Obesity is a major health challenge. Physical inactivity and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) consumption emerge as two of its main causes. Our hypothesis is that the main SSB companies use their phil- anthropic activity, o cially aimed to reduce obesity, to satisfy their own commercial agenda. The objective of this paper is to identify the e ect of the partnerships of the major SSB companies with several organiza- tions on both physical activity and SSB consumption among adolescents in the US. To do so we take advantage of the Coca-Cola Transparency list. We nd that the intensity of the investments in non-research part- nerships by Coca-Cola at a state level has a negative but not signi cant e ect on adolescents' physical activity, but a signi cant positive e ect on sugar-sweetened drinks' consumption (although the size is very small). This ndings suggest that the partnership schemes of the SSB industry satisfy their marketing objectives, although they go against the public health interest.
