PepsiCo, Inc., an American multinational food, snack, and beverage corporation headquartered in Purchase, New York, encompasses all aspects of the food and beverage market. It oversees the manufacturing, distribution, and marketing of its products. Founded in 1965 through the merger of Pepsi-Cola Company and Frito-Lay, Inc., PepsiCo has since expanded beyond its namesake product, Pepsi Cola, to a diverse portfolio of food and beverage brands. Notable acquisitions include Pioneer Foods in 2020 for US$1.7 billion, Quaker Oats Company in 2001, which added Gatorade to the Pepsi portfolio, and Tropicana Products in 1998. As of January 2021, PepsiCo boasts 23 brands with annual sales exceeding US$1 billion. With operations globally and products distributed across over 200 countries, PepsiCo generates annual net revenues exceeding US$70 billion.
PepsiCo, the second-largest food and beverage company globally, behind Nestlé, is known for its flagship product, Pepsi Cola. This iconic cola has been engaged in a long-standing rivalry with Coca-Cola, often referred to as the cola wars. While Coca-Cola dominates the U.S. market, PepsiCo holds the top spot in the North American food and beverage industry by net revenue. Ramon Laguarta has been the CEO of PepsiCo since 2018.
PepsiCo’s beverage distribution and bottling operations are carried out by the company itself and licensed bottlers in specific regions. However, the company has faced criticism from environmentalists for its association with negative environmental impacts in its supply chain and distribution operations. These impacts include deforestation related to palm oil, pesticide use, water resource depletion, and the detrimental effects of its packaging. Notably, Pepsi’s packaging has consistently been a major contributor to global plastic pollution.
Public health advocates have also criticized Pepsi’s product lines, particularly those high in calories and lacking in nutritional value, alongside other popular snack and drink manufacturers. In response, PepsiCo has publicly acknowledged its commitment to minimizing its impact, but has yet to release comprehensive documentation detailing progress on most of its public commitments.
