PepsiCo wins the 2012 Stockholm Industry Water Award
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Business
The Stockholm Industry Water Award jury recognised PepsiCo's efforts to increase water efficiency. The company conserved nearly 16 billion litres of water in 2011, from a 2006 baseline, through the application of water saving equipment and technologies, creative recycling and re-use, and by deploying a water management system throughout its manufacturing facilities.
-PepsiCo has set and achieved a high standard for its own operations, and has demonstrated that responsible water use makes good business sense, the jury said.
PepsiCo's water commitment has not stopped at the factory walls. By assisting farmers in growing more water efficient crops, implementing better agricultural practices and irrigation techniques, and by supporting watershed management initiatives, PepsiCo has saved water all along its agricultural supply chain. In 2009, PepsiCo was among the first large companies in the world to recognise and to formally adopt the human right to water. The company has established numerous public-private partnerships and collaborations, which have increased access to safe water and sanitation services around the globe.
