Coca-Cola’s latest scandals spark calls to end license in central Colombia.
Coca-Cola may lose its license to extract water for its plant in central Colombia amid piling accusations of irregularities.
House Representative Maria del Mar Pizarro embarked on a campaign to bar the environmental authority of the central Cundinamarca province from renewing the multinational’s license to pump water from springs in the town of La Calera.
The multinational corporation has been pumping water without a license since December 2024, according to Pizarro.
On top of the allegedly illegal use of water, the lawmakers said that a recent report from the regional environmental authority accused Coca-Cola of having sealed off seven springs, which would be in violation of environmental regulations.
