PepsiCo Reduces Electricity Consumption by 9%

In 2007, PepsiCo agreed on rigorous, corporation-wide global metrics to help us better track and understand our environmental footprint. Our goal is to reduce water consumption by 20 percent, reduce electricity consumption 20 percent, and reduce fuels consumption by 25 percent per unit of production by 2015 as compared to our 2006 consumption.

We continue to make positive impact and have achieved significant results. In 2007, our beverage businesses reduced water consumption by 9 percent, electricity consumption by 9 percent and fuels consumption by 7 percent. Our food businesses reduced water consumption by 6 percent, electricity consumption by 3 percent and fuels consumption by 3 percent.

We have renowned environmental scientists and technical experts who are knowledgeable of leading edge scientific research and discoveries so we can leverage our operational capabilities to help make a difference.

We have in place a global eco-efficiency strategy for resource conservation (RECON) within our operations that helps us optimize our water, energy and electricity use through improved methods and technologies. We extend this strategy to our bottlers and co-packers through workshops around the world.

We have formed a series of partnerships with key external stakeholders to provide us with additional insights, expertise and knowledge on multiple aspects of sustainability. We will continue to actively lead and engage in key private-public partnerships to spur action and solutions to address the urgency of the world's environmental issues.
