At PepsiCo, our vision is to Be the Global Leader in Convenient Foods and Beverages by Winning with Purpose. To achieve this vision, we recognise that we’ll have to lead the way when it comes to diversity and engagement—not only because it’s the right thing to do, but also because it is the right thing for our business. As part of this commitment, we are working to build a more diverse, inclusive workplace, while promoting what we call “courageous engagement” in our companies and all the communities we serve. In everything we do, we strive to be a company of opportunity, and one that embraces the full spectrum of humanity.
In Australia, PepsiCo has been recognised by the Workplace for Gender Equality Agency for our work on gender diversity and has been accredited the YWCA Auckland Gender Tick for our Bluebird Foods business in New Zealand.
At PepsiCo Australia & New Zealand we believe that an inclusive culture that recognises and values the unique attributes and experiences of every employee is critical to the sustainable growth of our business. That’s why Diversity & Inclusion is a strategic priority for us. Our Diversity & Inclusion strategy is based on valuing all individual differences; including those that are visible and invisible, such as backgrounds, work styles, thought processes and experiences. Diversity brings new perspectives into the workplace and encourages innovation, enabling us to identify new market opportunities.
Increasing the skills of our employees is crucial for business success in a competitive global economy. With the launch of PepsiCo University, we are helping employees develop the job-related skills needed to drive innovation and growth for the future. PepsiCo University offers learning solutions focused on building people skills, managerial skills, and cultural awareness.
The health and safety of our employees is of utmost importance. That’s why PepsiCo Australia & New Zealand is committed to providing the work systems necessary for employees to carry out their work safely as well as meeting and, where appropriate, exceeding applicable Australian and New Zealand health and safety laws and regulations.
