"As one of the world's largest food and beverage companies, we have some
distinct responsibilities," said Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo chairman and CEO. "We
have a responsibility to support economic development, to improve our
environmental footprint and to help work toward solutions to issues such as
obesity and undernourishment. This report captures the progress we have made
thus far, and provides a map of where we intend to go."

Based on Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting
Guidelines, the 2008 report remains grounded in PepsiCo's mission of
Performance with Purpose - a balance of achieving continued financial success
while bringing purpose to the company's performance. The report highlights
PepsiCo's three areas of influence - human, environmental and talent
sustainability:

-- Human Sustainability - Nourishing our consumers through the products
we
offer -- from treats to healthy eats -- and through our efforts to
encourage more active lifestyles.
-- Environmental Sustainability - Protecting our natural resources and
operating in a way that minimizes our environmental footprint.

-- Talent Sustainability - Involving and empowering people, helping them
to
realize their potential, renew themselves and achieve success.
