Company: The Coca-Cola Co.
Ranking: No. 10
Why Coca-Cola made the Top Ten, according to Fortune: “Facing concerns over national obesity rates and the safety of artificial sweeteners, the food and beverage giant is expanding its portfolio outside of soft drinks. Coca-Cola spent $1.25 billion for a 10% stake in Keurig Green Mountain Coffee and $2.15 billion for a stake in energy drink maker Monster Beverage. The company announced in January that it would eliminate between 1,600 and 1,800 jobs around the world in an effort to cut costs.”
