"I’m proud PepsiCo has earned a place on CDP’s Climate A List for our leadership in transparency and action. This recognition is particularly meaningful coming out of 2020 and the global challenges we have all faced," said Jim Andrew, Chief Sustainability Officer at PepsiCo. "Through efforts like moving to 100% renewable electricity globally, driving regenerative agriculture and reducing GHG emissions across our value chain, we’re taking steps - and measuring those steps - toward a more sustainable and resilient food system. As we look ahead to 2021, we’re focused on ways we can double down on our efforts and further drive systemic change across our value chain."
