Coca-Cola Joins BIO

I was reading today's POLITICO Influence that I receive by email when I was surprised to read: "COCA-COLA JOINS BIO: Coca-Cola Company has joined the Biotechnology Industry Organization. The trade group is expanding its multinational members. The group also added Scott Vitters, general manager of the PlantBottle Packaging Platform for Coca-Cola Company, to its Industrial and Environmental Section Governing Board."

Expanding its members?  When I looked at the webpage for BIO it indicated that it was the world's largest biotechnology organization http://www.bio.org/articles/about-bio.  Now that is what I call expansion.
