent in 2050.1
- There has been a nearly 200-percent
increase in Latina-owned businesses over the past decade.2
- As of 2013, 1 in 10 women-owned
businesses in the U.S. are owned by Latinas, with receipts totaling
$65.7 billion.3
Adelante trained thousands of women in 2014 alone in business,
finance and marketing to support their entrepreneurial dreams, and
expects to train more than 25,000 women over the next three years.
The organization offers an online hub of business tools, in-person
and online trainings, events in multiple cities each year and
connections to Hispanic organizations across the country.
“Adelante is proud to be part of the 5by20 initiative and
harness the Coca-Cola vision of establishing economically
independent women among the Latina community in the U.S.,” said
Galán. “Our work helps empower Latinas to take on leadership roles
and ensures they are the best they can be, inspiring the next
generation of Latina entrepreneurs and CEOs.”
