Strive for positive
water balance in our
operations in water-
distressed areas.
In 2009, PepsiCo’s operations in
India achieved positive water
balance, enabling us to give back
to society more water than we
used to manufacture our prod-
ucts. To expand this achieve-
ment to other water-distressed
areas where we have a presence,
we have launched a number of
projects. In 2010, for example,
we began working with The
Nature Conservancy to develop
ways to identify areas of high
water risk, so we can focus our
attention and resources on
achieving “net positive water
impact” in the most vulnerable
areas where we operate. We
have selected watersheds in
China, Mexico, Europe, India
and the U.S. to pilot the develop-
ment of a flexible and robust
system that allows PepsiCo
plants not only to characterize
their water risk, but also iden-
tify locally relevant restoration
initiatives that will improve
water availability. (*)

Improve our water-use
eciency by 20percent
per unit of production
by2015.
Water eciency has long been an envi-
ronmental focus at PepsiCo. Through
the third quarter of 2010, our global food
and beverage businesses reduced water-
use intensity by 19.5percent versus
2006. And we’re on track to achieve our
2015 target for company-owned facili-
ties. Upgrading our facilities with new
technologies is one important way we
are reaching this goal. For example, our
Frito-Lay facility in Casa Grande,
Arizona has been equipped with a state-
of-the-art water filtration and
purification system that can recycle and
reuse up to 75percent of the water
usedin production. Similar technology
is also being deployed in our Tingalpa
facility in Australia, a water-stressed
area. We will continue to apply lessons
learned in one facility to others across
our global footprint. (*)
At our Frito-Lay facility in Casa Grande, Arizona,
we are applying membrane bioreactor and low-
pressure reverse osmosis technology to purify and
recycle up to 75 percent of the site’s process water.
Reduced water-
use intensity by
19.5 percent as of
third quarter 2010,
compared to our
2006 baseline.(*)
