Sustainable Advantage

Three major sustainable advantages give PepsiCo a competitive edge as we operate in the global marketplace.

Three major sustainable advantages give PepsiCo a competitive edge as we operate in the global marketplace:

1. - Big, muscular brands;
2. - Proven ability to innovate and create differentiated products; and
3. - Powerful go-to-market systems.

Making it all work are our extraordinarily talented and dedicated people.

When we take these competitive advantages and invest in them with dollars generated from top-line growth and cost-saving initiatives, we sustain a value cycle for our shareholders.

In essence, investing in innovation fuels the building of our brands.

This in turn drives top-line growth.

Dollars from that top-line growth are strategically reinvested back into new products and other innovation, along with cost-savings projects.

Thus, the cycle continues.
