Company pledges to replenish more than 100% of water used in high-risk areas by 2030
PepsiCo Inc., Purchase, N.Y., announced its ambition to become "Net Water Positive" by 2030, aiming to replenish more water than the company uses, which would place it among the most water-efficient food or beverage manufacturers operating in high-risk watersheds.
With safe water access a critical component of the holistic water stewardship agenda, The PepsiCo Foundation also is launching a new $1 million program with leading NGO and long-term partner, WaterAid to bring safe water to families in Sub-Saharan Africa ― expanding its 15-year, more than $53 million safe water access initiative that reaches more than 20 countries and has helped more than 59 million people since 2006.
