"Bridging The Agriculture-Nutrition Divide Through Science And Product Development"
PepsiCo is the second largest Food Company in the world. Its portfolio is composed of beverages and foods-these last ones made all from agricultural sources: Potato, Corn, Wheat, Oats, and Rice.
Guided and Inspired to Build a Better Tomorrow, under CEO Indra Nooyi's call "Performance with Purpose", PepsiCo supports farmers around the world by training them to get better yields, more nutritious crops, while respecting biodiversity and elevating the standards of responsible sustainability. To further its reach and impact, Pepsico partners with Governments and NGO's such as Embrapa member of Harvest Plus on Biofortification, with the InterAmerican Development Bank to secure sourcing and enable credit for farmers. Dozens of thousands of families benefit from PepsiCo's way of living Corporate Responsibility.
Three cases were presented from Mexico, Peru and Brazil. This is the way PepsiCo constributes to a Better Tomorrow through Performance with Purpose. |
