PepsiCo’s accomplishments will be recognised at an awards ceremony in Washington (US), on 15 March, which marks the 20th anniversary of Energy Star.
PepsiCo, which has been recognised by the Energy Star program since 2006, will be honoured for its long-term commitment to energy efficiency. After more than a decade, the cumulative effects of PepsiCo’s resource conservation programme have resulted in an improvement in energy efficiency of more than 30%.
PepsiCo avoided the emissions of over 600,000 metric tonnes of greenhouse gasses in 2011, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of over 50,000 American single-family homes and over 115,000 passenger vehicles.
Across the US, top companies and organisations are leading the way toward a more energy-efficient future through participation in Energy Star.
Over the past 20 years, American families and businesses have saved nearly $230bn on utility bills and prevented greenhouse gas emissions equal to those from more than 350 million vehicles with help from Energy Star.
