and instead storing juice
blends in aseptic tanks at
above freezing temperatures.
The operation also co-gener-
ates power and heat to meet
most of our on-site electricity
needs. Three of our Gatorade
plants capture and reuse
biogas, a by-product of water
treatment operations, as
boiler fuel.
One way we are reducing
greenhouse gas emissions is
by using alternative power
more and more. For example,
in Cupar, Scotland, our Quaker
oat mill is using electricity
from 100% renewable sources.
And at our Frito-Lay plant in
Modesto, California, we’re
building a production line in
which nearly three-quarters
of the heat needed to
produce SunChips brand
multigrain snacks will come
from solar thermal energy.
Our focus extends to the
pages you are reading. This
annual report was made with
recycled paper and “Green
Power,” which means that the
power used in the creation of
some of the paper was not
from fossil fuel.
HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS poses a major threat
in many places where we
operate, especially in high
risk countries such as South
Africa, India, Russia, China
and Thailand. Our global
HIV/AIDS policy provides a
template to help fight the
pandemic, and our associates
have joined in the fight. For
example, in South Africa our
Simba associates serve as Peer
Educators in the community.
Contributions and
Community Service
Through the PepsiCo
Foundation, and our corporate
and divisional contributions,
we provide financial support
for not-for-profit organizations
across the globe. Focus areas
include health and wellness,
diversity and inclusion, the
environment, employee
community engagement and
humanitarian aid in the event
of disaster. Groups looking for
support can apply on-line at
www.pepsico.com.
In-kind donations include
food and beverages donated
to food banks. Our commu-
nity outreach programs
include community service
weeks. During our 2006
Global Week of Community
Service, more than 1,000
associates provided volunteer
work in their communities in
the United States, Mexico and
South Africa. In Mexico City,
for example, Sabritas associ-
ates repaired the “Casa de los
Niños de Palo Solo,” a health
development center serving
approximately 260 children.
Our associates are active in
their communities in innova-
tive ways. In Brazil, an Elma
Chips truck has been turned
into a roving library for
children. In Vietnam, through
the Poor Patient’s Association,
our associates help economi-
cally disadvantaged people
receive medical care. In Egypt
and Lebanon, our businesses
support scholarships to help
young people continue
their education.
In India, we’re promoting
seaweed farming as a local
employment opportunity for
women in remote coastal
communities, who would
otherwise have to travel
great distances to find work.
PepsiCo water programs reach into communities to help address water
shortages. In India, programs are bringing water to drought stricken
areas and developing water management programs in areas where
monsoons are common.
