NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 5, 2024 / In celebration of World Environment Day, PepsiCo and Frito-Lay are proud to highlight dedicated employees who took action in their own backyard alongside California Climate Action Corps and City Plants, a grassroots organization local to Los Angeles.
The ultimate goal of the collaboration was to make a sustainable impact in the South LA community – an area impacted by high carbon emissions and low green canopy cover. PepsiCo volunteers from across the entire organization stretched their green thumbs and rejuvenated an eight-block corridor along Slauson Avenue, planting and distributing 100 trees and plants.
California has long been a critical hub for PepsiCo’s North American food and beverage business operations. As PepsiCo enters its third year of pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) – a transformation of its business, with the planet and people at the center – the company remains focused on creating positive change in the neighborhoods that employees call home.
