Business Pain Points
Positive Agriculture: PepsiCo's goal is to achieve 100% sustainable sourcing of key crops and raw materials by 2030. This includes not only directly sourced crops like potatoes and oats but also third-party key crops such as plant oils and grains.
Positive Value Chain: PepsiCo announced its goal to achieve net-zero emissions across the entire value chain by 2040, a decade ahead of the timeline set by the Paris Agreement. By 2030, PepsiCo plans to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, based on a 2015 baseline, by 75% for Scope 1 and 2 and 40% for Scope 3, doubling the previous targets.
Positive Products: PepsiCo aims to promote the Pep+ Plan through its brands and actions, including initiatives like promoting circularity in product packaging. In April 2022, PepsiCo launched its first bottle-label-free product in China, delivering a low-carbon message of "No Label, Shared Environmental Protection" for the brand.
