PepsiCo

PepsiCo is one of the largest multinational food and beverage corporations in the world, known for household brands like Pepsi, Lay’s, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, and Doritos. Founded in 1965, the company has built a global empire by dominating the snack and soft drink sectors. While its products are widely consumed and culturally embedded, PepsiCo has long faced criticism over issues such as the nutritional quality of its offerings, aggressive marketing strategies—especially toward children—and its role in the global obesity crisis. Despite efforts to expand into healthier product lines, a large portion of its revenue still comes from high-sugar, high-salt items. PepsiCo also promotes itself as a sustainability leader, but its environmental record has often been called into question. It remains one of the world’s top plastic polluters, and its use of water in drought-prone regions has sparked community pushback. While the company has launched various green initiatives and pledged to cut emissions, critics argue that many of these commitments lack transparency and meaningful accountability. PepsiCo’s immense influence in the food and beverage market comes with a responsibility that many believe it has yet to fully embrace. Background - www.facebook.com/PepsiCo
