It's a promise to be a good citizen of the world, protecting the Earth's natural resources through innovation and more efficient use of land, energy, water and packaging in our operations.

Our Promise

Lifestyle Image

We rely on the Earth's natural resources to run our businesses. As a company that is expanding across many developed and emerging markets, we are committed to minimizing the impact our business has on the environment with methods that are socially responsible, scientifically based and economically sound.

PepsiCo focuses on four areas that are critical to our industry and to reducing our impact on the environment: land, energy, water and packaging.

In addition to our own efforts, we consistently rely on partnerships that help us address the urgency of the world's environmental challenges. These relationships with a range of external stakeholders such as the Carbon Trust and Ceres, among others, provide us with the perspective and knowledge we can use to implement good ideas across our business and in the communities we serve. With expert knowledge, world-class skills and breakthrough technology that empowers our environmental team across the globe, we're committed to continuous progress to protect the earth's natural resources.

Water

We are committed to respect the human right to water through world-class efficiency in our operations, preserving water resources and enabling access to safe water.

Water is required to make our products so that we maintain the highest of quality standards for consumers — and water is required to ensure a clean and safe workplace for our employees and our suppliers. In turn, efficient use of water across ouroperations is nothing short of imperative. We are committed to minimizing our global water use through greater efficiency and new technologies, and to ensuring that we source our water in ways that do not have a negative impact on local communities and ecosystems.

Climate Change

We are continuously working to reduce the carbon footprint of our operations.
We recognize our responsibility to improve our environmental programs and explore solutions to the world's environmental challenges, in particular climate change. Climate change, unpredictable weather patterns and scarce resources affect our business, our consumers and our future. Throughout our business, an important part of our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions results from the energy used in our manufacturing and related processes. We are reducing our emissions through more efficient use of non-renewable fuels and increased use of renewable energy and partnering with non-government organizations to examine how we can further reduce our footprint.

Land

We're rethinking the way we grow, source, create, package and deliver our products to minimize our impact on land. As a global food and beverage company, agriculture is perhaps the largest element of our eco-footprint, so we work hard to continually improve our agricultural processes. PepsiCo also invests in new knowledge and innovation in farming practices, which can improve the welfare of communities affected by our agricultural supply chain.
