agriculture practices, and helping 12,000
farmers form a cooperative and establish

Promote environmental
education and best practices
among our associates and
business partners.
We have launched a host of initiatives
with associates and partners that accel-
erate the adoption of environmental
sustainability practices through educa-
tion. In April 2010, more than 700 asso-
ciates, suppliers and vendors, including
representatives from 16 countries and
every PepsiCo division, convened at the
Global Sustainability Summit in Dallas,
Texas, to share best practices in envi-
ronmental sustainability. The PepsiCo
Green volunteer organization inspires
associates across the globe to set the
standard for environmental sustainabil-
ity by voluntarily raising awareness
andinspiring wider eco-friendly prac-
tices both in the workplace and at home.
From its 2007 launch, PepsiCo Green
has grown virally in the U.S. and glob-
ally, expanding to 19 countries in2010.

Integrate our policies
and actions on human
health, agriculture
and the environment
to make sure that they
support each other.
Human health and environmen-
tal protection are two critical
components of sustainable
development. To ensure that our
eorts in these areas are as
cohesive and productive as pos-
sible, we have begun to develop
aformal policy to coordinate our
human health, agriculture and
environment-related initiatives.
In 2010, we championed a coor-
dinated approach within the
World Economic Forum (WEF)
and, in partnership with some
ofthe world’s foremost thinkers
inthese key areas, called for
governments and corporations
to embrace an integrated
approach to sustainable devel-
opment and nutrition. In 2011
and beyond, we will accelerate
our eorts, engaging our inter-
nal team of experts to create an
integrated framework for com-
pany policies and practices that
can be used to reach our goal
andto serve as a basis for our
Global Nutrition Group.
Please note that this commitment and copy is
the same as commitment 20.
To achieve this, we’re exploring a host of
innovations with our growers, including
i-crop™ “precision farming” technology
(developed with Cambridge University);
new low-carbon fertilizers; a plan to
replace more than 75percent of our
current potato stock with varieties that
give greater yields with less waste and
The Cool Farm Tool software for mea-
suring carbon emissions. As the U.K.’s
largest buyer of potatoes and a major
purchaser of oats and apples, we expect a
significant, positive environmental
impact from these steps. Similar agricul-
tural initiatives are underway on every
continent. In India, for example, we are
teaching contract farmers sustainable
The web-based “precision farming” technology
in the U.K., i-crop™, is designed to help farmers
produce more while using less water.
