Supplier CSR Assurance

We have a responsibility to ensure that our suppliers honor and respect the people and environments in which we as partners operate. We use our Supplier Code of Conduct to articulate these priorities, and our Supplier Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Risk Evaluation and Management Program to educate, validate compliance, and facilitate continuous improvements.

As part of our Responsible & Sustainable Sourcing (RSS) strategy at PepsiCo, we are committed to working in partnership with our suppliers to follow a specific code of conduct in the areas of employee labor conditions, health & safety, environmental management and business integrity, all part of our corporate social responsibility (CSR) assurance program. We have updated our policies to simplify communications about PepsiCo's values and how they extend to our supply chain partners.

Additionally, in 2007 PepsiCo joined Sedex (www.sedex.org.uk) as the means for our supplier community to articulate and verify their activity in the areas of employee labor conditions, health & safety, environmental management and business integrity. Sedex is the standard tool we are using to gain visibility into our supply chain regarding these issues in a consistent and reportable manner. PepsiCo is pleased to be working with Sedex and other firms committed to making the assessment process easier for suppliers. We encourage our suppliers to work with these partners, as well, to identify improvement opportunities, and facilitate corrective action plans to drive 'Performance with Purpose' - achieving business and financial success while leaving a positive imprint on society - throughout our supply chain.
