Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Excels in Women's Empowerment Rankings

Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo and led by CEO Karin Dragan, has achieved a remarkable milestone. The company has been ranked first in the food sector of the 2025 Women's Empowerment Company Rankings presented by Nikkei Woman, in collaboration with the Nikkei Group's Nikkei Womenomics Project. This recognition marks the second consecutive year that Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan has secured the top spot in the food industry category.

Over the past three years, Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan has demonstrated consistent progress in its overall rankings, moving from 90th in 2023, to 66th in 2024, and finally reaching 61st in 2025. This upward trajectory highlights the company’s growing commitment to promoting women’s participation and leadership within the organization.

The Women’s Empowerment Company Rankings are determined based on a comprehensive survey assessing various factors affecting women's work environment in corporate settings. Now in its 23rd edition, this ranking evaluates companies on two main criteria: work satisfaction and work environments. Companies are scored based on four key indicators: management position appointment rate, women's empowerment promotion level, work-life balance, and diversity of personnel. The total scores are then transformed into a deviation value to create an overall ranking score.

The company’s mission of delivering joyful moments to everyone involves actively fostering an inclusive workplace. By encouraging the unique individuality of each employee and embracing diverse perspectives and ideas, Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan seeks to create an environment where every person can realize their full potential, leveraging diversity as a cornerstone for sustainable growth.
