Human Sustainability

We will continue to build a portfolio of enjoyable and wholesome foods and beverages and invest in communities where we operate by partnering with local farmers and community groups and creating products for local tastes.

Our Product Portfolio

Our products deliver great taste, nutritional value, convenience, affordability and enjoyment. We continue to make great strides in transforming our portfolio to meet consumers' evolving needs.

Our Goals and Commitments

• Increase the amount of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and low-fat dairy in our global product portfolio.
• Reduce the average amount of sodium per serving in key global food brands, in key countries, by 25 percent by 2015 with a 2006 baseline.
• Reduce the average amount of saturated fat per serving in key global food brands, in key countries, by 15 percent by 2020 with a 2006 baseline.
• Reduce the average amount of added sugar per serving in key global beverage brands, in key countries, by 25 percent by 2020 with a 2006 baseline.

Our Role in the Marketplace

We care about the health of the consumers who enjoy our products and want to make it easier for them to make smart choices. We are doing this by providing a wide variety of healthful food and beverage products that are clearly labeled, appropriately marketed and available in a variety of portion sizes.

Our Goals and Commitments

• Display calorie count and key nutrients on our food and beverage packaging by 2012.
• Advertise to children under 12 only products that meet our global science-based nutrition standards.
• Eliminate the direct sale of full-sugar soft drinks to primary and secondary schools around the globe by 2012.
• Increase the range of foods and beverages that offer solutions for managing calories, like portion sizes.

Our Role in the Community

We actively lead and engage in private-public partnerships with key external experts and stakeholders in the global health policy and science/nutrition communities to help address global nutrition challenges. We believe that by joining forces with partners across many sectors, we can make a far greater impact than by working alone.

Our Goals and Commitments

• Invest in our business and research and development to expand our offerings of more affordable, nutritionally relevant products for underserved and lower-income communities.
• Expand PepsiCo Foundation and PepsiCo corporate contribution initiatives to promote healthier communities, including enhancing diet and physical activity programs.
• Integrate our policies and actions on human health, agriculture and the environment to make sure that they support each other.

R&D Drives Our Human Sustainability Work

To support our human sustainability work and progress on our global goals we are changing the way we innovate at PepsiCo. We are expanding our global research and development capability under the leadership of one of the world's leading endocrinologists and experts in nutrition, technology, food science and safety, epidemiology, product development, behavioral medicine and public health policy. Our team is focused on science-based nutrition standards and developing food and beverage products that positively impact health. This increased research capability and investment brings a new level of expertise and focus to our efforts to develop products that address consumer cultural tastes and food preferences with the right nutrition and functional benefits.

An important part of our research is understanding the diverse diet and nutrition needs of populations around the globe in order to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and obesity associated with poor diets. While obesity is a critical issue in many countries, hunger and malnutrition plagues many other nations. That's why we're developing products and distribution solutions directly aimed at addressing undernourishment, particularly in Nigeria, India and South Africa. We are also linking nutrition and agriculture by sharing our expert knowledge with small-scale farmers to improve the productivity and enrich their crops.
