PepsiCo Foundation

The PepsiCo Foundation upholds the principles that water is life and sanitation is dignity, and we believe all communities should have access to safe water. We focus on bringing safe water access to people in the water-risk communities where PepsiCo operates by investing in water conservation initiatives, improving sanitation through water distribution projects and investing in purification through community-based facilities to make water affordable, reliable and safe. Together with our partners, we’re working to provide safe water access. In honor of World Water Day, you can swipe through the graphics to learn about some of the firsthand impacts we’re making in communities around the world. #WorldWaterDay #PepsiCoProud

Stronger communities start with all of us. When we come together—each lending a hand in our own way—we create lasting impact that extends far beyond today. Whether it’s through volunteerism, local partnerships, or meaningful investments, every effort contributes to a future where opportunity, resilience, and support are available to all. At the PepsiCo Foundation, we believe that real change happens when businesses, nonprofits, and individuals unite to uplift communities. From tackling food insecurity to expanding workforce development programs, we remain committed to creating pathways for people to thrive. Let’s continue building a world where no one is left behind—because when we invest in communities, we invest in a brighter future for all. #BetterTogether

Super Bowl weekend wasn’t just about football—it was about making an impact where it matters most. Through Taste of the NFL 2025, thousands of students gained access to nutritious meals, reinforcing the power of partnerships in addressing food insecurity. Because when kids have the fuel they need, they have the opportunity to reach their full potential. At the PepsiCo Foundation, we believe that fighting hunger goes beyond a single event. It’s about long-term solutions—from supporting school meal programs to strengthening food bank networks, ensuring students have consistent access to the nutrition they need to thrive. The work continues, and so does our commitment to helping contribute toward a future where no child has to learn on an empty stomach. Because when we invest in food security, we invest in brighter futures. #EndStudentHunger #FuelTheFuture

To celebrate International Women’s Day, we’re proud to highlight our She Feeds the World partnership with CARE. As a company rooted in agriculture, PepsiCo knows the crucial role women play in our global food system as nearly half of all agricultural labor in developing countries consists of women. But, many of these women often work without fair land rights or the training and tools they need. That’s where She Feeds the World can help. ? She Feeds the World is currently supporting female farmers in Egypt, Vietnam, Pakistan, Colombia, Thailand and Türkiye by providing access to resources and markets and working to develop skills. As of 2024, over 3.6 million female farmers and members of their communities were reached through these efforts. ? And we’re still building on our progress. After successfully completing our first phase in Egypt, we’re moving to phase two – investing an additional $2 million and increasing our reach to an additional 180,000 people. ? Alongside CARE, we’re proud of the work we’ve done to invest in female farmers and the critical role they play in creating a sustainable, inclusive and regenerative food system.

?? When women farmers thrive, the world thrives. Through the She Feeds the World initiative, we’re helping provide women in agriculture with the resources, training, and market access they need to strengthen food security and drive economic growth in their communities. By investing in women farmers, we’re not just supporting individuals—we’re intending to create ripple effects that nourish families, uplift economies, and combat global hunger. Because when women have the tools to succeed, the impact reaches far beyond the fields. ?? #WomenInAgriculture #FoodSecurity #Empowerment

Nourishing communities, fueling brighter futures.? At PepsiCo, we believe that no child should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from. Through our #FoodForGood initiative, we teamed up with our incredible PepsiCo teams in Buena Park & Rancho Cucamonga to deliver 1,000 weekend meal kits—helping ensure kids have access to nutritious meals beyond the school day. Partnerships like this with the Boys & Girls Club of Buena Park make a real difference, helping give children the nourishment they need to learn, grow, and thrive. Because when communities come together, we can create lasting change. #PepsiCoSocialImpact #FoodForGood #FightingHunger

As ongoing fires cause widespread devastation across Southern California, PepsiCo and the PepsiCo Foundation are working to support communities in need. Throughout the fires, PepsiCo has been in constant contact with our associates and their families, providing key safety updates and ensuring they have access to essential resources. ?
