PepsiCo, Inc. scores 34/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places PepsiCo, Inc. joint 407th of 691 companies scored, and joint 38th of 45 in Food & Beverage (non-meat).
PepsiCo reports comprehensive emissions data and leads on water stewardship, but weakened climate targets in May 2025—cutting its 2030 reduction goal from 75% to 50% and pushing net-zero to 2050—signals deteriorating commitment. Plastic reduction targets abandoned. Multiple active greenwashing lawsuits challenge recycling claims.
