pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) is the future of our organization – a strategic end-to-end transformation, with sustainability at the center of how we will create growth and value by operating within planetary boundaries and inspiring positive change for the planet and people. It is our roadmap for becoming the global leader in convenient foods and beverages and a leading actor in the transformation of the global food system.

 

Under our pep+ sustainability strategy, we’re driven by three ambitious pillars:

• Positive Agriculture+ where we’re working to source our crops and ingredients in ways that restore the earth and strengthen farming communities. Including spreading regenerative agriculture practices across seven million acres - an area approximately the size of our agricultural footprint.
• Positive Value Chain+ that will transform how we make products in a way that build a circular, inclusive economy while making a positive impact on the planet and people. Goals include achieving net-zero emissions across our value chain by 2040, net water positive by 2030, and a sustainable packaging agenda, targets, and vision to create a world where packaging never becomes waste.
• Positive Choices+ that is inspiring people, through brands to make choices that create more smiles for them and the planet every day. Including goals to accelerate our reduction of added sugars and sodium using science-based targets across our portfolio and offering more products with healthier oils by 2025.
