PepsiCo Releases 2022 Global DE&I Report: Gender Parity in Management Rises to 44%

The 2022 report reveals PepsiCo is continuing to make progress on its DE&I goals, part of the company's pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) agenda.

Results show women now hold 44% of management roles globally, while U.S. Black and Hispanic representation at manager level increased to 9% and 10.1%, respectively, reflective of the workforce availability of the communities in which PepsiCo operates.

PURCHASE, N.Y., May 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP) today published its most recent Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) Report, illustrating actions that are driving equity and further embedding pep+ into the organization. Key accomplishments include making progress on gender parity in management globally, maintaining pay equity, while supporting historically marginalized communities around the world.
