Gender Parity at PepsiCo
Gender parity is a cornerstone of our robust diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) agenda. Our goal is to achieve 50 percent women in managerial roles by 2025. The key to achieving our goal is supporting employees in building successful and fulfilling careers, while doing our part to support them through different stages of their life and career. The following are a few ways we are supporting our associates:
PROVIDE GREATER FLEXIBILITY THROUGH OUR BENEFITS & POLICIES:
Facilities. In more than half of our locations worldwide with 500 or more employees, we have dedicated mother’s rooms, wellness rooms or alternate space available for nursing mothers.
Policies. We’ve also established policies for associates—in partnership with their manager —to have the flexibility to choose location based on role, work activities and team.
DEVELOPMENT AND RETENTION TRAININGS:
In Latin America, our INSPIRA Talent Development Program helps to build female bench, drive engagement and reduce turnover by offering manager and executive women tools, knowledge and experiences to accelerate their growth.
BUILDING RESILIENT WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES:
Our female-founded Stacy’s Pita Chips brand launched the Rise Project, a program dedicated to helping women grow their businesses through funding, mentorship and community. To date, Stacy’s has invested more than $300,000 to #HelpWomenRise.
AGRICULTURE AND FARMING INITIATIVES:
In partnership with CARE, PepsiCo is supporting She Feeds the World, a program that trains female farmers around the world in everything from increasing crop yield to providing nutrition resources, so they can be successful. When we invest in women farmers, it helps uplift communities and create a more sustainable food system that benefits everyone.
