Coke, UPS, Home Depot among most admired

Coca-Cola, UPS and Home Depot have landed on Fortune magazine’s list of the most admired companies in the world for 2013.

The Atlanta-based giants landed at Nos. 4, 30 and 45 respectively on the list, which was released Thursday.

Of Coca-Cola, Fortune said, “Soda may be enemy number one in the public battle against obesity, but Coca-Cola is far from fizzling thanks to a growing non-fizzy beverage business and the company’s popularity overseas.”
