Atlanta-based Coca-Cola is moving its first board meeting of 2016 to Paris to show support for the city in the aftermath of the recent terrorist attacks.
“We can confirm that The Coca-Cola Company has moved its first Board of Directors meeting of 2016 to Paris as a show of solidarity,” the company said Wednesday in a statement. “All of us at Coca-Cola extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to those impacted by the recent tragic events.”
The meeting, which will be held in February, was scheduled to take place in Atlanta, as most are.
It will mark the first time the beverage giant has held a board meeting in the French capital since 1991.
A total of 130 people have died after a series of terrorist attacks were launched in Paris Nov. 13.
