PepsiCo also has a "Minority and Women Business Enterprises (M/WBEs)" program . This program encourages women and minority owned companies to serve as vendors for PepsiCo's products. The company promotes the utilization of all eligible enterprises owned by women and minorities and they seek out qualified M/WBEs for all of the company requirements. PepsiCo, to respect majority owned businesses, also encourages suppliers to use minority and women vendors, distributors and qualified subcontractors.

The environment is quickly being destroyed by many corporations daily and the company states in many ways how they go about trying to protect the environment and not waste precious resources.

The more the company shows it appreciates its employees, the better their employees will work for them. As for the M/WBEs, I think it is a really good way of making sure there is diversity within the company.
