Beyond its economic footprint, PepsiCo supports long-term resilience through its broader business, sustainability and social impact efforts, aligned with pep+ (PepsiCo Positive), the company’s end‑to‑end transformation strategy that aims to strengthen food systems, protect natural resources, and expand consumer choice, seeking to drive growth and build a stronger, more resilient future for PepsiCo and the communities where it operates:
- Regenerative agriculture & farmer livelihoods: Working with farmers, the company has expanded regenerative agriculture, restorative, or protective practices, across 4.7 million acres globally as of 2025, supporting farmer livelihoods and more resilient supply chains across America.
- Water security & watershed replenishment: PepsiCo achieved 100% water replenishment at company‑owned facilities in high water‑risk areas globally as of 2025, with nearly 29 billion liters restored to local watersheds in the U.S. and around the world. As of 2025, PepsiCo has achieved 58% water replenishment towards its 2030 global goal of 100%, when including both company-owned and franchise-owned facilities in high water-risk areas.
- Nutrition and Positive Choices: In the U.S., PepsiCo has made progress across iconic brands by delivering foods and beverages with functional ingredients such as protein, fiber, and electrolytes, while also offering options with less sugar and no artificial colors or flavors. Lay’s and Tostitos are made with no artificial colors or flavors, and the company has introduced products such as Gatorade Lower Sugar with no artificial colors or flavors, SunChips Fiber and Quaker Protein Rice Crisps.
- Investing in Communities: Through the PepsiCo Foundation, the company helps create economic opportunity and strengthen community resilience across the U.S. To commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, the PepsiCo Foundation is supporting 250 nonprofits across the country this year, providing grants to organizations working to make a difference in their communities. Additionally, with programs such as the PepsiCo Foundation Scholars Program and Field to Future with Farm Foundation, these efforts help inspire and prepare the next generation of leaders by helping to create pathways to education, workforce development and long-term economic mobility.
“PepsiCo’s impact and scale reflect how deeply our business is intertwined with the U.S. economy and daily American life,” said Steven Williams, PepsiCo Executive Vice President and Vice Chairman. “From agriculture and manufacturing to transportation and food services, our operations support livelihoods and contribute to economic strength in communities across the country, while our products continue to provide enjoyment and choice for consumers.”
