The annual program rebrands some of the company's highly visible delivery trucks with the names and faces of She is PepsiCo honorees. Featuring photos of these employees in their work settings, in place of the company's brands, is at the heart of how the global campaign aims to celebrate and empower women. She is PepsiCo Campaign Expands to Global Markets and Spotlights Females Succeeding in Frontline Careers A 2023 Gartner survey showed that women made up 41% of the total supply chain workforce, up from 39% in 2022. However, the same survey also found that when you look specifically at frontline representation in the supply chain workforce, women filled just 31% of these roles.1 Women account for about half of the U.S. labor force, but represent less than one-third of the manufacturing workforce.2 PepsiCo recognizes the importance of women seeing the opportunities available to them. The She is PepsiCo campaign demonstrates how women can build and grow a meaningful frontline career at PepsiCo supported by the tools and culture to nurture their continued development. "Getting more women to apply for frontline roles isn't just beneficial for the employees, their families and the communities where we operate — it's also important to our business," said Becky Schmitt, Chief Human Resource Officer, PepsiCo. "PepsiCo wants women to clearly see the career opportunities that are available to them and hear from the women who are thriving in frontline careers, and beyond. We hope people who see these trucks in markets around the world will be inspired to apply for a role at PepsiCo." More than two dozen women across the United States and Canada are 2024 She is PepsiCo honorees. The women being recognized work as truck drivers, mechanics, merchandisers, and warehouse loaders, among other frontline roles. Each of the women will be honored at local truck-unveiling events, where they will see their name and photo on a PepsiCo truck that will roll through their community. "This is the third year we're honoring PBNA's exemplary frontline women through She is PepsiCo and I'm always moved by the individual career journeys of the honorees and the important role they each play in our business — making, moving and selling our products," said Andrea Ferrara, Chief Human Resource Officer, PepsiCo Beverages North America (PBNA). "Our business truly relies on excellence in these frontline roles. I am proud that PBNA creates these unique moments of recognition to help drive belonging for all our employees, making a large company feel small."
