Abstract:

This case was a Runner-up in the 2012 oikos Global Case Writing Competition (Corporate Sustainability track). It is about the sustainable development initiatives of one of the world's leading food and beverage companies, PepsiCo.

Faced with various criticisms on the social and environmental fronts, PepsiCo adopted the ‘Performance with Purpose’ strategy in 2009 under the leadership of its CEO Indra Nooyi (Nooyi). This strategy was based upon the philosophy that the company’s financial performance should go hand in hand with its responsibilities toward society and the environment.

The new sustainable development program contained 47 commitments that PepsiCo made toward society and these were divided into four broad areas: Performance, Human Sustainability, Environmental Sustainability, and Talent Sustainability. Despite some progress made by the company in these fronts, since mid-2011, Nooyi had come under fire from key stakeholders such as shareholders and bottlers who contended that her focus on 'Performance with Purpose' had come at the cost of positioning of the company's products and had hurt sales. They felt that its archrival, the Coca Cola Company had gained the upper hand during Nooyi's tenure. This case is meant for MBA/MS-level students as part of the Business Ethics/Corporate Social Responsibility curriculum. It can also be used in a core strategy curriculum.
