Why did PepsiCo decide to calculate the carbon footprint of Walkers Crisps?
PepsiCo is committed to becoming a more environmentally sustainable company and reducing its carbon footprint. Calculating the lifecycle carbon footprint of our products allows us to determine where in the supply chain we need to target our efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Walkers is our biggest brand, which is why it was the first to be footprinted. In 2007, Walkers became the first consumer brand in the world to launch the Carbon Trust’s Carbon Reduction Label. Since then, we’ve also calculated the carbon footprint of Quaker Oats, Oatso Simple Original and Oatso Simple Golden Syrup.
