Sustainability Reporting
Our company connects people through some of the world's greatest brands and most-loved foods and beverages. PepsiCo products are enjoyed by consumers more than one billion times a day in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. We strive to use our global scale for good and to create our products in a way that benefits our consumers, our suppliers, our communities and our planet – part of our mission to Create more Smiles with Every Sip and Every Bite.
