Forty-eight staff from Swire Coca-Cola helped provide beverage services and supplies at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. A total of 9.1 million bottled drinks were served through 689 service stations across 42 venues throughout the Games. The staff worked at the Olympic venues during a three-month, closed-circuit secondment. With a range of skill sets ranging from sales and marketing to finance, operations and logistics, they were in charge of making sure beverage services ran smoothly at all venues during the Games. Working in the closed-loop system meant they couldn’t see their families and friends over Chinese New Year, which coincided with the opening of the Games, but all of them enjoyed the unique experience, and said they were proud of the strong team spirit and opportunity to serve.
