So that&#8217;s the other aspect of going renewable that is probably very attractive to the company &#8211; cheaper energy and bigger profits.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the primary motivation, when big companies like Pepsico make a decision, others take notice. PepsiCo has also joined the RE100, a Climate Group and CDP initiative bringing together the heavy hitters of the business world committed to 100% renewables. Currently the RE100 has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.there100.org\/re100-members\">more than 250 members<\/a>, with the list featuring many familiar brands. A well-known Australian company that recently joined the initiative is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/suncorp-gas-oil-mb1654\/\">Suncorp<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How Will Pepsico Get To 100% Renewables?<\/h2>\n<p>The company&#8217;s strategy includes Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) supporting the development of new renewable projects, purchase of renewable energy certificates and expanding its onsite wind and solar energy projects.<\/p>\n<p>Among its existing on-site renewables generation are solar panels at Quaker plant in the Netherlands, rooftop solar panels at the company&#8217;s global headquarters in New York (pictured above) and a wind turbine at its Tropicana plant in Belgium.<\/p>\n<h2>Where Is Pepsico Now?<\/h2>\n<p>Pepsico&#8217;s 2019 Sustainability Report isn&#8217;t clear on what percentage of its electricity consumption globally was renewables based last year, but notes it was using 100% renewable electricity in 9 European countries and sourced 65% of its electricity needs from wind energy for Pepsico Foods Mexico last year. Assuming its U.S. operations switch to 100% renewables by the end of this year as committed, PepsiCo says it is on track to source 56% of its electricity through renewable sources globally by the end of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The company says it is also developing a long-term strategy for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. It had reduced absolute greenhouse gas emissions 6% in 2019 against a 2015 baseline, and has a goal of reaching a 20% reduction by 2030. By switching to renewables based electricity across all its operations, there&#8217;s the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 2.5 million metric tonnes by 2040.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US-headquartered multinational food, snack and beverage goliath Pepsico has committed to 100% renewable electricity across its entire operations globally by 2040.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":43408,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pepsico Commits To 100% Renewable Electricity - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Multinational food, snack and beverage goliath Pepsico has committed to 100% renewable electricity across its entire operations by 2040.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/pepsico-renewable-electricity-mb1693\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pepsico Commits To 100% Renewable Electricity\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Multinational food, snack and beverage goliath Pepsico has committed to 100% renewable electricity across its entire operations by 2040.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/pepsico-renewable-electricity-mb1693\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-09-22T20:05:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-08-06T05:46:12+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/pepsico-renewable-energy.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/pepsico-renewable-electricity-mb1693\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/pepsico-renewable-electricity-mb1693\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Pepsico Commits To 100% Renewable Electricity\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-09-22T20:05:32+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-08-06T05:46:12+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/pepsico-renewable-electricity-mb1693\/\"},\"wordCount\":446,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/pepsico-renewable-electricity-mb1693\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/pepsico-renewable-energy.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
