In February 2023, PepsiCo signed an MoU with the National Transportation Solutions Company to jointly launch the first electric commercial truck pilot program in Saudi Arabia. In its Riyadh snacks factory, PepsiCo replenished 100% of the water consumed in the production process and put it back into the local watershed in 2022. This accounted for 65% of the entire country’s water usage in the snacks industry. In September 2022, PepsiCo partnered with Prince Sultan University to educate students on sustainability, enabling students to explore in detail the issue of plastic waste and the benefits of the circular economy.
