our carbonated soft drink plastic bottles in the United States by 2005. Thanks to
our bottlers, PepsiCo met that goal on schedule.
• Recycle: While beverage containers are the most recycled consumer packaging in
the United States, we recognize that recovery rates need to increase. We helped
found a new organization, the Beverage Product Environmental Council (BPEC), to
increase beverage container recycling rates.
We continue to be careful stewards of our environment in other areas. For
example, Tropicana minimizes waste by using every part of the orange as well as its
by-products after juice is extracted. Frito-Lay recovers starch from potatoes for use
in other industrial and food processes. Similarly, all our businesses are working to
reduce, reuse and recycle throughout the manufacturing process.
In India, through an innovative partnership, PepsiCo has begun working with
Exnora International and the Women’s Self Help Groups, both non-governmental
groups, and the Pammal Municipality on a collaborative venture to establish an
infrastructure to manage household solid waste.
HIV/AIDS
Early in 2005, we announced a global HIV/AIDS policy. In South Africa, we intro-
duced a company-sponsored program that offers full treatment. On World AIDS Day,
our Simba lion mascot helped build awareness. We also focused on other high risk
areas. In China, India, Russia and Thailand, workplace programs are underway build-
ing awareness, increasing prevention and improving access to information and care.
For example, in China we kicked off a hotline to answer questions on HIV/AIDS in a
safe and confidential manner. The hotline also provides information on qualified
treatment facilities. Our business in Thailand was recognized by the Thai
government for its work on HIV/AIDS.
GRI Report is Online
You may have noticed that this year we have not included our Global Reporting
Initiative (GRI) report in this annual report. There are two reasons:
1. The report is increasing in size and complexity and including it in the annual
report was less practical and efficient.
2. The vast quantities of paper required to produce a printed sustainability report
seemed paradoxical. Putting our report online saves approximately 210 tons of
wood from trees.*
This year, we will move to a web-based report. You will be able to find the report and
more information on our activities on our corporate website www.pepsico.com under
the GRI tab. We are reporting on new indicators, including providing our political
and charitable contributions policies with detailed reports on these contributions. We
are also updating our report on HIV/AIDS and other indicators as appropriate.
*Environmental impact estimates were made using Environmental
Defense Paper Calculator. For more information, visit www.papercalculator.org.
