PURCHASE, NY. — PepsiCo., Inc. delivered 79 billion portions of diverse food ingredients, including whole grains, plant-based proteins, fruits and vegetables in 2025, according to its latest ESG report. The total is more than halfway to the company’s goal of delivering 145 billion portions annually in its global convenient foods portfolio by 2030.

The report also noted that PepsiCo exceeded several of its 2025 nutritional goals, including making over 75% of its “convenient foods volume” not exceed 1.3 mg of sodium per calorie and not exceed 1.1 grams of saturated fat per 100 calories.

“Consuming an excess of added sugars, sodium or saturated fat are leading risk factors across the globe for diet-related health conditions,” PepsiCo said. “At the same time, many people around the world are not eating enough nutritious food groups and hence essential nutrients. Although many of our products are not intended to be core elements of the daily diet, we aim to set ambitious nutrition goals that will enable us to offer an array of positive choices, now and for many years to come.”

As far as supply chain progress goes, PepsiCo expanded its regenerative agriculture practices to 4.7 million acres in 2025, up from more than 3.5 million acres in 2024 and on course to reach 10 million by 2030.

PepsiCo also said it improved the livelihoods of approximately 224,000 people in its agricultural supply chains in 2025, up from more than 185,000 in 2024, with the aim to reach 250,000 by 2030.

“We’re excited by the momentum we’re building as pep+ continues to transform our business end to end,” said Jim Andrew, chief sustainability officer of PepsiCo. “We’re making significant progress — from expanding regenerative, restorative and protective practices to 4.7 million acres, reducing emissions of our operations, to evolving our product portfolio to offer more choices — and we’re doing it in ways that we believe will strengthen our business for the long term. While there’s more work ahead, this progress reflects how we’re continuing to take steps to embed sustainability into how we operate, innovate, and grow.”

PepsiCo also highlighted its renewable energy progress from the past year. The company achieved 96% renewable energy in company-owned operations in 2025, inching ever closer to its goal of 100% by 2030.

“Manufacturing and distributing our products require energy, including electricity and fuels like natural gas,” PepsiCo said. “Transitioning to renewable energy is an important part of progress toward our 2030 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals and our 2050 net-zero emissions goal.”
