According to our analysis, there are 40 per cent of schools in Pakistan without clean drinking water. Provided the corporate sector takes the lead by using renewable energy resources these can benefit from the supply of additional energy in the national grid made useful for fulfilling such essential needs.
PepsiCo: Delivering Access to Safe Water through PartnershipsSustainable Brands
In 2013, Pepsi announced that by teaming up with partners around the globe, it had provided access to safe water for more than three million people, meeting that goal more than two years ahead of schedule. Since then, it has doubled the original goal, and now intends to provide access to six million people by the end of 2015 through partnerships.
An important part of holistic water stewardship is advocacy through partnership. PepsiCo has formed strategic alliances with organizations including the United Nations Global Compact’s CEO Water Mandate, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development Water Leadership Group, the U.S. Water Alliance, Cambridge University, and many more.
In addition to PepsiCo’s business initiatives in key geographies, collaboration with a portfolio of water partners is instrumental to its progress. By seeking out and leveraging the strengths of its water partners, PepsiCo and the PepsiCo Foundation support and enable creative new strategies that achieve measurable and sustainable progress in the fight to alleviate water insecurity and provide access to safe water.
These initiatives include water conservation, distribution, purification, and hygiene for underserved communities in China, India, Mali, Brazil, Colombia and other Latin American countries. Statements of intent inspire and motivate, but effective action on the ground is where change happens. The greatest resource in this effort centers on key collaborations with a diverse and innovative core of water partners.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

2. As we look at global mega trends,
we know that few challenges are as
significant as the global water crisis.
According to the United Nations,
every day nearly 800 million people
lack access to safe water and more
than two billion people live without
basic sanitation.
At PepsiCo we believe that a responsible business must act
as a global citizen. The ability of a company to flourish long-
term ultimately depends on the health of the communities of
which it is a part and the natural resources on which it relies.
The corporations that win in today’s competitive, resource-
scarce and hyper-transparent world are those that create
real value for society.
As a global food and beverage company, we understand that
access to safe water is fundamental to our business and the
communities where we operate. It impacts both our internal
company operations and our supply chain, much of which is
dependent on water-intense agricultural activities. For us,
the necessity of water stewardship is immediate: there is no
business without water.

Performance with Purpose
“ Water is the fuel to allow our
business, and the communities across
the world of which we are a part, to
flourish. We owe it to ourselves and to
future generations to be responsible
stewards of this limited resource.”
Dan Bena
Sr. Director, Sustainable Development,
PepsiCo
PepsiCo remains steadfastly dedicated to building a profitable
and sustainable 21st century corporation — one that is a good
investment for our shareholders, a good environment for our
employees, a good citizen in our communities and a good
steward of our planet’s resources.
At the heart of PepsiCo is Performance with Purpose — deliv-
ering results in the right way, in a sustained way. In practice,
Performance with Purpose means providing a wide range
of foods and beverages from treats to healthy eats; finding
innovative ways to minimize our impact on the environment
and reduce our operating costs; providing a safe and inclusive
workplace for our employees globally; and doing this by
respecting, supporting and investing in the local communities
where we operate.
A key part of this vision involves holistic water steward-
ship. We respect water as a fundamental human right, and
conserve water and assure its quality in internal operations
and throughout our supply chain, respect shared users of
water within watersheds where we operate and work with
partners to help provide access to safe water to people in
developing countries.
PepsiCo established external, quantitative water goals in
2007, and has worked aggressively to meet them. For example,
in 2012, we announced that we had improved our operational
water use efficiency by more than 20 percent per unit of
production since 2006, meeting our goal four years ahead
of schedule. In addition, in 2012 the Stockholm International
Water Institute awarded PepsiCo the Stockholm Industry Water
Award in recognition of its leadership in water stewardship,
and the U.S. Water Alliance awarded us the U.S. Water Prize.
In 2013, we announced that by teaming up with partners
around the globe, we had provided access to safe water for
more than three million people, meeting that goal more than
two years ahead of schedule. Since then, we have doubled the
original goal, and now intend to provide access to six million
people by the end of 2015 through our partnerships.
An important part of holistic water stewardship is advocacy
through partnership. PepsiCo has formed strategic alliances
with organizations including the United Nations Global
Compact’s CEO Water Mandate, the World Business Council
for Sustainable Development Water Leadership Group, the
U.S. Water Alliance, Cambridge University, and many more.
PepsiCo has long understood the importance of water to the
communities in which we operate. In 2009, we were among
one of the first global companies to publicly recognize water
as a basic human right in the context of the World Health
Organization’s and the United Nations’ Joint Declaration on the
Human Right to Water. The United Nations defines the human
right to water as all people’s right to safe, sufficient, acceptable,
physically accessible and affordable water for personal and
domestic uses.
In addition to PepsiCo’s business initiatives in key geographies,
collaboration with our portfolio of water partners is instrumental
to our progress. By seeking out and leveraging the strengths
of our water partners, PepsiCo and the PepsiCo Foundation
support and enable creative new strategies that achieve
measurable and sustainable progress in the fight to alleviate
water insecurity and provide access to safe water.
These initiatives include water conservation, distribution,
purification and hygiene for underserved communities in
China, India, Mali, Brazil, Colombia and other Latin American
countries. Statements of intent inspire and motivate, but
effective action on the ground is where change happens. Our
greatest resource in this effort centers on key collaborations
with a diverse and innovative core of water partners.

pursued since 2007 to provide underserved communities in
water-stressed regions with access to clean and safe water.
PepsiCo and the PepsiCo Foundation are proud to include
in our portfolio of water partners: the China Women’s
Development Foundation, the Columbia Water Center, the
Inter-American Development Bank, Safe Water Network,
Water.org, and the 2030 Water Resources Group.
Co-creation is critical to impactful partnerships, and PepsiCo
is an active collaborator with our water partners. Each
partner shares with PepsiCo the common goal of sustainable
access to safe water for millions of people. Collectively,
we seek to leverage the individual and unique strengths of
PepsiCo, the PepsiCo Foundation and our partners to drive
innovative, sustainable and comprehensive solutions to the
crisis of water insecurity.

China is a dynamic industrial engine and an emerging leader
in the world economy. However, there is another China, full
of rural communities, often lacking basic infrastructure and
competing for limited resources with its rapidly industrializing
counterpart. Chinese society struggles with the growing pains
of rapid growth and the needs of an enormous population still
living in a world largely untouched by the benefits of China’s
economic transformation.
Access to water for China’s rural poor has been a priority of the
Chinese government since the 1980s. Working with govern-
ment ministries, the China Women’s Development Foundation
(CWDF) launched a program called Water Cellars for Mothers
in 2000.
Depending on the specific needs of a village, school or
household, Water Cellars for Mothers brings access to safe
water through rainwater harvesting or building centralized water
supply systems in target communities in rural central and
western China.
PepsiCo’s involvement with Water Cellars for Mothers began
in 2001 with several grants supporting the project. In 2011, the
PepsiCo Foundation awarded CWDF a $5 million grant, to
establish more systemic support of Water Cellars. With the
support of China’s Ministry of Water Resources, the PepsiCo
Foundation grant is funding safe water access projects for
people in rural villages and primary schools in eight provinces
and municipalities, including Yunnan, Gansu, Guangxi, Sichuan,
Chongqing, Guizhou, Qinghai and Inner Mongolia.
The lack of economic development in many of these commu-
nities is compounded by severe, persistent drought. With
the help of Water Cellars for Mothers, families and villages
are provided the means to efficiently capture and store what
little rainwater there is. Improved rainwater harvesting helps
communities become more resilient to climate change and
other growing environmental problems in the region.
CWDF works as a “platform” to mobilize resources for specific
projects. “Through years of cooperation with the PepsiCo
Foundation, we have been working to develop an effective
model to address social issues in China, by leveraging various
resources and strengths of the government, the private sector
and NGOs. This cooperation model ensures the stability of the
project execution, as well as the long-term impact and social
development,” said Qin Guoying, Secretary-General of CWDF.
CWDF – The Water Cellars for Mothers project, led by the China
Women’s Development Foundation with support from the PepsiCo
Foundation, provides villagers in the Guangxi Province of China
with access to clean water.
CWDF’s Water Cellars
for Mothers:
Providing safe water
in rural China
Action on the ground:
• The PepsiCo Foundation committed $5 million in support
of the China Water Cellars for Mothers program in 2011.
• The grant is the largest individual donation the PepsiCo
Foundation has ever made in China and builds upon
its ongoing support of the CWDF’s “Water Cellars for
Mothers” Project, an award-winning program that has
benefited 1.7 million people.
• By end-of-year 2014, the goal is to provide 17 schools,
including 14,000 students, teachers and school staff with
safe water access.

Shortly after the United Nations established its 2015 Millennium
Development Goals in 2000, Dr. Upmanu Lall and his colleagues
at Columbia University began work researching solutions to the
central issue of water insecurity and access to safe water.
“At that time,” said Lall, “there were quite a few people in
academia who were writing about the impending global water
crises.” An expert in hydrology, systems, resource manage-
ment, climate and risk assessment, Lall recognized the need for
a holistic, systems-based approach to solving the water crisis.
While academic discourse is important to the global body
of knowledge, finding solutions to the water crisis demands
grounding in the field. “To go out and see where there was
manifest water scarcity, what could be done about it, what is
the technology piece, what is the policy piece, and how we
could change things was critical,” said Lall.
With intellectual command and an innovative approach, Lall was
the kind of change-maker PepsiCo was looking for in a water
partner. In 2008, the PepsiCo Foundation awarded a $6 million
grant to the Earth Institute at Columbia University, establishing
the Columbia Water Center, with Dr. Lall as its director.
With the support of the PepsiCo Foundation, Dr. Lall and his
team moved their research “on the ground” to innovate the
holistic approach Lall felt was lacking. By looking at the big
picture, the Columbia Water Center designed integrated
strategies on a wider scale for connecting people with water.
“What we were able to do,” explained Lall, “was to look at the
policy angle on things, look at the operational logic structure
and look at the instrumentation in the field needed to address
the problem from all angles.”
The Columbia Water Center developed software-based strat-
egies and new technologies to improve and consolidate the
practices, policies and systems that were in place. Once tested
and refined, Lall and his team trained governments and NGOs
working on the ground to put these new tactics into action.
“We were able to change the way the reservoirs in northeast
Brazil were being operated using climate forecasts. As a result
of the innovations, they were no longer losing as much water
off the reservoirs due to evaporation or spillage,” explained
Lall. Not only did this new approach vastly improve resource
management, it helped ease conflicting demands on resources,
helping agricultural, industrial and community interests
work together.
The Columbia Water Center focused on ways to engage the
local community to run and maintain these new systems, as well
as trained NGOs and governments how to recognize the best
possible solution based on local policy and available resources.
In all, more than
4.3 millionpeople were directly impacted by Columbia Water Center’s
efforts to improve management of the shared water resources
in Brazil, India, Mali and China

irrigation in Punjab, India threatens the viability of farming. The
Columbia Water Center in partnership with Punjab Agricultural
University’s team is teaching farmers how to reduce their water
usage by 20-30 percent, just by using a simple $6 device.
Action on the ground:
In Brazil
• With support from the Columbia Water Center, residents
in the state of Ceará built sustainable and cost-effective
water delivery infrastructure bringing safe water to more
than 60,000 people. The Agriculture Department of the
State of Ceará adopted the program to develop systems
for other communities in the state.
• The Ceará water allocation project helped the state
better manage the increasing variability around climate.
The project improved safe water access and security for
more than 4 million residents.
In India
• In Punjab, the “breadbasket” of India, irrigation of rice
based on more precise soil moisture measurement
and other water efficiency measures facilitated by the
Columbia Water Center helped farmers save millions of
liters of water and thousands of kilowatt-hours of energy.

Action on the ground:
• Both organizations, PepsiCo and IDB, work together
to jointly promote the human right to water by holisti-
cally enabling access to safe water and sanitation in
the region.
• In 2012 and 2014, we launched pilot projects that
leveraged public/private partnerships to provide access
to water and sanitation for “dispersed low income rural
communities” in Colombia and Mexico.
• We are developing pilot projects to implement
Hydro-BID, a simulation system for water resources
management, to better forecast/manage local water
resources in Brazil and Peru.
The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) created the
AquaFund in 2008 to bring renewed focus to the water and
sanitation needs of millions of people in Latin America and the
Caribbean who lacked access to safe water (34 million) and
sanitation (110 million). The AquaFund is used to fund grants
targeted specifically to water and sanitation, water resource
management, solid waste management and wastewater
treatment. The AquaFund also assists IDB client countries in
coping with the emerging challenges of climate change, the
rapid degradation of freshwater ecosystems and mounting
water insecurity.
In 2011, the PepsiCo Foundation became the first private donor
to the AquaFund with a $5 million grant; all previous contribu-
tions had been made by the IDB and by sovereign governments.
“At the IDB, we believe that finding innovative approaches in
the region that are comprehensive and effective in combating
poverty and promoting equitable growth, and which are
sustainable and competitive, requires the combined efforts
of many actors,” said IDB President Luis Alberto Moreno.
“We work with companies such as PepsiCo that share a vision
and sense of responsibility for meeting the challenges of
continued expansion of access to services and products.”
IDB and the PepsiCo Foundation expect the AquaFund to be
a catalyst for innovative approaches. Its demonstration projects
seek to produce models for the formulation of a large-scale
potable water supply and wastewater management programs
in high-poverty areas. AquaFund will finance the implementa-
tion of demand-driven and service-oriented models providing
scalable and sustainable access to water supply and sanitation
in dispersed rural areas. Additionally, the AquaFund will
finance pilot innovations tools for integrated water resource
management that will improve the quality of these services.
One such project is the Hydro-BID system, which will create a
set of water resource modeling tools to estimate the availability
of freshwater throughout the region and the impacts of this
availability from climate, human activity and other stresses.
“The PepsiCo Foundation’s contribution was a very important
milestone for the IDB,” said Silvia Ortiz Stradtmann, a water and
sanitation specialist working on the technical coordination of
the AquaFund. “Every development bank has a water fund. The
PepsiCo Foundation was the first private sector donor in the IDB
to put money into this type of instrument — this type of partner-
ship is so important for driving sustainable and inclusive growth.”
Financing from the AquaFund, including PepsiCo Foundation’s
contribution, is strategically targeted for high-impact pilot
projects that test innovative solutions and provide technical
assistance, policy and capacity development, knowledge
creation and dissemination, and project preparation.

Action on the ground:
• Safe Water Network was founded in 2006 by then-CEO
of PepsiCo Steve Reinemund, along with Paul Newman
and other civic and business leaders.
• By end of year 2013, Safe Water Network had provided
more than 220,000 people with access to safe water.
• On average, over 90% of Safe Water Stations operate at
or above break-even costs.
Safe Water Network develops and implements market-based
solutions that provide affordable, reliable and safe water
access to rural and decentralized populations throughout
Ghana and India. Through strategic expansions, ongoing
innovation and analysis, knowledge sharing and collaboration,
they are proving that water systems can be owned, operated
and maintained by local communities, and that market-based
models have a strong potential to achieve scale impact.
“Our core focus is on sustainability and scale,” said Amanda
Gimble, Safe Water Network’s Senior Vice President for
Strategic Initiatives. “One of the key issues in safe water access
is the high failure rate of projects. There are lots of efforts—
lots of good intentions, but too many systems fail.”
By the end of 2013, Safe Water Network had worked with
67 communities throughout India and Ghana to build and
maintain Safe Water Stations. Each Safe Water Station
provided affordable, reliable and safe water access to local
residents on a daily basis. The model worked, even on tight
margins. “This is a big deal, creating incentives for communi-
ties to invest in their own water system,” Gimble said. “When
households purchase safe water from our Stations, revenues
are used to pay the local operator and delivery truck drivers,
and build up a reserve for ongoing maintenance of the purifi-
cation system. This is a critical driver of sustainability.”
Since 2008, the PepsiCo Foundation has committed more
than $5 million to Safe Water Network through grants. As with
all of our water partners, the partnership between PepsiCo
and Safe Water Network runs deeper than just a financial
commitment. Former PepsiCo CEO Steve Reinemund was a
founding board member of Safe Water Network, and PepsiCo
associates have been involved with the organization ever since,
serving on the Board, and providing skills-based service and
thought leadership.
“We take a more hands-on approach to corporate engage-
ment,” said Gimble. “This is not just about money. This is about
bringing expertise and applying the knowledge and experi-
ence to everything that we do.” This commitment to corporate
partnership combined with the innovative “bottom-up”
strategies adopted by Safe Water Network offer real hope for
organizations and individuals dedicated to solving the world’s
water crisis.
When combined with demand-driven economic forces within
local communities, charity-based grant money is then more
widely available where it is most effective and needed most.
“Fifteen years ago people thought that those at or near the
base of the pyramid either didn’t have the willingness or the
ability to pay,” said Dan Bena, Senior Director of Sustainable
Development at PepsiCo. “The transition to market-based
models is changing that mind-set, and is an important inno-
vation.” Safe Water Network, and other organizations like
Water.org, prove how market-based models work to achieve
sustainable safe water access. Instead of being beneficiaries
of charity, people near the base of the economic pyramid
living on $2 to $4 per day possess the economic power of
consumers in the marketplace.

Leveraging the power
of the market

Despite the best intentions, efforts to provide sustained access
to water and sanitation — inextricably linked to the provision of
safe water — too often fail.
One reason for this can be a fundamental disconnect between
well-intentioned benefactors and the communities they hope
to impact. While they truly support the cause, they may not tap
into one of the most important economic resources available:
the local community.
Water.org focuses on leveraging the economic potential of
individuals and organizations within target communities. For
example, subsidy-based programs may be the only way to
address the needs of people living in absolute poverty.
But for many others, including those living near the base of
the economic pyramid, the better solution requires tapping
into the capacity of individuals to become agents of their own
change and drivers of their own solutions. Individuals can
use their power as consumers and community stakeholders
to drive sustainable solutions in a way that top-down charity
programs don’t.
“There is this huge population at the base of the pyramid that
has significant economic potential and has the potential to
become customers,” said Water.org co-founder Gary White.
“India is a good example “for a developing world country there
is a relatively high rate of water access, with some level of
water infrastructure already in place,” explained White. “But,
in absolute terms that still leaves more than 100 million people
without a safe water source, so water access is a huge issue
there. How do we help them tap into their power as customers
so that they can join these water systems that are already
there?” he continued.
To answer that question, Water.org created WaterCredit.
Expanded in India in 2008 with help from a $4.1 million grant
from the PepsiCo Foundation, WaterCredit works with select
microlending organizations to provide families the opportunity
to finance the water or sanitation solutions they need most.
Similar challenges exist throughout the developing world.
Unable to afford the up-front cost of basic water infrastructure
and lacking access to traditional financing, millions of people
are trapped in an endless cycle of poverty with few opportuni-
ties to move forward. The cycle is broken through microlending
programs, like WaterCredit, that focus on water access and
sanitation for people in the developing world earning the
equivalent of at least $2 per day. Access to financing makes
it possible for people to become customers and economic
stakeholders in their own communities. As loans are repaid,
the money is reinvested in the community, sustaining and
expanding the reach of initial investment. This results in
communities that are dedicated to, and have the capabilities
required for, solving and managing their own water and
sanitation needs today and in the future.
Action on the ground:
• The PepsiCo Foundation helped Water.org scale
WaterCredit in 2008 with a $4.1 million, three-year grant,
bringing market-based solutions to the water sector.
• A second grant (2011–2016) of $8 million was awarded in
2011 to double the size of India’s WaterCredit portfolio.
• By the end of year 2013, the PepsiCo Foundation-
funded efforts with Water.org directly benefited more
than 700,000 people in India by providing access to
safe water.
• The average global WaterCredit loan is $188; 91 percent
of loan recipients are women; the global repayment rate
for such loans is 99 percent.

Measuring the social value generated by our investments
requires a commitment to objective data collection, with
some data points possibly considered “nontraditional” when
applying a standard business lens. In the case of safe water
access, examples of key performance indicators include:
• How many people have access to safe water as a result of
a specific project?
• Is this access to water sustainable over time?
• How much additional income is provided to those families
that are provided access to safe water?
• How many cases of a specified disease have
been prevented?
The purpose of this measurement effort is to determine
where our investments are helping to achieve the goal of
realizing positive, sustained change in people’s lives, and
where opportunities exist to improve its efficacy. It also aims
to dimensionalize the powerful and complementary “catalytic
effect” that can occur as a result of an initial investment. Some
might refer to this as “callable capital,” meaning that an initial
investment from a single partner, like the PepsiCo Foundation,
can actually stimulate investment from other sources.
To accomplish this goal of thoroughly understanding the
complexity of the return on social investment, the PepsiCo
Foundation partnered with True Impact, a consulting firm
specializing in social impact assessment, to create a set of
standardized reporting and measurement tools that we could
use with our partners to capture and analyze the social,
environmental and business value of our investments in safe
water and sanitation.
Our resulting measurement framework supports both of our
objectives. First, it helps us assess where our investments of
cash and expertise could realize the greatest impact per dollar
spent (including where we could help create new models
or new momentum to catalyze gains beyond our immediate
investments). Second, it helps us gather feedback on the
effectiveness of operational level tactics and strategies, and
where opportunities exist to increase return on investment.
This measurement process reveals the real value of our
commitment—what is achieved, what needs improvement
and how best to spread positive impact through the larger
sector in an ever-widening circle of influence.

At PepsiCo, we appreciate our role as an active, engaged social
investor. Our job is to provide not only funds, but expertise,
guidance and support to our partners in the field. Setting goals
for social change serves as an important motivating force, but
progress must be measured, and true impact assessed.

what works and what needs improvement across this broad
spectrum of projects and partners is essential to the long-term
success of PepsiCo’s water stewardship goals.
We recognize our unique ability to bring together the most
innovative partners in the water sector and our responsibility
to all stakeholders to provide the expertise and methods
for assessing and communicating value, both social and
economic. That “value,” when dissected, can become
increasingly complex, and some components are difficult
to quantify. Some refer to the concept of inputs, outputs and
outcomes, and all are important to understand so that the
aggregate value of a partnership’s impact can be identified
and communicated effectively.

To capture the overall impact of PepsiCo Foundation’s various
safe water investments across the globe, we first developed
an integrated theory of change model to harmonize social-
outcome objectives across our implementation partners.
Then, we developed standardized performance indicators —
including social value generated, cost per outcome and select
process performance metrics — to ensure accountability and
promote continuous improvement for our investment decisions
and among our implementation partners.
We envision expanding this measurement structure, inviting
any safe water access funder or implementer to contribute
to and learn from the successes and failures of the broader
network, to help us all achieve our goals.

The journey continues
Through the dedication of PepsiCo, the PepsiCo Foundation and our partners, we
have reached our original goal of partnering to provide access to safe water to three
million people by 2015 and subsequently doubled our goal to reach an additional
three million people in that time frame. Yet, our journey continues.
No single business, NGO or government can solve the
problems facing the world today. However, each has a
role to play.
PepsiCo continues to work toward our ambitious goals
in the critical area of water sustainability and recognizes
that collaboration — such as the partnership detailed
in this report — is the best path to innovative solutions
and progress.
We believe that the most successful companies are
those who see their success as inextricably linked to the
success of the world around them. That’s why we see
Performance with Purpose as the catalyst for our success.
PepsiCo and the PepsiCo Foundation join with our water
partners in a common objective: to remain steadfast in
the goal of positively impacting the global water crisis.
