PepsiCo Diversity@Work

We are committed to hiring and retaining the best people on earth to fill each and every job in the corporation and to treat each other with respect and fostering an atmosphere of caring, open communication and candor among our employees.

PepsiCo has been nationally recognized as one of the top places for women and minorities to work. We were one of the first companies to begin hiring minorities in professional positions, as far back as the 1940s. We were the first Fortune 500 company to have an African-American vice president. That commitment to diversity continues today.

We place a great deal of emphasis on personal integrity and believe long-term results, from real accomplishments, are the only fair way to judge performance.

We respect individual differences in culture, ethnicity and color. PepsiCo is committed to equal opportunity for all employees and applicants. We are committed to providing a workplace free from all forms of discrimination. We respect the right of individuals to achieve professional and personal balance in their lives.

PepsiCo's commitment is underlined by our current diversity initiatives. They have been formulated to ensure that we attain our core value of diversity as a competitive advantage.
