PepsiCo’s Ethical Dilemma
PepsiCo’s ethical dilemma related to conflict palm oil.
Palm oil is a key ingredient that goes into the company’s snack foods.
Over the years, the demand for palm oil had increased sharply as it was one of the
cheapest vegetable oils available on the global market with no trans fats.
The rise in demand was linked to large-scale deforestation across South East Asia.
Impact :
Deforestation
Human Rights Violations
Climate Pollution
Adding to global warming emissions
Reducing habitat for many already threatened species
 Analysis

MULTI PRODUCTS DERIVES FROM ONE OIL

Palm oil is in so many products that it’s hard to

avoid. Even if it’s could, palm oil isn’t the main
problem, deforestation is the main problem,
and that will only stop when corporations take
responsibility for the palm oil they buy. Only a
few companies are making significant headway
towards ensuring that there is no deforestation
in their palm oil supply chains, and most are
moving far too slowly.

PepsiCo’s Commitment
The PepsiCo target covers all EU
countries by 2025, targeting all
beverage brands in the company’s
portfolio, including PET bottles,
including Pepsi, Pepsi MAX, 7Up,
Tropicana and Naked. This will apply
to all operations related to PepsiCo’s
beverage production and has also
been accepted by franchise bottlers.

PepsiCo already uses about 13 percent recycled

PET (rPET) in its bottling operations in the EU in
2017.

environment where they operate their business
• Avoid any conflicts and also to provide/deliver their philanthropy to
people
• CSR is also the best way for company to show their concern for
environment that they operate and those people who are affected
their operation
