Organizational Values
PepsiCo’s Commitment:
PepsiCo’s values reflect its aspirations - the kind of company we want Pepsico to
be. Pepsico express its values in the form of a commitment.
PepsiCo commitment is:
Sustained Growth is fundamental to motivating and measuring its success.
PepsiCo’s quest for sustained growth stimulates innovation, places a value on
results, and helps us understand whether today's actions will contribute to
PepsiCo’s future. It is about growth of people and company performance. It
prioritizes making a difference and getting things done.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Empowered People means we have the freedom to act and think in ways that we
feel will get the job done, while being consistent with the processes that ensure
proper governance and being mindful of the rest of the company's needs.
Responsibility and Trust form the foundation for healthy growth. It's about
earning the confidence that other people place in us as individuals and as a
company. Our responsibility means we take personal and corporate ownership for
all we do, to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. We build trust
between ourselves and others by walking the talk and being committed to
succeeding together.
Guiding Principles:
This is how PEPSICO’s carry out it/s commitment. PSPSICO must always strive to:
Care for customers, consumers and the world we live in. We are driven by an
intense, competitive spirit in the marketplace, but we direct this spirit toward
solutions that achieve a win for each of our constituents as well as a win for the
corporation. Our success depends on a thorough understanding of our customers,
consumers and communities. Caring means going the extra mile. Essentially, this
is a spirit of growing rather than taking.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Sell only products we can be proud of. The test of our standards is that we must
be able to personally endorse our products without reservation and consume
them ourselves. This principle extends to every part of the business, from the
purchasing of ingredients to the point where our products reach the consumer's
hands.
Speak with truth and candor. We speak up, telling the whole picture, not just
what is convenient to achieving individual goals. In addition to being clear, honest
and accurate, we take responsibility to ensure our communications are
understood.
Balance short term and long term. We make decisions that hold both short-term
and long-term risks and benefits in balance over time. Without this balance, we
cannot achieve the goal of sustainable growth.
Win with diversity and inclusion. We leverage a work environment that
embraces people with diverse backgrounds, traits and different ways of thinking.
This leads to innovation, the ability to identify new market opportunities, all of
which helps develop new products and drives our ability to sustain our
commitments to growth through empowered people.
Respect others and succeed together. This company is built on individual
excellence and personal accountability, but no one can achieve our goals by
acting alone. We need great people who also have the capability of working
together, whether in structured teams or informal collaboration. Mutual success
is absolutely dependent on treating everyone who touches the business with
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
respect, inside and outside the company. A spirit of fun, our respect for others
and the value we put on teamwork make us a company people enjoy being part
of, and this enables us to deliver world-class performance.
Customers
PepsiCo as a company is committed to marketing their products to all groups,
treating all customers with respect, sensitivity and fairness, while providing some
of the greatest products on earth. Early in its history -- as far back as the 1940s --
Pepsi-Cola recognized the importance of diversity. Pepsi pioneered targeted
marketing and national lifestyle advertising featuring minorities. They developed
education and sports programs spotlighting minorities. The company also
partnered with many groups to create programs that contribute to minority
communities. Over the years, its success has been recognized with numerous
awards. Most importantly, their products are purchased and enjoyed by all
groups of consumers.
Suppliers
PepsiCo is committed to welcome business partners who represent all people and
purchasing quality products and services from a diverse supplier base. It is a
leader in seeking out and working with minority and women suppliers. In 2004,
the company spent $831 million with minority and women vendors.
Employees and Careers
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
PepsiCo is committed to hiring and retaining the best talent to fill each and every
job in the corporation. And it is equally committed to fostering an atmosphere of
caring, open communication and candor among its employees, where every one is
treated with respect.
PepsiCo has been nationally recognized as one of the top places for women and
minorities to work. We were one of the first companies to begin hiring minorities
in professional positions, as far back as the 1940s. We were the first Fortune 500
Company to have an African-American vice president.
That commitment to diversity continues today. The organization places a great
deal of emphasis on personal integrity and believe in long-term results, from real
accomplishments, are the only fair way to judge performance. PepsiCo respects
individual differences in culture, ethnicity and color. It is committed to equal
opportunity for all employees and applicants.
Three major sustainable advantages give PepsiCo a competitive edge as they
operate in the global marketplace:
Big, muscular brands
Proven ability to innovate and create differentiated products
Powerful go-to-market systems.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India

Historical Background
Pepsi was first made in New Bern, North Carolina in the United States in the early
1890s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham. In 1898, "Brad's drink" was changed to
"Pepsi-Cola" and later trademarked on June 16, 1903.There are several theories
on the origin of the word "pepsi".
The only two discussed within the current PepsiCo website are the following:
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
1. Caleb Bradham bought the name "Pep Kola" from a local competitor and
changed it to Pepsi-Cola.
2. "Pepsi-Cola" is an anagram for "Episcopal" - a large church across the street
from Bradham's drugstore. There is a plaque at the site of the original
drugstore documenting this, though PepsiCo has denied this theory.
The word Pepsi comes from the Greek word "pepsi" (πέψη), which is a medical
term, describing the food dissolving process within one's stomach. It is also a
medical term, that describes a problem with one's stomach to dissolve foods
properly.
Another theory is that Caleb Bradham and his customers simply thought the
name sounded good or the fact that the drink had some kind of "pep" in it
because it was a carbonated drink, they gave it the name "Pepsi".
It was made of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils, and kola nuts. Whether
the original recipe included the enzyme pepsin is disputed.
In 1903, Bradham moved the bottling of Pepsi-Cola from his drugstore into a
rented warehouse. That year, Bradham sold 7,968 gallons of syrup. The next year,
Pepsi was sold in six-ounce bottles and sales increased to 19,848 gallons. In 1924,
Pepsi received its first logo redesign since the original design of 1905. In 1926, the
logo was changed again. In 1929, automobile race pioneer Barney Oldfield
endorsed Pepsi-Cola in newspaper ads as "A bully drink...refreshing, invigorating,
a fine bracer before a race".
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
In 1929, the Pepsi-Cola Company went bankrupt during the Great Depression- in
large part due financial losses incurred by speculating on wildly fluctuating sugar
prices as a result of World War I. Assets were sold and Roy C. Megargel bought
the Pepsi trademark.
Eight years later, the company went bankrupt again. Pepsi's assets were then
purchased by Charles Guth, the President of Loft Inc. Loft was a candy
manufacturer with retail stores that contained soda fountains. He sought to
replace Coca-Cola at his stores' fountains after Coke refused to give him a
discount on syrup. Guth then had Loft's chemists reformulate the Pepsi-Cola
syrup formula.
Rise in popularity
During the Great Depression, Pepsi gained popularity following the introduction in
1929 of a 10-ounce bottle. Initially priced at 10 cents, sales were slow, but when
the price was slashed to five cents, sales increased substantially. With 12 ounces a
bottle instead of the six ounces Coca-Cola sold, Pepsi turned the price difference
to its advantage with a radio advertising campaign, featuring the jingle "Pepsi cola
hits the spot / Twelve full ounces, that's a lot / Twice as much for a nickel, too /
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Pepsi-Cola is the drink for you," encouraging price-watching consumers to switch
to Pepsi, while obliquely referring to the Coca-Cola standard of six ounces a bottle
for the price of five cents (a nickel), instead of the 12 ounces Pepsi sold at the
same price. Coming at a time of economic crisis, the campaign succeeded in
boosting Pepsi's status. In 1936 alone 500,000,000 bottles of Pepsi were
consumed. From 1936 to 1938, Pepsi Cola's profits doubled.
Pepsi's success under Guth came while the Loft Candy business was faltering.
Since he had initially used Loft's finances and facilities to establish the new Pepsi
success, the near-bankrupt Loft Company sued Guth for possession of the Pepsi
Cola company. A long legal battle, Guth v. Loft, then ensued, with the case
reaching the Delaware Supreme Court and ultimately ending in a loss for Guth.
Loft now owned Pepsi, and the two companies did a merger, then immediately
spun off the Loft company.
Marketing
In 1975, Pepsi introduced the Pepsi Challenge marketing campaign where
PepsiCo set up a blind tasting between Pepsi-Cola and rival Coca-Cola. During
these blind taste tests the majority of participants picked Pepsi as the better
tasting of the two soft drinks. PepsiCo took great advantage of the campaign with
television commercials reporting the test results to the public.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
In 1996, PepsiCo launched the highly successful Pepsi Stuff marketing strategy. By
2002, the strategy was cited by Promo Magazine as one of 16 "Ageless Wonders"
that "helped redefine promotion marketing.”
In 2007, PepsiCo redesigned their cans for the fourteenth time, and for the first
time, included more than thirty different backgrounds on each can, introducing a
new background every three weeks.

Performance with Purpose
Performance with Purpose articulates PepsiCo India's belief that its businesses are
intrinsically connected to the communities and world that surrounds it.
Performance with Purpose means delivering superior financial performance at the
same time as we improve the world.
To deliver on this commitment, PepsiCo India will build on the incredibly strong
foundation of achievement and scale up its initiatives while focusing on the
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
following 4 critical areas that have a business link and where Pepsico believe that
we can have the most impact.
1. PepsiCo India continues to expand its expertise in water conservation.
2. PepsiCo India’s Agri-partnerships with farmers help farmers across the
country grow and earn more.
3. PepsiCo India continues to strengthen its Solid Waste Management
initiatives. These award winning initiatives will establish Zero Solid Waste
centres in districts throughout the country.
4. PepsiCo India will stay committed to the health and well-being of children.
It will continue to provide children with a healthy and fun portfolio while
simultaneously tackling the calories out’ side of the equation by expanding
its Get Active programme for kids, especially for school going children.
PepsiCo has initiated the Get Active programme that promotes active
lifestyles and healthy nutritional habits among children in approximately
120 schools located in Delhi and Mumbai.

PEPSICO’s role in Conserving the world's
most precious asset: Water
PepsiCo is committed to minimizing the impact of its business on the
environment and recognizes that corporations can play a key role in using
scarce resources such as water with care and responsibility.
While agriculture utilizes the bulk of fresh water in India (83%), industry uses
6% of which the beverage industry uses but a mere 0.04%. But every drop
counts and PepsiCo India's primary focus in its beverage and snacks plants
has been on conserving water at each stage of the manufacturing process.
Positive Water Balance
In 2003 PepsiCo India embarked on its journey to achieve Positive Water
Balance by 2009. In other words, the total water that is conserved or
recharged at the plant and community level should exceed the total water
usage.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Reducing water debit
The pursuit of the vision to
achieve Positive Water Balance
resulted in water as a resource
being "revalued" across the
organization...
Strengthening water credit
Having reduced the "debit" side of the
water balance equation significantly,
attention was focused on earning the
"credits" to achieve Positive Water
Balance...
Reducing water debit
The pursuit of the vision to achieve Positive Water Balance resulted in water
as a resource being "revalued" across the organization. This, in turn,
catalyzed a comprehensive movement to conserve and optimize water usage
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
within the manufacturing process (or the debit side). The multi-pronged
approach across manufacturing plants included innovative reuse and
recycling initiatives in the manufacturing process that focused on the
reduction of water usage. In the last five years, these initiatives in India have
enabled PepsiCo India to reduce water use in manufacturing plants by over
60%, and--in the last two years alone-- the company has saved over 2 billion
liters of water.
In-plant water recharge and harvesting
The multi-pronged approach comprises awareness, commitment and metrics,
installation of water recovery equipment and improved water management
practices. Thanks to significant contributions from our beverage plants, along
with the tremendous amount of water recycled through the starch recovery
process used in our snack plants, PepsiCo reduced water use in
manufacturing plants by over 60% and in the last two years itself the
company has saved over
2 billion litres of water by reusing water for processes such as cooling towers,
watering gardens and flushes, PepsiCo India plants achieved a total
reduction in waste water of over 80% in 2006 and 2007.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Zero Water Discharge
Harvesting Water
Rain or roof water harvesting methods have become standard practice for all
PepsiCo plants in order to maintain and strengthen water reserves in the
surrounding areas. Examples consist of the Jainpur, Bazpur, Bharuch,
Palakkad, Panipat and Neelamangala plants, along with the snack plants in
Channo and Pune, which harvest and collect rain water in excavated lakes
and ponds while the Mamundar, Mahul and Panipat plants use roof water
harvesting to rejuvenate the surrounding aquifers.
Strengthening water credit
Having reduced the "debit" side of the water balance equation significantly,
attention was focused on earning the "credits" to achieve Positive Water
Balance. Rain and roof water harvesting structures were constructed
whereever feasible. Community water projects were initiated, and
comprehensive watershed management programmes in partnership with
TERI (The Energy Resources Institute) in diverse and challenging geographic
locations were started. Next on the agenda was the untapped potential for
significant water reductions through interventions in agriculture.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Community Projects
Providing water to surrounding communities has been another key focus
area for PepsiCo India plants in Neelamangala in Karnataka, Palakkad in
Kerala, and Sangareddy and Mamandur in Tamil Nadu. Due to acute water
scarcity in these villages, thousands of villagers had to walk a distance of 1 to
2 kms each way to collect water. With PepsiCo's support, villagers
participated and actively contributed to the construction of taps, water
tanks, bore wells and submergible pumps in their villages.
The benefits of PepsiCo’s community water initiatives in these villages were
tremendous. In Mamandur and Sangareddy, the lives of more than
7,500 community members have become considerably easier. Through the
efforts of the PepsiCo Palakkad plant, clean water was provided to more than
2,000 village members while PepsiCo's Neelamangala plant supported rural
water projects in 2 villages which covered 2,500 people in these locations
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Water conservation in agriculture
Agricultural interventions are another opportune area to achieve water
balance. Over the last three years, PepsiCo India, in partnership with the
Punjab Government, has been involved in trials of direct seeding versus
conventional transplantation in rice fields. The direct seeding methodology
has shown the potential to reduce water consumption significantly.
The common method of growing Paddy is by first raising a nursery and then
manually transplanting it to a field "puddled" with three to four inches of
water. As opposed to this water intensive method, the direct seeding method
sows the seeds directly in the fields. This method results in a higher yield due
to the higher seeding density.
Over the last three years, PepsiCo India has conducted trials of various paddy
varieties in farmer's fields to validate the technology. A seeding machine
which can sow paddy seeds at a specified gap and at a uniform depth has
also been developed. Repeated direct seeding methodology trials have
demonstrated water savings of 30% (2.5 million litres/acre). A large-scale
implementation of this initiative has the potential to achieve huge water
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
savings.
TERI-PepsiCo project in Karnataka and Uttaranchal
In 2004, PepsiCo partnered with The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), a
scientific research organization, to study and rejuvenate local water bodies.
The aim of this project was to enhance the quality and access of water to
villagers in Neelamangala, Karnataka and around Dehradun and Mukteswar
in Uttaranchal and currently recharges 300 million litres of water every year.
The results of the partnership were commendable. Currently, PepsiCo’s
community project in Karnataka provides water, health and sanitation
services to 3,000 people residing in 4 villages.
Co
mmunity participation played an important role in the success of the project.
Local Government bodies, community youth groups and women’s self help
groups played a critical role in the construction of 128 toilets, 5 vermin
compost pits and 1 community vermin compost pit. To promote the
collection of solid waste, approximately 500 dustbins have been distributed
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
to community members.
Agricultural programmers initiated in these areas also serve to improve
irrigation systems. Drip irrigation has been implemented in farmer’s fields
while a farm pond for storing water and using it to replenish a vegetable
garden is currently in the process of being constructed. Other ongoing
projects include the construction of a water recharge structure and a
rainwater harvesting structure for a school.
In addition to this, high yield cash crops and integrated pest management
systems are being promoted. Best practices on organic approaches are
shared with community members along with methods to improve moisture
content of the soil. The initiatives implemented in these communities also
include public education about sanitation and hygiene along with provision of
health care facilities and health education to improve awareness levels of
community members.
To supplement these programmes in a more holistic manner, enterprise and
sustainable livelihood development is also promoted and villagers are trained
in mushroom processing while self help groups are trained in various income
generation activities to help create a viable local economy. Besides being
deeply involved in the implementation of the various community projects,
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
community members have also contributed financially to the ongoing work.
Progress made in Uttaranchal
In Uttarkhand, PepsiCo's partnership with TERI has been successful in
rejuvenating traditional water harvesting structures in villages. This initiative
has transformed 4 villages in Uttarkhand into model villages. The villagers
have also benefited immensely from the health and sanitation initiatives
developed with the support of PepsiCo and TERI along with a programme to
promote renewable energy. The results of this integrated watershed
development programme have created a holistic and sustainable change in
the villages.
Waste to Wealth by PEPSICO
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
PepsiCo-Exnora's solid waste management programme
PepsiCo India continues to strengthen its Solid Waste Management initiatives in
partnership with Exnora, an environmental NGO. This award winning, income
generating partnership currently impacts more than 1,00,000 people in Tamil Nadu
and Panipat.
Award winning Zero Waste Management Programme in Pammal, Tamil
Nadu
Effective and environmentally friendly disposal of municipal waste is a major challenge
for local Government bodies. In partnership with the Government, NGOs and
community members, PepsiCo India continues to implement waste management
projects in various districts in the country.
Despite the creation of a detailed policy on Solid Waste Management and Handling
rules in 2000, very few municipalities in the country were able to completely comply
with these rules. PepsiCo India and EXNORA effectively implemented a model project in
Pammal district in Tamil Nadu that adhered to the Government policy on waste
management. The project created a visible difference in the local environment of the
region.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Implemented in a few wards of the Pammal district and impacting a population of over
22,000, the programme imparted training on recycling waste rather than simply
relocating it. The programme involved the creation of infrastructure, usage of superior
grade EXORCO compost, recycling of plastic and steel waste, road cleaning, street
beautification, sanitation awareness programmes and a tree plantation programme
that include the concept of 'Each Child Adopt a Tree'.
Households were encouraged to segregate their bio-degradable waste from their
recyclable waste. The bio-degradable waste was converted into high quality organic
manure through the process of vermi-culture. The sale of recyclable waste provided a
stream of income to sustain the project which improved the ambience of Pammal
district.
Every aspect of the programme was built around maximum community and
Government participation which helped the programme evolve into a self sustaining
model. This unique initiative was awarded the environmental Golden Peacock Award
for Innovation in 2006 and was recognized as a model project by UNICEF in 2007.
PepsiCo-EXNORA's Zero Waste Management initiative in Pammal
recognized as a model project by UNICEF
PepsiCo-EXNORA's pioneering Zero Waste Management project in Pammal, Tamil Nadu
was selected by UNICEF as a model project and a centre for international learning in the
area of Urban Solid Waste Management.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
With an aim to
understand the planning, process, implementation and impact of the program, a team
of 21 UNICEF delegates from 9 countries, which consisted of Denmark, Egypt, Zambia,
Phillipines, Indonesia, Nepal, East Jerusalem, Djibouti and Ethiopia, visited the Pammal
project and recognized it as being a unique initiative which demonstrates a strong
partnership between community members, the Government, NGOs and the corporate
sector.
In 2007, UNICEF included urban solid waste management as part of its sanitation pillar
and it selected Pammal's Zero Waste Management centre as a best case study for it
team of international delegates. This prestigious recognition by UNICEF follows the
Golden Peacock Award For Innovation received by PepsiCo India and Exnora for their
partnership in this unique waste recycling program.
The Environmental Training Institute - promoting knowledge and
building capacity in solid waste management
EXNORA and PepsiCo inaugurated the Environmental Training Institute (EXPEETI) in
2007.
The Training Institute acts as a knowledge centre and creates awareness in the area of
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
solid waste management for stakeholders and various decision makers. An integral
responsibility of this initiative is to spread knowledge on how to adapt existing
technologies and customize them to suit specific local conditions. The Training Institute
serves to support and strengthen the capacity of the local Government and conducts
training programmes for all stakeholders, promotes information exchange mechanisms
and helps bring together a network of professionals working in the area of solid waste
management.
Recycling initiatives in Nagapattinam, Cuddalore, Tenkasi, Sangareddy in
Tamil Nadu and Panipat in Haryana
The inauguration of the PepsiCo India-EXNORA Zero Waste Management Project in
Nagapattinam marked the expansion of PepsiCo India and Exnora's efforts to manage
domestic solid waste in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Continuous door-to-door campaigns, rallies and street plays are carried out to motivate
people to segregate organic and inorganic garbage at source. The organic waste is
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
converted into compost using vermi-culture and the inorganic waste is sorted into
categories for recycling.
The innovative project not only promotes sanitary surroundings, but provides several
opportunities for micro-enterprises such as PET bottle, waste paper and tetra pack
recycling.
Along with this project in Nagapattinam, the PepsiCo Foundation also initiated similar
projects in Cuddalore, Tenkasi and Sangareddy in Tamil Nadu and in 2007, inaugarated
the programme in Panipat, Haryana.
PepsiCo India's agri-partnerships with farmers help
farmers across the country grow and earn more
PepsiCo's involvement in Indian agriculture stems from its vision of creating a
cost-effective, localised agri-base in India by leveraging its access to world
class agricultural practices. During the process of working in close
cooperation with State Governments, PepsiCo helped transform the lives of
thousands of farmers by helping them refine their farming techniques and
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
raise farm productivity.
The most ambitious project is a joint programme, launched in 1989, between
PepsiCo India, the Punjab Agriculture University (PAU) in Ludhiana and
Punjab Agro Industries Corporation (PAIC) in Chandigarh. The programme
focuses on evolving agricultural practices to help Punjab farmers produce
crops that would make Indian products internationally competitive.
PepsiCo pioneered the concept of contract farming under which the PepsiCo
team transfers agriculture technology to farmers who, in turn, produce raw
material for PepsiCo products. To support the initiative PepsiCo set up a 27-
acre research and demonstration farm in Punjab to conduct farm trials of
new varieties of tomato, potato and other crops.
The programme, which includes seed production, has successfully evaluated
the following crops:
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
several varieties of basmati rice more than 200 varieties and hybrids of
chilli
25 varieties and hybrids of corn
more than 60 varieties of peanut
more than 100 varieties and hybrids of tomato.
Additionally, the development of new tomato varieties has helped increase
total annual production of tomato varieties from 28,000 tons to over 200,000
tons in Punjab. Yields have more than tripled from 16 tons to 54 tons per
hectare.
Under the programme, 6 high-quality, high-yield potato varieties have also
been introduced to Indian farmers. These new potato seeds have helped to
increase farm income and enabled PepsiCo to procure world class chip-grade
potatoes for its Frito Lay snacks division. The company has partnered with
more than 15,000 farmers working in over 10,000 acres across Punjab, U.P.,
Karnataka, Jharkand West Bengal and Maharashtra for the supply of
potatoes.
A juicy opportunity-PepsiCo Citrus Project Extending the
initiative………
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
The PepsiCo/Tropicana and PAGREXCO (Punjab Agri Export Corporation)
Citrus Development Programme has emerged as one of the most successful
models of public-private partnerships in Indian agri-business.PepsiCo
supported the Punjab Government on the citrus project which served
to improve the quality of life for thousands of farmers and also created a
localised supply base for citrus juice under Tropicana, the world's largest
juice brand. PepsiCo was also interested in exploring the export potential of
the local produce. The project, signed in 2002, served to deepen PepsiCo's
involvement in Punjab agriculture which started in 1989. It also marked a
step forward in fulfilling its commitment to improving the quality of life for
thousands of farmers.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Today, farmers can choose from 16 varieties of rootstock and 32 varieties of
citrus. This is one of the largest collections at a commercial nursery, creating
a world-class source of planting material for Punjab's farmers. This is a
mutually beneficial situation for PepsiCo and the farmers of Punjab.
PepsiCo also provided technical support and expertise to the Punjab
Government to set up two fruit processing plants in Hoshiarpur and Abohar
which are prime citrus growing areas in Punjab. Each plant is capable of
processing multiple fruits, offering an advantaged supply chain for fruit juice
concentrates. Each Plant contains cold stores with a capacity of 2400 tons for
finished products. Trials have been carried out with Kinnow, Musambi,
Tomatoes, Mangoes, Melons and Strawberries.

PEPSICO for Healthy Kids
PepsiCo India stays committed to the health and well-being of children.
It will continue to provide children with a healthy and fun portfolio while
simultaneously tackling the 'calories out' side of the equation by
expanding its Get Active programme for kids.
PepsiCo India believes that in order to build its business in a sustainable
manner, it has a responsibility to ensure that its consumers are
nourished in multiple dimensions. PepsiCo India has been proactive in
taking a variety of steps to sustain and strengthen this platform of
human sustainability.
PepsiCo's diverse portfolio
PepsiCo’s diverse portfolio reflects its commitment to provide
consumers with nutritious options. The wide spectrum of nutritious
options offered by PepsiCo includes its range of Tropicana juices,
rehydrating Gatorade sports drinks and Aquafina packaged drinking
water. Frito Lay’s healthy snack options include the high-fibre breakfast
cereal, Quaker Oats, while the nutritious Lehar Lite range of snacks
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
contains 25% less oil. Its core products, Lay’s Kurkure, Uncle Chipps and
Cheetos are cooked in Rice Bran Oil to significantly reduce saturated
fats. The Lehar “roasted” line of namkeens uses oil sparingly in its
products and only in the seasoning. None of Frito Lay’s products contain
MSG or transfats and all of them contain voluntary J
The Health and Wellness agenda is focused on several fronts to make its
existing core products healthier with reduced fats, fewer calories and no
caffeine as well as expanding it range of 'good for you' products such as
Quaker Oats, Tropicana and Gatorade.
PepsiCo India is focusing its innovation, and Research and Development
efforts to make its core offerings healthier. For example products such
as Lay's, Kurkure and Cheetos are now healthier as they are cooked in
Rice bran oil which has successfully reduced the saturated fat in these
brands by 40%,
PepsiCo India is also committed to expand it's range of healthy products
which include the high-fiber breakfast cereal, Quaker Oats, while it
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
continuing to work on expanding its range of Tropicana juice variants.
Another key effort lies in tackling the ‘calories out’ side of the equation
by encouraging active lifestyles especially for school going children.
PepsiCo has initiated the Get Active programme that promotes active
lifestyles and healthy nutritional habits among children in approximately
120 schools located in Delhi and Mumbai.
Calories Out - Getting Active!
One of the ways to battle the growing issue of obesity is to tackle the
'calories out' side of the equation by encouraging active lifestyles
especially for school going children.
Launched in 2006, Get Active is a partnership between PepsiCo India
and Swashrit Society, an NGO. The programme currently covers 1,00,000
children enrolled in 120 schools in Mumbai and Delhi.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Through the Get Active programme, PepsiCo's snack and beverage
businesses collaborate with the National Advisory Board - comprising
medical practitioners, nutritionists and public health policy experts - to
work towards our vision of improving the health and well-being of our
children. The Get Active programme promotes active lifestyles and
healthy nutritional habits among children in schools.
In 2007, a Get Active seminar was organised by Swashrit in association
with the Indian Medical Association (IMA) to facilitate a discussion
between leading NGOs, principals and representatives from CBSE on
how to incorporate an essential balance of physical activities into school
curriculums. This first of its kind seminar reflected PepsiCo's
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
commitment to spreading awareness and creating a holistic network of
professionals working in areas relevant to this issue.
In 2008, Get Active will be implemented nationally in all 6 metros.

1-Ingredient Delivery
Sweetener
Team of professionals, work on selecting, auditing, sampling, testing, approving and then
authorizing the sugar suppliers and the list of such authorized suppliers with approved sugar
lots and along with the certificate of analysis are sent across to all the bottling unit for
procurement.
Secret Formula
Created in special concentrate plants, it's delivered, held and used under strict controls to
maintain its integrity and security. Each unit of concentrate is especially identifiable to allow
the "history" of each component to be researched at any stage of production, storage or use.
CO2 Formula
when delivered to the plant, carbon dioxide, or CO2, comes in cylinders for easy delivery and
storage. But what is it? In essence, it's a colorless and odorless gas that provides the "fizz" for
beverages. But it's also a by-product of breathing and used by plants and trees to produce
oxygen.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Water
since water is a key component to all beverages, its quality is critical. And, since public water
quality varies around the world, each plant further treats the water it uses. This means that
before water is added to any of beverages; it's rigorously filtered and cleansed. Then
continuously sample the water to ensure it meet PepsiCo’s standards.
Materials
Ingredients are not the only things delivered to the plant. Other materials such as bottles,
cans, labels and packaging are also delivered. Pepsico plants in India use refillable bottles,
CANS, PET etc. in the Production Process, when bottles and cans are delivered to the plant;
they are carefully inspected to ensure that they meet exacting standards. Once these have
passed initial inspection, they move on to be washed and/or rinsed.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
2-Washing and Rinsing
To ensure quality, each bottle is washed, sanitized and rinsed before being filled.
While this sounds simple, the actual steps can differ by bottling plant. In India,
PepsiCo’s plants use refillable glass, cans or PET bottles. To ensure they meet
PepsiCo’s cleanliness standard, bottles are first hit with prerinse jets which remove
any dirt or debris. They are then soaked in a high-temperature deep cleaning
solution that removes any remaining dirt and sanitizes them. The bottles then
move to the "hydrowash" where they are washed again with a deep cleaning
pressure-spray.

3-Mixing and BlendingH2O and Sugar
Mixing and blending begin with the steps of mixing pure water with refined sugar,
which creates simple syrup. The syrup is then measured for the correct amount of
sugar.
Secret Formula
PepsiCo’s secret formula is... still secret! That's right; the secret formula remains a
mystery to the millions of people in nearly 200 countries that enjoys refreshing
beverages everyday.
H20 and Syrup
With the syrup nearing its final state,mix it with pure water, creating the finished
uncarbonated beverage. However, the water and syrup must be mixed in right
ratio. This is done by the beverage proportioning equipment. It accurately
measures the correct ratio for each and sends this mixture to the carbonator.
CO2 Adding
Adding CO2 or carbon dioxide gas is the final touch that carbonates the
beverages. Carbon dioxide not only gives our beverages their effervescent zest,
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
but it also adds to the distinctive and familiar taste everyone has come to expect
from PepsiCo’s beverages.
4-Filling
Once all the ingredients have been mixed and blended and the bottles have been
cleaned and sanitized, it ready to start filling. This is a surprisingly complex process
requiring precision at each step. To begin with, bottles must be carefully timed as
they move to the filler - synchronization is key. Once at the filler, bottles are either
held securely in place by flexible grippers or precisely placed under filling valves by
centering devices. Before the bottles can be filled, the inside of the bottles must be
pressurized. This allows for the force of gravity itself to draw the beverage into the
bottle - a process that ensures the smooth flow of liquid, with little to no foaming.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
5-Labeling
Once the bottles have been filled and capped, they move on to be labeled. A
special machine dispenses labels from large rollers, cuts them and place on the
bottles.
6-Coding
The bottle is now ready to be coded. Each one of our beverages is marked with a
special code that identifies specific information about it. The codes simply identify
the date the beverages was bottled or canned. These codes identify the date,
time, batch no. and the MRP. Product coding allows us to ensure that consumer
receive PepsiCo’s beverages at their flavorful best.
7-Inspection
PepsiCo inspect bottles at many points during the process. With refillable bottles,
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
it happens they are first brought into the plant. They are also inspected after they
are washed and again after they are filled. Inspectors look for external bottle
imperfections and make sure each bottle has the right amount of beverages. Even
after filling, each plant samples bottles for analysis in its lab to ensure quality is up
to standards.
8-Packaging
Once filled beverages have passed final inspection, they are ready to be packaged
for delivery. Generally, packing can refer to everything from the unique "BOTTLE"
and "CAN" designs, to label designs, to cardboard boxes and containers, to plastic
rings.
Because the needs and tastes of consumers are so diverse, the packaging varies
depending on where the beverages are being sent.
9-Warehousing and Delivery
In order to make sure the freshest beverages possible get to customer, each
warehouse must efficiently manage the thousands of beverages cases produced
each day.
Beverage organization is key, though it's the bottle and can coding that allow for
the necessary precision. From the warehouse, we load beverages onto distinctive
trucks. Night and day, trucks are delivering PepsiCo’s refreshing beverages to
stores, soda fountains, and vending machines.

Re-launch of Slice in Jalandhar territory
PepsiCo India has announced the re-launch of its mango drink Slice as it plans
to take away market share in the fruit drink segment from competitors Frooti
and Maaza.
Slice has changed its logo and adopted a new tagline. The reformulated drink
with a tagline 'Absolutely Mangolicious' has roped in Katrina Kaif as the
brand ambassador because the main consumer segment of soft drinks
belongs to the age group of 5 – 40 yrs and it also popular among older person
. Specially In India where over the last few years where the juice segment is
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
rapidly overpowering the soft drinks market.
"With the range of products available in the market, consumers are very
flirtatious. Even with the market share PepsiCo currently hold, PepsiCo felt
the need to re-evaluate its product,"
On 24th march 2008,Pepsico India re- launched of Slice .Slice is a very
important element of pepsico ‘s vast product portfolio ,
There many players In mango drinks segment such as Maaza, Frooti, Jumpin ,
Verka & Leh Berry and it was important for pepsico to make its active
presence felt in the market.
Slice promotion in Jalandhar territory
Slice was re-launched in Jalandhar region in yhe last week of march.This is
the perfect time to launch any new soft drink as this is the season when the
sales peak.
Slice was promoted by two ways in Jalandhar
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
1)Focus on retailers
2) Focus on consumers
Focus on retailers
On the first day of the re-launch pepsico distributed only slice to its retailers.
Later they introduced better schemes for their retailers in slice to induce the
retailers to buy more and more slice for e.g. they gave away 3 bottles of slice
500 ml with every crate of pepsico soft drinks.
I was given the task to make the retailers aware about this new flavor of slice
and convince them to purchase and the sell more crates of slice .
Pepsico ‘s punchline is ‘jo dikhta hai who bikhta hai’ and we worked on this
line to improve the sales of slice. To generate impulse among the consumers
we created a lucrative environment by putting up huge displays of slice
bottles and posters in the shop.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Focus on Consumer
This was also done in two ways
1) Above the line promotion
2) Below the line promotion
Above the line promotion is any promotion which is related to print media.
This was done by putting up advertisements in local newspapers and giving
discount coupons in newspapers. Discount coupons of Rs. 10 were given in
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
dainik bhaskar, Punjab kesri and dainik jagran.
Below the line promotion is done by setting up kiosks or canopies. I was given
a certain area in Jalandhar where 4 canopies were set up and my task was to
supervise the promoters sitting there and then spread awareness among
the consumers by direct marketing . We gave away glasses of chilled slice to
consumers to make them aware of the new taste and impress them to buy
slice on the spot,we also provide them with discount coupons of rs 5 on
purchase of 1.2 l bottle of slice which had one day’s validity. This also
boosted the sales of slice. This was a week’s task and during this time we
reached out to around 7000 people and we had a conversion rate of 35-40%.

Quality control Parameters
PepsiCo follows one quality standard across the globe.
PepsiCo’s soft drinks meet the local Indian standards (Health Ministry
Standards for carbonated beverages notified July 15, 2004) which compare
to the best-in-class and most stringent international standards being
followed anywhere in the world.
PepsiCo’s products comply with the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act
(PFA) directive on the use of water in the preparation of soft drinks. also
PepsiCo comply with Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) for packaged drinking
water. PepsiCo’s use a six-stage water purification process to deliver this
standard consistently.
PepsiCo has a long-standing commitment to protecting the consumers whose
trust and confidence in its products is the bedrock of its success. In order to
ensure that consumers stay informed about the global quality of all PepsiCo
products sold in India, PepsiCo products carry a quality assurance seal on
them. The ‘One Quality Worldwide’ assurance seal appears on the entire
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
range of PepsiCo’s beverages.
Water Quality: Incoming Water
Water accounts for the bulk of all beverages including colas. In other
words, the water used in soft drinks must be as safe as possible for
human consumption.
How do we ensure this?
Every water source used for PepsiCo beverages must first be
analytically qualified, which includes using accredited laboratories
to test for at least 100 parameters
At every plant, require the incoming water to be purified even
further, using a variety of processes. At a minimum, every plant in
India employs a dual back-to-back carbon filter.

Standards for flavours and other ingredients
PepsiCo’s flavor concentrates, which make up less than 1% of
finished beverages, also are diligently controlled
Each supplier must submit written verification that each lot of
ingredient shipped to facilities meets PepsiCo’s strict
specifications
In addition to water, sugar, and flavor testing, other ingredients,
including non agricultural have been analyzed by outside
laboratories
All ingredients including flavours, emulsifiers, preservatives,
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
colors, acidulants, anti-oxidants and low-calorie sweeteners are
food grade and have been approved by global food standards like
the JECFA/CODEX, USFDA and EU Scientific Committee for Foods.
All ingredients used also conform to standards laid out by the
Prevention of Food Adulteration Act under the health ministry
Sugar
Sugar accounts for 10 to 13% of a soft drink
Sugar must meet high standards of quality, which are uniform for
all of beverage plants across the globe. All of sugar manufacturers
must undergo the same supplier qualification process
To add to already high quality standards, all of PepsiCo’s plants in
India further purify sugar with hot activated carbon and fine
filtration.
Quality of sugar
At PepsiCo, sugar is bought only from approved sugar mills after a rigorous supplier
qualification process described below:
Self Assessment Perform self-assessment tool to evaluate current sugar situation and knowledge base

Packaging trend in soft drink industry
The beverage industry is one among the front-liners where massive investments
are being made for expansion and technological upgradation. The packaging of
beverages carbonated and non- carbonated is a complex technological branch in
the Food Processing /Packaging industry. The traditional returnable glass bottle
has given way to newer Plastic containers as well as cartons. The current trend is
to improve the conventional containers, extend their share in the large market,
extend the shelf-life of the products, provide greater consumer convenience and
ultimately to produce economic packages.
The changing Indian scenario, with implementation of various technologies and
market Promotion activities, has changed the scope for this industry
exponentially. The Indian soft drink market is worth Rs. 21,600 million a year with
a growth of around 7%. The production of soft drink has increased from 6230
million bottles in 1999-2000 to 1,05,000 million by the year 2005.Tetrapack drink
market Is currently growing at the rate of 10% with a total market share of 48%.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Carbonated drinks contain carbonated water, flavour, colour, sweeteners and
preservatives.CO2 Gas from pure source is dissolved in water (amount varies with
different types of beverages). A variety of ingredients like flavouring agents,
colouring agents, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, antioxidants and foaming
agents are then added. Two major deteriorative changes that occur in carbonated
drinks are the loss of carbonation and rancidification of essential flavouring oils.
The first is largely a function of the effectiveness of the package in providing a
barrier to gas permeation, while the latter can be prevented by the use of high
quality flavourings and antioxidants, and de-aerating the mix prior to carbonation.
Oxidative rancidity is reduced by the effectiveness of the package in providing a
barrier to gas permeation. Hence, the carbonated drink package requires a
container that will hold pressure and not contribute off flavours. For many years
virtually all carbonated drink soft drink were packaged in glass bottles sealed with
crown cork. In recent years, non-returnable glass bottles are giving way to
refillable bottles. These have a foam plastic protective label of paper/poly or an all
plastic shrink sleeve, as a safety measure to prevent flying of glass fragments in
case of breakage of these containers. The crown closure has been replaced with a
roll-on aluminium screw cap with tamper proof facility.
Among the metal containers, the 3-piece tinplate containers have been used since
long for the packaging of carbonated beverages. These are being replaced now by
2-piece aluminium cans. These cans retain the integrity of lacquer better than tin
cans. Vinyl, epoxy and vinyl organosolcoatings are used as lacquers for aluminium
cans. Epoxy amine provides good adhesion, colourand flexibility to the can.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
Among the plastic containers, PET bottles are the most preferred packaging
material for packaging of soft drinks.
Soft drinks have a maximum permissible level of 20ppm for citrus flavoured
beverages and 40ppm for cola while the water loss is of the order of 1%. Also, the
loss of CO2 through the wall must be allowed for. While increasing thickness will
decrease the rate of CO2permeation, The cost of the bottle, will also increase and
so a compromise has to be made. Other problems to be considered in plastic
containers are creep and elastic deformation. The polyethylene terephthalate
(PET) bottle satisfies most of the requirements for packaging of carbonated soft
drinks. Improved blow moulding techniques and bi-axial stretching have made
PET container to be pressurised due to its strength, dimensional stability and
precision. Also, they have a glasslike appearance, good transparency, lustre,
chemical inertness and unbreakability.
Advantages of PET Containers
The advantages of PET container are:
• Superior packaging to product ratio: PET container being 63% and 47% more energy efficient than glass bottles and aluminium cans respectively.
• PET bottles are 32% more energy efficient than glass bottles during delivery of 1000 gallons of soft drinks.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
•Glass bottles and Aluminium-cans generate 230% and 175% times more atmosphere ice missions compared to PET.
•PET bottles contribute 68% and 18% less solid waste by weight compared to glass and aluminium containers.
•100 kg of oil is required to produce 1000 1-litre PET bottles as against 230 kg for 1000equivalent glass bottles.
•PET bottles help in fuel saving due to their lower weight.
The resins used in PET bottles to pack carbonated drinks are of a very special
quality. The PET bottles have to be extremely strong to contain the internal
pressure of CO2 Without distortion and expansion. This is obtained by using a
resin, which has high intrinsic viscosity and lower co-polymer levels. Currently,
more than 90% of PET is consumed in food packaging with beverages/drinks
forming nearly 80%.
The packaging requirements for all types of beverages are:
1. Absolutely leak-proof and prevent contamination.
2. Protect the contents against chemical deterioration no pick up of external
flavors.
3. Be hygienic and safe.
4. Retain carbonation in the case of carbonated beverages.
5. Good aesthetic appearance.
6. Economical, easy to use and dispose.

Agri Business Operation
PepsiCo's involvement in Indian agriculture stems from its vision of creating a
cost-effective, localised agri-base in India by leveraging its access to world class
agricultural practices. During the process of working in close cooperation with
State Governments, PepsiCo helped transform the lives of thousands of farmers
by helping them refine their farming techniques and raise farm productivity.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
PepsiCo pioneered the concept of contract farming under which the PepsiCo team
transfers agriculture technology to farmers who, in turn, produce raw material for
PepsiCo products. Pepsico give yearly average 12000 rupees(+20% annual
increment) per acre to formers (depends on location and fertility of land).lease
period are generally 10 to 15 years for horticulture purpose (for fruit plants).Till
now Jalandhar unit has done contract of 1200 acres of land with farmers, till 2010
they plan for 5000 acres.
The PepsiCo/Tropicana and PAGREXCO (Punjab Agri Export Corporation) Citrus
Development Programme has emerged as one of the most successful models of
public-private partnerships in Indian agri-business.PepsiCo supported the Punjab
Government on the citrus project which served to improve the quality of life for
thousands of farmers and also created a localised supply base for citrus juice
under Tropicana, the world's largest juice brand. PepsiCo was also interested in
exploring the export potential of the local produce. The project, signed in 2002,
served to deepen PepsiCo's involvement in Punjab agriculture which started in
1989. It also marked a step forward in fulfilling its commitment to improving the
quality of life for thousands of farmers.
Today, farmers can choose from 16 varieties of rootstock and 32 varieties of
citrus. This is one of the largest collections at a commercial nursery, creating a
world-class source of planting material for Punjab's farmers. This is a mutually
beneficial situation for PepsiCo and the farmers of Punjab.
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
PepsiCo also provided technical support and expertise to the Punjab Government
to set up two fruit processing plants in Hoshiarpur and Abohar which are prime
citrus growing areas in Punjab. Each plant is capable of processing multiple fruits,
offering an advantaged supply chain for fruit juice concentrates. Each Plant
contains cold stores with a capacity of 2400 tons for finished products. Trials have
been carried out with Kinnow, Musambi, Tomatoes, Mangoes, Melons and
Strawberries.
To support the initiative PepsiCo set up a 27-acre research and demonstration
farm in Punjab to conduct farm trials of new varieties of tomato, potato and other
crops.
The programme, which includes seed production, has successfully evaluated the
following crops:
several varieties of basmati rice more than 200 varieties and hybrids of
chilli
Marketing equipment excellence in Jalandhar territory for PepsiCo India
25 varieties and hybrids of corn
more than 60 varieties of peanut
more than 100 varieties and hybrids of tomato.
Additionally, the development of new tomato varieties has helped increase total
annual production of tomato varieties from 28,000 tons to over 200,000 tons in
Punjab. Yields have more than tripled from 16 tons to 54 tons per hectare.
Under the programme, 6 high-quality, high-yield potato varieties have also been
introduced to Indian farmers. These new potato seeds have helped to increase
farm income and enabled PepsiCo to procure world class chip-grade potatoes for
its Frito Lay snacks division. The company has partnered with more than 15,000
farmers working in over 10,000 acres across Punjab, U.P., Karnataka, Jharkand
West Bengal and Maharashtra for the supply of potatoes.
