This commitment will support PepsiCo’s humanitarian and business partners on the ground in Japan, providing short- and longer-term assistance to those in the affected areas where the highest needs exist.
“The people of Japan are constantly in our thoughts and the entire PepsiCo family is committed to helping them recover from this terrible tragedy,” said Indra Nooyi, PepsiCo chairman and CEO, and chairman of the PepsiCo Foundation. “The humanitarian and relief organisations on the ground are doing incredibly important work and they deserve our support. PepsiCo’s nearly 300,000 employees around the world are also eager to help, and the company will be matching their contributions dollar for dollar. Our business partners in Japan are equally committed, and we’re partnering with them to provide needed products and assistance.”
PepsiCo will continue to work with Japanese partners following the initial relief phase, and the PepsiCo Foundation has set aside $500,000 to support longer-term rebuilding and recovery efforts.
