Project Narrative

We continue to be focused on improving our water-use efficiency in our manufacturing facilities, with a particular focus on high-water-risk locations. Our 2025 water operations goal is to achieve a 25 percent efficiency improvement in high-water-risk areas. In 2019 PepsiCo had 71 high-water-risk manufacturing locations as defined by our internal water risk assessment process. These locations span five continents and 16 countries and account for more than a quarter of our company-owned production. Eight of our top 15 revenue markets have manufacturing operations in high-water-risk locations. In 2019, we recorded a nine percent efficiency improvement in our water-use efficiency rate at our high-water-risk locations when compared to our 2015 baseline. This improvement builds on the work that we have been focused on for the last decade, in which we improved water-use efficiency per unit of production by 25 percent through 2015, against a baseline of 2006 in our legacy operations.
