Today we commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. PepsiCo shares his devotion for collective action to build a more open, equal, and united society; where everyone regardless of what we look like, where we come from, or who we love has a voice. By raising our bar on talent and diversity, we tap into new ideas, develop exciting innovation and create more smiles for our consumers, customers and the communities we serve. ​
​
I am proud of our progress and efforts to strengthen and empower Black communities, but I know there is still more we can accomplish. The journey may be long, but as Dr. King reminds us: “…[we must] rise above the narrow confines of our own individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.“ ​
​
With our scale and reach comes responsibility; we each have the opportunity to use the guidance of Dr. King's legacy as our beacon, moving as one toward a goal to effect real, transformative, and positive change.
