A LETTER FROM INDRA NOOYI SUSTAINABILITY As I sat down to write my letter for this year’s Sustainability Report, I began reflecting on the meaning of sustainability. It’s been used so often, and in so many contexts, that I wanted to start this year’s report by returning to first principles and defining what sustainability means to me — and all of us at PepsiCo. The root of the word sustain is defined as “cause to continue for an extended period or without interruption.”

Risks to human health from obesity, and noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular illnesses, are rising. Contributing factors may include the nutritional profiles of some food products, high caloric intake, genetics, sedentary lifestyles, limited access to more nutritious options, urbanization and aging populations. At the same time, too many people suffer from some form of undernutrition. United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 3 highlight the need to improve the global diet, increase food security and reduce disease.
