PepsiCo Sets Industry Standard By Establishing the First Consistent Global Approach to Selling Beverages in Schools
17.03.2010 11:12 "Agro Perspectiva" (Kyiv) —
PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP) announced today it is voluntarily adopting a new global policy to stop sales of full-sugar soft drinks to primary and secondary schools by 2012. The industry-leading policy establishes for the first time a consistent global approach to the sale of beverages to schools by a major beverage company.
The policy applies in all countries outside the United States, and is generally consistent with the companys existing U.S. policy, which remains unchanged.
PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi said: «We have long advocated for school settings to be made as conducive as possible to promoting the health of students, and we have programs under way with school authorities in several countries to do that. This includes restoring or expanding physical education and promoting nutrition education. This global policy will serve as an important part of that mission, by expanding our offerings of low-calorie and nutritious beverages.»
Details of the PepsiCo policy were drawn up following discussions with the World Heart Federation in Geneva. The World Heart Federation is the premier nongovernmental organization recognized by the World Health Organization as its leading partner in the prevention and control of cardiovascular disease.
«The World Heart Federation welcomes PepsiCos announcement that it will launch a new policy on stopping the sale of sugary beverages to schools globally,» commented Pekka Puska, President of the World Heart Federation. «The soft drinks industry has voluntarily removed full-calorie carbonated beverages from schools in certain countries. The World Heart Federation has been leading discussions with industry for such a policy at a global level and is pleased that PepsiCo is leading the way within the beverage industry.»
PepsiCo will work with its bottlers, vending companies and third-party distributors in collaboration with parents, community leaders and schools officials around the world to offer low-calorie beverages for primary and secondary schools.
The global school beverage policy continues to advance PepsiCos commitment to reducing calories in schools by offering students a wider range of low-calorie and nutritious beverages in appropriate portions.
PepsiCo worked with the Alliance for a Healthier Generation a joint initiative of the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation and other beverage industry leaders to change the mix of beverages in U.S. schools through voluntary guidelines. The guidelines precluded the sale of full-sugar soft drinks to students in elementary and secondary schools, permitting only low-calorie drinks and portion-controlled juices, sports drinks and waters. In early March, three years after guidelines were announced, it was reported that 98.8% of measured schools were in compliance.
