March 11 2010 - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded PepsiCo a 2010 ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award in recognition of its dedication to achieve energy efficiency.
The 2010 Sustained Excellence Awards are given to organizations that have exhibited outstanding leadership in energy conservation. These awards recognize ongoing leadership across the ENERGY STAR program including energy-efficient products, services, new homes and buildings in the commercial, industrial and public sectors. Award winners are selected from more than 17,000 organizations that participate in the ENERGY STAR program.
In May 2008, PepsiCo introduced new Sustainable Engineering Guidelines that apply to all new construction and major reengineering projects worldwide. PepsiCo also sponsored a program that encouraged more than 90 PepsiCo suppliers to join ENERGY STAR and focus on improving energy efficiency.
"This award honors the commitment of PepsiCo personnel everywhere who drive the improvement in energy efficiency across all of our operations," said Rob Schasel, Director of Energy & Utilities at PepsiCo. "As a company, we look for simple and innovative ways to drive sustainability through our business -- from finding the most efficient way to light our buildings to deploying alternative energy supplies for our operations. We view our ENERGY STAR partnership as an important way to address climate change."
PepsiCo's accomplishments will be recognized at an awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. on March 18, 2010.
