Encouraging a healthy lifestyleMission to make India heart healthy

Quaker Oats, in association with The Times of India and Apollo Hospitals, started the ‘Mission to Make India Heart

Healthy’ by raising people’s awareness of their risk of heart disease.

n The Mission encourages people to undergo an online heart health check-up on www.goodmorningheart.

com. The site had seen more than 3 lakh people participate till the end of March 2011.

n As part of the mission, Quaker Oats partnered with Chennai Police and Kochi Police. The police force is at

a high risk of heart disease as its personnel lead a very stressful lifestyle, with irregular work timings and

diet schedules. The engagement with Quaker Oats included an online health check-up, personalized diet

counseling by nutritionists, and a Quaker Oats Heart Healthy breakfast for all police personnel.

Healthy kids

Our initiative of promoting good nutrition and active lifestyles through school based nutrition edutainment

program ‘Get Active’ has reached 1 million children in 12 metros and 477 schools till December 2010. Get

Active is a partnership program with NGOs like Swashrit and Hriday and has three teaching modules to help

engage students on learning and modifying behavior to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Raising HIV/AIDS awareness

PepsiCo recognizes HIV/AIDS as a challenging global health issue that poses a significant threat to the sustainability

of its business operations worldwide. It is, therefore, committed to the cause of creating education and awareness

on HIV/AIDS among its employees, their families, partners, and the communities where they are present.

PepsiCo India is committed to reducing iron deficiency in India, and has chosen to concentrate its efforts in a

pilot program within two towns in the state of Andhra in India, where seven out of ten adolescent girls suffer

from iron deficiency.

n PepsiCo India has, in March 2011, embarked on an intensive school and community-led educational

program focusing on the girl child. The education program is led by a film that educates girls and their

mothers on the symptoms, causes and explanation of iron deficiency, while giving them simple behavior

change and nutrition tips that would reduce iron deficiency over time. The film strikes a strong emotional

chord with young women because it is based on the insight that ‘dreams of young girls don’t get tired, but

the girls do, because they have iron deficiency’.

n To complement the educational program, an extruded snack and a sweet biscuit that are richly fortified by

EDTA iron delivering 25 percent of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron and 50 percent RDA

of Vitamin B1, B12 and Folate each. Both are affordably priced at only Rs 2, the products are made with

wholesome local ingredients like soya, peanuts and jaggery.

n This program is piloting a unique business model because it aims to mainstream nutrition-rich products to

make enough profit to fund the extensive education program. Since launch, the program has addressed

over 35,000 girls and women in 73 communities, 91 villages and 58 schools.

Positive Water Balance

Water InitiativesPepsiCo respects the right of all human beings to water and is committed to minimize the impact of its business

on the environment.

Positive water balanceIn 2009, the company achieved a significant milestone: Positive Water Balance. Through various initiatives of

recharging and replenishing water, it was able to give back to the community more water than it consumed

in its manufacturing processes. In 2010, PepsiCo has further increased the amount of water saved and is now

water positive by 4.3 billion liter, a fact verified by Deloitte Touche’ Tohmatsu India Pvt Ltd.

Recharging Water Through Community InitiativesAs sustainability is an important outcome, community ownership is at the heart of PepsiCo’s CSR approach.

It works with the local Panchayat or municipality and engages with the community in planning as well as

executing the project.

n PepsiCo uses integrated water management techniques, inclusive approach and introduction of

sustainable agricultural practices such as drip-irrigation, education programs on water conservation and

better agronomic practices.

n The initiatives result in an enhanced ground water table, improved water access and improved farm

yields and incomes.

n PepsiCo has also initiated several projects to provide water to villagers who earlier had to walk long

distances to collect water.

n In 2010, water projects created the potential to recharge over 2 billion liters of water contributing towards

positive water balance and benefitting nearly 41,000 community members. Community participation has

played a key role in the success of this initiative.

In-Plant Water Recharge and HarvestingPepsiCo employs rainwater harvesting initiatives within its manufacturing locations, such as roof-water

harvesting and recharge ponds. At some plant locations, it harvests and collects rainwater in excavated ponds

while at other plants it uses roof-water harvesting to recharge water.

Water Conservation Through Irrigation EfficiencyPepsiCo has globally made a promise to its stakeholders of protecting natural resources, particularly water, by

driving world-class efficiencies in water usage in its operations, preserving water resources and enabling ac-

cess to safe water.

Direct seeding—PepsiCo India is leading a pioneering initiative to replace transplanting of paddy with direct

seeding technology, which has helped reduce water consumption in paddy cultivation by 30 percent and has

also cut down green house gas emissions by 75 percent. The results have been vetted by leading research

institutes like the Indian Agriculture Research Institute (IARI) and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI).

In 2010, PepsiCo India brought 10,000 acre of land under direct seeding and saved 7836 mml of water, in six

states, namely Punjab, Rajasthan, UP, Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Drip irrigation—PepsiCo is helping farmers in water-scarce areas in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Hary-

ana and promoting drip irrigation in over 1100 acres. It is estimated that every acre saves approximately 700

kiloliter of water. In 2010, drip irrigation saved 144 mml of water. PepsiCo’s initiatives include:

n Helping raise money for the assets through banks

n Incentivizing the farmers for the adoption of drip irrigation through a buy-back mechanism

n Providing help to design agricultural equipment to make drip irrigation commercially viable for farmers.

Reducing debit

Decreasing In-plant Consumption of WaterPepsiCo India plants have been able to reduce water use in the manufacturing process through:

n Innovative reuse and recycling initiatives in the manufacturing process

n Installation of water recovery equipment to reduce water consumption

n Reduction in plant water consumption

PepsiCo India has adopted processes to treat processed water before returning it to non-potable water uses.

For cooling towers, watering gardens and flushes, water is being reused and plants are moving towards

becoming a zero-discharge facility.

In order to reduce water stress, PepsiCo’s rain or roof water harvesting methods have become standard

practice at all its plants. Jainpur, Bazpur, Bharuch, Palakkad, Panipat, Neelamangala, Mamandur and Mahul

plants harvest and collect rain water in excavated lakes and ponds.

Farmers’ FriendOver the last 20 years, PepsiCo India has been

combining deep insights into Indian farming

with its global technological expertise to transform

the lives of farmers. When PepsiCo started its India

operations in 1989, it was with a commitment to

invest in the horticulture-based food processing

industry in Punjab. PepsiCo worked closely with

farmers and the yields of tomatoes increased more

than 300 percent while the processing season in the

plant went up from 28 to 60 days. The improved

yields helped increase farmer incomes despite

lower prices to the consumers.

PepsiCo India established a model of partnership with farmers and now works with over 22,000 happy

farmers across nine states to improve the yields in various crops, including potato and paddy. It works

closely with farmers through the crop lifecycle by providing new varieties, technologies and sustainable

farming practices. PepsiCo plans to increase its farmer connect to over 30,000 farmers by 2013. In PepsiCo,

farmers truly have a friend and development partner.

Collaborative farming – potatoPepsiCo’s 360-degree farmer connect program has transformed the lives of small and marginal farmers across

India

PepsiCo India was the first corporate to introduce collaborative farming of process-grade potatoes in India in

2004-05 and currently works with over 12,000 farmers—a majority of them being small and marginal farmers,

spread across Gujarat, UP, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Bihar, West Bengal and Punjab. PepsiCo has helped improve

their incomes through a 360-degree farmer connect program that includes:

n Assured buy-back of produce at pre-agreed prices, which insulates farmers from open market price

fluctuations.

n Supply of high quality planting material, including its proprietary advanced seed varieties.

n Offering advanced plant protection program and technical know-how developed in collaboration with

leading agri-input companies like DuPont, Bayer and BASF.

n Soft loans through a national level tie-up with State Bank of India.

n Facilitation of crop/weather risk insurance in partnership with leading insurance companies to protect farm

incomes.

The association with PepsiCo India has not only raised the incomes of small and marginal farmers, but also

their social standing.

Waste to WealthEffective and environment-friendly disposal of waste

A winning partnershipPepsiCo’s Waste to Wealth initiative is a unique and innovative, employment and income-generating partner-

ship that provides clean and healthier environment and improved quality of life for 450,000 people across

Pammal, Sangareddy, Panipat, Chennai, Tenkasi, Nagapatinam and Cuddalore.

n The initiative is focused at creating replicable community models through a successful four-way partner-

ship between PepsiCo, the NGO Exnora, the municipality and the community to address a major health

concern—community waste.

n Organic waste is converted into compost using vermi-culture and inorganic waste is sorted into categories

for recycling. Recyclable waste, such as PET and plastics, waste paper and tetra packs, is recycled.

n The community awareness program includes door-to-door campaigns and street plays to motivate people

to segregate organic and inorganic garbage at source to enable recycling.

n Every aspect of the program is built around maximum community and government participation to help it

evolve into a self-sustaining model.

Climate change affects everybody. PepsiCo under-

stands its impact and is taking steps to mitigate the

same. On the one hand it is adopting renewable en-

ergy sources to meet the energy requirements in

all its operations. And on the other hand, it is using

means to reduce its carbon footprint by decreasing

the very consumption of energy as well as employ-

ing ways to reduce green house gas emissions.

Lowering the carbon footprintn There has been an 80 percent reduction of solid

waste disposal. Organic compost is produced

from biodegradable waste and packaging waste

is recycled.

n Initiatives to reduce packaging have resulted in

decreased consumption of 2,154 tons of virgin

plastic and 2,000 tons of glass.

n The bio-methane plant in Pune has managed to

reduce green house gas emissions by 700 metric

tons per year.

n The rice husk boiler in Kolkata meets 75 percent

of the plant’s energy needs, has helped reduce

green house gas emission by 4500 metric tons

per year and has resulted in a potential saving of

$0.8 million per year.

Using renewable energy sourcesOf the total energy used in all PepsiCo plants, 30 per-

cent comes from renewable sources. The initiatives

in these plants include use of wind energy, conver-

sion from fossil fuel to bio-fuel and the use of solar

energy.

Reducing Environmental Impact

30 percent energy from renewable sources

12

n Biomass boilers are being used in all company-owned bottling operations (COBO) plants. In the beverage

plants, 38 percent of all energy used is through renewable sources.

n A wind turbine has been commissioned in Tamil Nadu. Of the 11.3 million units of total consumption, 3.8

million units will come from the wind turbine. The turbine also has the potential to offset 70,000 tons of

carbon emissions over its entire 20-year life cycle.

n A new wind turbine already functional in Maharashtra generated 2.58 MM units in 2010 versus 8.6 MM

units used.

n Currently all PepsiCo plant warehouses use solar lighting and five PepsiCo plants use tubular daylight

devices that capture solar light for use in enclosed spaces. Roof sheets in all plants are being improved to

enhance solar lighting in warehouses, utilities and water treatment areas. Solar water heating is the next

step in the journey.

Use of bio-fuels in PepsiCo plants helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels

PepsiCo Community Check–Dam Project Paithan, Aurangabad

The initiativePepsiCo conducted a water resource assessment study near its Aurangabad plant. In partnership with a

civil society organization, Alternative Development initiatives (ADI), PepsiCo selected the most vulnerable

village, Wahegaon, as well as Mudhalwadi, Rahatgaon and Esarwadi, as the core areas to implement its

interventions to replenish ground water. PepsiCo India then constructed 13 check-dams and recharged over

100 wells.

ImpactThe project created the potential to recharge more than 1 billion liters of water. It benefits nearly 12,000

community members through improved access to water, additional crops, increase in yield of rain-fed

crops and the opportunity fpr a second cultivation cycle during the Rabi season due to improved availability

of water. Water levels have visibly risen after years; old dry wells have water again and farmer incomes

have improved by Rs. 20,000/acre. PepsiCo has also provided safe drinking water to Nagnath Vidyalaya,

Wahegaon, by laying an underground pipeline, an overhead tank and taps.

Replenishing Water Through Community Water Harvesting Project, Neelamangala

The initiativeIn Neelamangala, Bangalore Rural, PepsiCo has partnered with ADI to protect and replenish water resources

through the creation of water harvesting structures by introducing artificial recharge systems within water

bodies. The water project at Neelamangala focuses on the creation of water harvesting structures in

three villages—Thorecamphalli, Hosur and Tonchinkuppe, and also the installation of a roof-top rainwater

harvesting structure in the T. Begur village. The goal of the project is to improve water resources in the

community, recharge wells and increase the production of rainfed crops.

ImpactThe project has created the potential to recharge 908 million liters of water per year. This benefits 4000

people through improved water resources in the community, recharging wells and also improved water

availability for rainfed crops.

PepsiCo India is an organization that offers a wide array of experiences to anyone who is ready to take up the

challenge. However, it is also a place that helps choose these experiences in a meaningful way so as to make

the most out of the time spent on each assignment. These experiences, when supported by a powerful work-

life balance policy, make the overall journey both consequential as well as pleasurable.

Being the largest food and beverages organization in the country and the third largest FMCG, PepsiCo India

offers a multitude of experiences across its various businesses, each with a distinct business model, making

it an ideal training ground for industry leaders.

PepsiCo’s promise of Talent Sustainability rests solidly on its three pillars:

Career building Talent Sustainability in PepsiCo is founded on the belief that cherishing the company’s extraordinary people

is crucial to building an engaged and empowered workforce. This is aptly reflected in its employer brand

POSSIBILITIES, which talks about possibilities to grow, learn, cherish, develop, empower and to get empowered.

The employer brand aims to capture and convey the excitement of being part of a dynamic, results-oriented

company, with powerful brands and top talent. There is a continuous endeavor to match great talent with

exciting roles to create significant career opportunities for the employees. This approach also helps build the

business so that PepsiCo and its employees can grow together.

Possibilities also capture PepsiCo’s career building agenda effectively:

n Internal Job Posting: Each PepsiCo employee has the tool to apply for any open position within PepsiCo

Worldwide, ensuring maximum transparency.

5

n Career Planning Tools: PepsiCo’s career planning processes like the Career Development Action Plan

(CDAP) help employees define their career development objectives and identify actions needed to achieve

those objectives. The CDAP focuses on both their personal and professional growth and development.

n Future Leaders Program: PepsiCo’s Management Trainee Program sees that youngsters from premier

colleges go through a rigorous year of training to graduate as leading managers within the organization,

across various functions.

n Building Outstanding Leaders for Tomorrow (BOLT): BOLT, as we call it, is an

integral part of the Talent Sustainability agenda. This framework of capability

building integrates the organizational and individual needs, and provides

employees with an appropriate intervention at every critical career transition. The framework includes

WorkSmart, ManageSmart and LeadSmart series. Programs under work smart such as Time, Meeting

and Personal Effectiveness are being cascaded to all employees to create the headroom for tomorrow.

The leadership pipeline is built through structured leadership academies that include experiential

learning, live projects and transformational coaching interventions.

n ICARE: In our endeavor to build cherishing and inclusive workplace, PepsiCo

India embarked upon this cultural transformation journey to help business

achieve, bigger, better and faster results by inspiring people. ICARE stands

for Inclusion, Coaching, Appreciation, Respect and Empathy. ICARE, is a

philosophy. It is more than the sum of its parts. It’s all about the small day-

to-day actions that make a difference. It is about creating that personal touch with each of the team

members, which would eventually drive the business results.

6

Values-based inclusive culture PepsiCo believes in respecting and encouraging diversity, and making it a point to encourage the intake of

people with diverse backgrounds—not only at the headquarter office, but also at its plants and territories.

PepsiCo firmly believes that encouraging diversity means encouraging policies and systems that respect

their special needs. Some of these initiatives include:

n Women’s Business Council: PepsiCo’s WBC is a

body led by its able women leaders. It aims to ensure

that PepsiCo continues to remain a diversity-friendly

workplace. Through their initiatives on safety and

fortitude, the WBC provides a platform for women

employees to voice their opinions and concerns.

n Flexible Working: PepsiCo’s forward thinking

Flexible Working Scheme embraces the different

needs and situations of all employees by enabling them to choose the hours they work, and at the same

time providing options like telecommuting. The company also gives special consideration to women

coming back from maternity leave, with the opportunity to phase in their working hours.

n Sabbatical Policy: PepsiCo has an active Sabbatical Policy that allows employees to take up to a year of

sabbatical from their duties at work.

n Inclusion: Approximately 10 percent of PepsiCo’s associate strength at plants is comprised of specially-

abled people. They are provided training on the job on general discipline and safety requirements. There

is also a sensitization of the existing employees on inclusive behavior.

Engaged employees supporting local communities n HIV/AIDS Awareness: From 2005 till December 2010, PepsiCo India has positively impacted more than a

million people in the awareness sessions, thus eliminating stigma, saving lives and helping mainstream

HIV-positive people in the process. The year 2010 saw a step change in the level of engagement and

commitment in raising HIV/AIDS awareness in the community using religious festivals and other big

community forums and events.

n Community Initiatives around the Plants: PepsiCo continues to tie up with local NGOs in an endeavor

to provide employment and vocational training to local populace around its plants.

n PepsiCo India – Akshay Patra Partnership: PepsiCo India has partnered with Akshaya Patra, an NGO

that supports the ‘Mid-day meal’ program launched by Government of India feeding over 1.2 million

underprivileged students everyday of the school year, in 17 locations, across 7 states in India. For

children belonging to the weaker economic sections of society, a full meal, even once a day, is a strong

incentive to stay in school. This program enables hunger free education and it has lead to a significant

rise in enrollment and attendance. So this partnership has a simple but powerful mission - to change the

trajectory of countless lives in our community.

In the first stage, PepsiCo India is funding equipment and vehicles to set up a kitchen, near Kapashera,

Delhi which has the capacity to feed 75,000 children through the mid-day meal program. Through this

program PepsiCo India employees can participate in this cause by contributing as little as Rs 2900 to

keep 5 children in a school in a year. PepsiCo foundation will match the employee contribution and

double the impact.
