It’s a challenge that we at PepsiCo embrace, because we recognize that there’s always a bigger picture, a longer time horizon and a broader world in which we operate. Our heritage as a food and beverage powerhouse runs deep. What began with Pepsi-Cola more than a century ago and became PepsiCo with the addition of the Frito-Lay snack business nearly 50 years ago, has transformed into a global, diversified company with more than $65 billion in annual revenue. We are the largest food and beverage business in the United States and one of the largest in the world. If our history and trajectory have taught us one thing, it’s that we have to think in terms of both quarters and generations. Business does not operate in a vacuum — it operates under a license from society. We recognized early that when we transform our business to deliver for our consumers, protect our environment, and invest in our employees — we achieve sustained value. In fact, these actions fuel our financial returns.
