PepsiCo updates 2025 ESG reporting tied to its pep+ sustainability goals

The company published a new 2025 ESG Summary alongside updated ESG topic pages and refreshed metrics methodology, laying out how it says it is progressing on its pep+ targets.

3 min readEditor-approved Apex article

PepsiCo said it has released its latest ESG package aimed at tracking progress toward its pep+ sustainability goals, publishing a 2025 ESG Summary and accompanying web materials. The update also includes an updated “Leadership Message,” plus expanded or refreshed ESG topic pages organized from A to Z, and a set of 2025 ESG performance metrics with a stated calculation methodology.

According to the company’s announcement carried by Yahoo Finance, the 2025 reporting materials are designed to provide a clearer view of how PepsiCo interprets its ESG targets and how it measures progress from year to year. The package includes not only the summary narrative, but also the metrics themselves and an explanation of how they are calculated.

Pep+ is PepsiCo’s sustainability strategy, and it serves as the framework for how the company groups and reports its environmental, social, and governance priorities. By pairing its topline summary with topic-by-topic pages and measurement methodology, PepsiCo is effectively trying to make its reporting more auditable for stakeholders who want to see how headline figures are derived.

The update comes as ESG reporting increasingly focuses on consistency and comparability, including how organizations define scope, boundaries, and accounting methods for emissions, water use, and other performance indicators. PepsiCo’s decision to publish or refresh a calculation methodology section suggests the company is emphasizing measurement transparency as part of its annual ESG communications.

What PepsiCo did not disclose in the announcement itself is the specific substance of the metrics or any quantified results. The post described the publication of the 2025 ESG performance metrics and the methodology, but it did not provide the underlying figures in the headline-level coverage.

The company also did not provide, in the available coverage, details on any changes versus prior years, such as whether the methodology was revised, which new metrics were added, or whether historical numbers are being restated. Those particulars would typically be found in the methodology document or in the topic-specific pages referenced in the announcement.

For investors and customers, these kinds of reporting updates matter mostly because they can affect how PepsiCo is evaluated by ESG-focused analysts and ratings providers. Even absent new disclosures of raw performance in the announcement itself, the act of publishing metrics and calculation methods can shape how stakeholders interpret trend lines and the credibility of the underlying data.

Looking ahead, the next announcement to watch will be whether PepsiCo continues to update its pep+ progress reporting in a way that improves comparability across years, and whether the company’s methodology documentation indicates any changes that could influence how metrics are interpreted. Stakeholders may also look for ongoing updates to the topic pages as the company refines how it describes progress across its ESG priorities.

Why It Matters

  • Reporting transparency can influence how PepsiCo’s ESG progress is assessed by ratings providers and ESG analysts.
  • Publishing calculation methodology can improve stakeholders’ ability to understand what is being measured and how results are derived.
  • Topic-level pages can make it easier for stakeholders to compare specific ESG areas rather than relying on a single summary narrative.
  • Even without new figures in the announcement, updates to metrics presentation can affect perceived trend consistency over time.
