Human Sustainability
To the people of the world...
It’s a promise to encourage people to live healthier by offering a portfolio of both enjoyable and wholesome foods and beverages.
We are the world’s second-largest food and beverage business. Our brands — which include Quaker Oats, Tropicana, Gatorade, Frito-Lay and Pepsi — are household names that stand for superior quality and great taste throughout the world. As a global company, we also have strong regional brands such as Walkers in the U.K., Gamesa and Sabritas in Mexico, Amacoco in Brazil, Lebedyansky in Russia, Alvalle in Spain and Smith’s in Australia.
As an industry leader, we have a responsibility to help develop solutions to key global challenges, such as obesity. We will do this by transforming our product portfolio, establishing global initiatives, such as calorie labeling to improve nutrition education, supporting programs that promote physical activity and using our influence to engage in meaningful private-public partnerships to drive positive change.
Our Goals & Commitments
In 2009, we announced 11 ambitious global goals and commitments to guide our work to help improve the well-being of people in both developed and developing countries. We are focusing our work on the products we make and on key policies and partnerships to help us address global nutrition challenges.
