Water stewardship has long been one of PepsiCo’s top priorities, and it's an important part of building a Positive Value Chain. As one of the first companies of our size to acknowledge water as a human right, we have a vision to become net water positive. We have adopted an approach to watershed management that includes improving water-use efficiency across our value chain: on farms and in manufacturing facilities; replenishing water in the local watersheds that are most at risk and where we operate; and increasing safe water access for communities that face scarcity. As a food and beverage company, PepsiCo is acutely aware of the critical role water plays in the food system, and it is our vision that wherever in the world PepsiCo operates, water resources will be in a better state because of our presence. We work to understand the water challenges at a local level and support collaborative solutions that address the specific needs of the watershed.
