As a leading food and beverage company that's both global and local, PepsiCo has considerable influence to address world issues, such as affordable health, good nutrition, water availability, climate change, sustainable agriculture and sustainable packaging, within our businesses and communities.
As our shareholders and stakeholders increasingly seek information on a wider range of topics, we strive to adhere to the highest standards of transparency and accountability. As such, we articulate our challenges, risks and opportunities to show the effort required to deliver on our promises. Being a member of the Ceres network, we strongly believe in the value of engaging in a dialogue with our stakeholders and soliciting feedback for continued progress.
This report covers our strategy of maximizing shareholder value (Performance), providing customers with a variety of product choices and information to help them to live balanced and healthier lives (Human), implementing efficient technologies and processes to minimize our use of natural resources (Environmental), and helping our associates and the communities where we do business succeed (Talent).
Performance with Purpose is woven into everything we do at PepsiCo. The four case studies of PepsiCo brands in this report—Lay's potato chips, Pepsi-Cola, Quaker Oats and Tropicana juice—illustrate how our sustainability initiatives are realized in every part of our global business, and demonstrate how we creatively and collaboratively make progress toward our sustainability ambitions.
This year, our online report has incorporated the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) protocol, specifically the Food Processing Sector Supplement. To view our GRI self-reported Application Level B report, please go to the GRI Index.
