In this episode, I sit down with the Chief Medical Officer and SVP of R&D Life Sciences at PepsiCo to discuss the company's focus on improving the nutritional profile of its portfolio for the lives they touch every day.
As a large global business, PepsiCo is acutely aware of the opportunity they
have to offer positive choices for the individuals who enjoy their products. With rising rates of chronic conditions like diabetes and obesity, the CMO explains how PepsiCo is taking a proactive approach to nutrition. PepsiCo is making a concerted effort to provide more nutritious food and beverage options that still capture the cultural and regional flavors people love.
We explore how PepsiCo is balancing consumer preferences with the need for healthier products. The CMO shares insights into PepsiCo's product innovation process and their focus on maintaining the taste and experience that individuals expect, while gradually improving the nutritional profile.
This conversation underscores the role that large corporations can play in driving improvements to their suite of products to help improve public health. Companies like PepsiCo have a tremendous opportunity - and obligation - to positively impact the lives of millions around the world.
PepsiCo is demonstrating how businesses can be a true force for good, advancing positive strategies and supporting communities globally.
