Tema: Pojam ekoloske odrzivosti u kompaniji PepsiCo, Inc.

Profesor: Dr. Natasa Petrovic
Student: Ivan Kostic 349/05

Beograd, jun 2011.
Oblast Ekoloske odrzivosti u PepsiCo kompaniji mozemo podeliti u 4 zasebne celine koje cemo u daljem tekstu i opisati sagledavajuci kako ostvarene tako i planirane ciljeve: * Voda * Zemljiste i pakovanje * Klimatske promene * Zajednice
VODA

* Unaprediti upotrebnu efikasnost koriscenja nase vode po jedinici proizvoda za 20% do 2015. godine.
Efikasnost koriscenja vode je vec dugo fokus u vezi zivotne sredine PepsiCo kompanije. Tokom treceg kvartala 2010. godine, nas globalni biznis u sektoru hrane i pica smanjio je stepen koriscenja vode za 19,5% u odnosu na 2006. godinu. I mi smo na putu da ostvarimo ciljeve nase kompanije za 2015. godinu. Unapredjenjem postrojenja novim tehnologijama je jedan od nasih glavnih nacina postizanja zadatih ciljeva. Na primer, nas Frito-Lay objekat u Casa Grande u Arizoni je snabdeven sa najmodernijom opremom za preciscavanje vode i obogacivanje vode koji moze reciklirati i ponovo koristiti cak do 75% koriscenje vode u proizvodnji. Slicna tehnologija je takodje postavljena u nasim Tingalpa postrojenjima u Australiji, oblasti poznatoj po kriticnoj snabdevenosti vodom. Mi cemo nastaviti da primenjujemo lekcije naucene u jednom postrojenju a delovacemo vodjeni njima u svim ostalim postrojenjima sirom planete. * Teznja za pozitivnim „vodenim“ balansom u nasim projektima u oblastima pogodjenim nestasicom vode.
U 2009. godini, operacije PepsiCo kompanije u Indiji ostvarile su pozitivni balans vode, sto nam omogucava da vratimo drustvu vise vode nego sto smo koristili za proizvodnju nasih proizvoda. Da bismo prosirili taj uspeh na druge oblasti pogodjene nestasicom, pokrenuli smo niz projekata. Na primer, u 2010. godini uspostavili smo saradnju sa „The Nature Conservancy“ organizacijom kako bi razvili nacine za identifikovanje podrucja sa visokim stepenom ugrozenosti na polju snabdevenosti vodom, kako bi mogli fokusirati nasu paznju i resurse za postizanje „pozitivnog neto vodenog uticaja“ u najugrozenijim oblastima u kojima poslujemo. Mi smo izabrali oblasti Kine, Meksika, Evrope, Indije i Amerike za pilot razvoj fleksibilnog i robusnog sistema koji omogucava PepsiCo postrojenjima da okarakterisu njihov vodeni rizik, ali takodje da identifikuju nacine kojim ce povratiti kvalitetnu snabdevenost vodom.

* Obezbediti snabdevanje ispravne vode za 3 miliona ljudi iz zemalja u razvoju do kraja 2015. godine.

Posto je ulozeno vise od 15 miliona dolara od 2005. godine u projekte vezane za vodu, PepsiCo fondacija radi na tome da ublazi nestasice vode u zemljama u razvoju. U stvari, PepsiCo fondacija ocekuje da obezbedi pristup cistoj vodi za milion ljudi do kraja 2011. godine, kao i da poveca taj broj do cak tri miliona do 2015. godine. Vecina obavljenoga se odradila u saradnji sa „Water.org“, „Safe Water.org“, „China Women’s Development Foundation“ i „Earth Institute at Columbia University“. Zajedno, mi pravimo vodne stanice, od vitalnog znacaja za domacinstva i opstinske sisteme. Na nivou sela, sa sredstvima Fondacije, nasi partneri mogu instalirati sisteme za poljoprivredno navodnjavanje, sisteme za takozvano kisno navodnjavanje, izgraditi cisterne i sanitarne sisteme za podrsku programima povecanja higijene.

ZEMLJISTE I PAKOVANJE

* Nastaviti sa industrijskim vodjstvom ukljucivanjem najmanje 10% recikliranog polietilen tereftalata (rPET) u proizvodnju nasih primarnih posuda za pice u SAD i siroko rasprostrani koriscenje istog na kljicnim medjunarodnim trzistima.
Industrijski smo lider u upotrebi biorazgradivih rPET materijala za pakovanja za pica na trzistu SAD. U 2010. godini, nastavili smo da ispunjavamo obaveze ukljucivsi u proseku 10% rPET-a u ampalazu za pica u SAD. Posebno smo ponosni sto je nas brand „Naked Juice“ komercijalizovan kod, 100% kasnije recikliranih, potrosaca plasticnih boca u domacem prehrambenom kanalu. Inovacije su takodje nasa vodilja pa tako i tezimo da nas rPET program sprovodimo na internacionalnom nivou. Na primer, U Francuskoj, tokom treceg kvartala 2010. godine, poceli smo prodaju 1,5 litarske boce proizvoda „Tropicana“ koja je sadrzala 50% rPETA-a. Ovom promenom postigli smo godisnju ustedu smole u iznosu od oko 0,5 miliona kilograma. U 2011. godini, planiramo da prosirimo upotrebu rPET-a u zemljama van SAD za vise od 1,2 miliona kilograma.

* Uspostavljanje partnerstva koja doprinose povecanju koriscenja pakovanja americkih pica za 50% do 2018. godine.

Uspostavljamo nacionalna partnerstva i razvijamo nove tehnologije kako bi reciklazu ucinili laksom i efikasnijom. Prosle godine, pokrenuli smo „Dream Machine“ inicijativu sa organizacijama „Waste Management“, „Greenopolis“ i „Keep America Beautiful“, kako bi promovisali reciklazu svih ambalaza americkih napitaka. sa 38% u 2009. godini na 50% do 2018. godine. Program, koji ukljucuje nagradne punktove podsticaja, podstice sakupljanje ambalaza napitaka na javnim mestima, kao sto su marketi, benzinske pumpe, sportske hale, koledzi, domovi i skole, koriscenjem inteligentnih masina opremljenim skenerima. Sa ovim i drugim naporima, nadamo se da cemo podstaci potrosace da recikliraju i druge organizacije da uspostave ovakve sisteme za reciklazu, jer ne mozemo dostici ovaj cilj sami. Potrebni su nam svi da nam se pridruze, kako industrije tako i potrosaci. * Smanjiti tezinu pakovanja za ukupno 160 miliona kilograma – cime bi izbegli stvaranje deponije velicine 350 hiljada tona do 2012. godine.

Napravili smo znacajan napredak u smanjenju kolicine pakovanja koje koristimo kako bi mnoge nase proizvode dopremili do potrosaca. Na primer, boca „Eco-Fina“-e od 500ml tezi 10,9 grama, koristeci 50% manje plastike nego slicna „Aquafina“ proizvedena 2002. godine. Ova promena nam je pomogla da smanjimo ukupnu kolicinu pakovanja za 47 hiljada tona u 2009. godini, dovevsi nas blizu 30% ucinka naseg, 160 hiljada tona, cilja. Uvereni smo da potezi poput ovih, i drugih inicijativa vezanih za prehrambene proizvode i pica ce nam pomoci da dostignemo nas cilj u 2012. godini.

KLIMATSKE PROMENE

* Eliminisati stvaranje svih deponija cvrstog otpada koja poticu in nasih proizvodnih objekata.

Sirom naseg biznisa sa grickalicama u SAD i UK, napravili smo znacajan napredak u postizanju cilja, da uopste ne saljemo otpad na deponije. U 2009.godini, PepsiCo generisali smo kolicinu od 984.000 tona cvrstog otpada iz nase globalne proizvodnje. Od tog broja 17% je odpremljeno na deponije, a 82% je reciklirano za korisne svrhe. Trenutno, devet engleskih PepsiCo proizvodnih pogona je poslalo 0% otpada na deponije. U 2010. godini, 13 severnoamerickih „Frito-Lay“ pogona rezultiralo je sa prosecno 1% odpremljeog otpada na deponije. U 2011. godini ocekujemo da ce 20 severnoamerickih „Frito-Lay“ pogona dostici taj procenat, a verujemo da ce 10 pogona isporuciti 0% cvrstog otpada na deponije do kraja godine. Sada uvodimo planove smanjenja otpada u mnogim nasim objektima sirom sveta kako bi sto bolje napredovali.

* Poboljsati korisnost elektropotrosnje za 20% po jedinici proizvoda do 2015. godine.

Postizemo solidne rezultate upotrebom najboljih praksi u nasoj celoj proizvodnoj mrezi kako bi poboljsali korisnost elektropotrosnje. Na nasoj globalnoj proizvodnji hrane i pica registrovali smo poboljsanje za 9% u trecem kvartalu u odnosu na 2006. godinu i na putu smo da ostvarimo nas cilja za 2015. godinu. Ovo poboljsanje iskoriscenosti elektropotrosnje je postignuto kroz brojne svetlosne ustede, kompresovani vazduh i efikasnost elektromotora u svim projektima PepsiCo postrojenja. Ova smanjenja u koriscenju elektroenergije pomogla su da „Frito-Lay“ dobije dodatnih 6 „LEED“ odlikovanja za „Existing Buildings Gold Certifications“ u 2010. godini u americkom „Green Building Council Leadership in Energy Enviromental Design“. Proizvodni pogoni „The Perry“, Gruzija; „Topeka“, Kansas; „Modesto“, Kalifornija; „Beloit“, Viskonsin; „Jonesboro“, Arkanzas i „Killingly“, Konektikat pridruzili su se „Casa Grande“ pogonu u 2010. godini.

* Smanjiti intenzite potrosnje goriva za 25% po jedinici proizvodnje do 2015.

Intenzitet koriscenja goriva za nase globalne proizvodne operacije za hranu i pice smanjen je za vise od 12% od treceg kvartala 2010. godine poredeci se sa 2006. godinom. Nas progres je rezultat mnogobrojnih inovacija u postrojenjima sirom sveta. U 201. godini, prosirili smo upotrebu nasih visoko efikasnih toplotnih regulatora na proizvodne pogone u Engleskoj, Portugalu, Spaniji i Indiji. Ovi uredjaji, koji su testirani u Australiji i Rusiji, znacajno poboljsavaju prenos toplote i ponovno koriscenje vec koriscene na linijama za proizvodnju krompir cipsa. „Topeka“, „Frito-Lay“-ovo postrojenje u Kanzasu je smanjilo koriscenje prirodnog gasa po kili proizvoda za 40% od 1999. godine instaliranjem novih tehnologija, ukljucujuci visoko efikasne rerne i visoko efikasne kotlove za biomasu. Pored ovih i drugih tehnologija, nasi programi za ocuvanje resursa predstavljaju kamen temeljac za nase proizvodne pogone da smanje upotrebu energenata i drze nas na putu da ostvarimo nase ciljeve za 2015. godinu.

* Obavezati se da se smanji intezitet efekta staklene baste (GHG) u americkim postrojenjima za 25% kroz nase partnerstvo sa americkiom Agencijom za zastitu zivotne sredine u sklopu programa „Climate Leaders“.

Napravili smo znacajan napredak implementirajuci nas novi rigorozni okvir za ocuvanje zivotne sredine i na dobrom smo putu da ostvarimo nas planirani intezitet efekta staklene baste. Prelazak „Frito-Lay“-a u stedise goriva prouzrokovalo je znacajna ulaganja u elektricni pogon komercijalnih kamiona. U 2010. godini, 13 dostavnih kamiona sa elektricnim pogonom zapoceli su svoj radni vek u SAD i Kanadi, a jos 163 je planirano u 2011. godini. Verujemo da ce „Frito-Lay“ biti najveci operater sa sopstvenim voznim parkom na elektricni pogon u Severnoj Americi. Procenjuje se da ovi kamioni stvaraju 75% manji efekat staklene baste od konvencionalnih dizel kamiona i da ce umanjiti potrebu za 500.000 galona goriva godisnje.

* Obavezati se da se emisija gasova koji izazivaju efekat staklene baste izrazito smanji na polju globalnog poslovanja.

Napredujemo na polju smanjenja emisije gasova u nasim kako proizvodnim postrojenjima tako i transportnim sistemima na globalnom nivou. U Juznoj Americi, na primer, „Green Stamp“ program optimizuje efikasnost vozila kroz preventivno odrzavanje i konstantne inspekcije, kao i kroz smernice za poboljsanje efikasnosti potrosnje goriva po vozacima kamiona i prodavcima. Do danas, priblizno 80% voznog parka PepsiCo kompanije u Peruu, Ekvadoru, Cileu, Kolumbiji, Argentini i Venecueli ucestvovalo je u dosadasnjim, kao i u planovima za buduce programe. U Sad i Kanadi, novi „Enterprise Transportation Management System“ doprineo je boljoj produktivnosti kao i smanjenju troskova.

ZAJEDNICE

* Uvesti vec oprobane poljoprivredne prakse na nasim poljima za proizvodnju.

Tokom godina, posveceni smo bili odrzivim Poljoprivrednim praksama. U 2009. godini, pokrenuli smo sopstvenu Globalno Odrzivu Poljoprivrednu Politiku, dizajniranu da nas sve ohrabri, kao i nase uzgajivace, da rade na nacin koji stiti i neguje zemljista i zajednice. Na primer, komunicirali smo sa uzgajivacima da proveravaju da li alternativna djubriva mogu znacajno doprineti smanjenu kolicinu ugljenicnih vlakana u proizvodnji pomorandzi. Ako budu du uspesna, ovakva djubriva mogu da smanje globalnu kolicinu ugljenicnih vlakana na „Tropicana Pure Premium“ za 15%. Mi takodje radimo Ми такође радимо na projektu uspostavljanja prvog sertifikata za odrzivost za nase globalne dobavljace. U 2011. godini, program ce biti isproban u SAD, a zatim i u celom svetu. Ukljucivanjem industrijskih konkurenata u razvoju ovog procesa, nadamo se da cemo uspostaviti standard za sve potrosacke robne marke i njihove kompanije koje ce tom sertifikacijom doprineti boljoj kontroli koriscenja vode i energije, ocuvanja zemljista, hranljivih materija i pesticida.

* Obezbediti finansiranje, tehnicku podrsku i obuke lokalnim farmerima.

PepsiCo daje podrsku na globalnom nivou lokalnim farmerima kroz finansiranje i obuku. U 2010. godini, zajedno sa 350 britanskih poljoprivrednika, PepsiCo je pokrenuo vazne inicijative u pogledu smanjenja emisije ugljenika i koriscenja vode za 50% u proteklih 5 godina. Kako bi ovo postigli, uspostavljamo raznorazne inovacije sa nasim proizvodjacima, ukljucujuci i „i-cropTM precission farming“ tehnologiju (razvijenu na Kembridz Univerzitetu) i nove nisko-ugnljenicna djubriva. To je plan koji bi zamenio 75% nasih dosadasnjih zaliha krompira sa novim sortama koje ce davati veci prinocs sa manje otpada. Takodje uvodimo i softver „Top Cool Farm Tool“ za merenje nivoa emisije ugljenika. Kao najveci britanski otkupci krompira i velikih kolicina ovsa i jabuke, ocekujemo znacajne rezultate i pozitivne uticaje na zivotnu sredinu. Slicne poljoprivredne inicijative se preduzimaju na svakom kontinentu. U Indiji, na primer, obucavamo poljoprivrednike sa kojima smo pod ugovorom odrzivim poljoprivrednim praksama i pomazemo 12000 poljoprivrednika da dobiju kredite preko Drzavne Banke Indije.

* Promovisemo obrazovanje o zivotnoj sredini i najbolje primere iz prakse sa nasim saradnicima i poslovnim partnerima.

Pokrenuli smo niz inicijativa sa saradnicima i partnerima na ubrzanju procesa odrzivosti zivotne sredine kroz obrazovanje. U aprilu 2010. godine, vise od 700 saradnika, dobavljaca i prodavaca, ukljucujuci i predstavnike 16 zemalja iz svake PepsiCo oblasti, sazvali smo Globalni samit Odrzivosti u Dalasu, kako bi razmenili iskustva u oblasti odrzivosti zivotne sredine. PepsiCo „Green volunteer“ organizacija ispirise saradnike sirom sveta da usklade standarde odrzivosti zivotne sredine volonterskim podizanjem svesti i podsticanjem ekoloske brige kako na poslu tako i kod kuce. Od svog osnivanja 2007. godine, PepsiCo „Green volunteer“ organizacija je porasla enormno u SAD i na globalnom nivou, prosirivsi se na 19 zemalja u 2010. godini.

* Integracija nase politike i aktivnosti o ljudskom zdravstvu, poljoprivredi i zivotnoj sredini da biste se uverili da jedna drugu podrzavaju.

Zdravlje ljudi i zivotna sredina dve su najkriticnije komponente odrzivog razvoja. Da bi osigurali da nasi napori budu produktivni u ovim oblastima, poceli smo da razvijamo formalnu politiku pracenja ljudskog zdravlja, poljoprivrede i zivotne sredine. U 2010. godini, prikazali smo nas pristup na „World Economic Forum (WEF)“ i, u saradnji sa vodecim svetskim misliocima iz ovih kljucnih oblasti, pozvali smo vlade i korporacije da prihvate integrisani pristup odrzivog razvoja i ishrane. U 2011. godini i na dalje, podstaci cemo nase napore, ukljucujuci nase interne timove strucnjaka da kreiraju integrisana pravila za politike preduzeca i prakse koje mogu koristiti za dostizanje naseg cilja, kao i da posluze kao osnova za nasu „Global Nutrition“ grupaciju.

Reasons Why Poor and Fat Go Hand in Hand

...Reasons Why Poor and Fat Go Hand In Hand | | | | | Being fat or plump used to be a sign of health and prosperity. If you look at pictures taken during the era of The Great Depression, you can see clear as day that the poor people in line at the soup kitchens were thin as tooth picks while the well-off crowd was pleasantly plump. Today however, that trend has reversed itself. Pictures of terribly obese people at Wal-Mart paying for their groceries with food stamps are now the norm while the better off crowd are skinny and svelte looking. There are many theories as to why this has happened and in the book, Omnivore’s Dilemma, Pollan reasons that is because the cost per calorie has become exceedingly cheap. Simply put, it is cheaper to eat non-healthy items and pack on the weight in the process, or in other words, it is cheaper to be fat. Some make the argument that lack of education in the poor communities is the main culprit of poor obesity. The argument states that poor people just do not have the education necessary to know what and what not to eat. This may have some validity in it, which I will address later, but it does not change the fact that, as stated by Pollan in The Omnivore’s Dilemma: “that a dollar could buy 1,200 calories of potato chips and cookies; spent on a whole food like carrots, the same dollar buys only 250 calories. On the beverage aisle, you can buy 875 calories of soda for a dollar, or 170 calories of fruit juice from concentrate...

Strategic Marketing & Planning, 2009 Fiji Water

...Strategic Marketing & Planning, 2009 Fiji Water Executive Summary: There are multiple recent strategic issues that the bottled water company Fiji Water is facing. The economic recession has led to a change in consumer purchasing trends, and the bottled water category is not as stable financially as it used to be. Environmental issues, such as waste and pollution, are also affected Fiji Water and its competitors. Bottled Water companies are attempting to shift packaging and shipping to more ecologically friendly materials and modes, as consumers favor environmentally sustainable products. Additionally, as consumers focus on obtaining healthier lifestyles and diets, they have begun to question the safety and purity of the water that bottled water companies are producing. Fiji Water has been affected greatly by all of these issues, as well as negative press about the socio-economic conditions of their souring location, and in 2008 was forced to layoff 40% of their staffing resources. With limited resources, an action plan going forward must be cost efficient and extremely effective. By analyzing and critiquing four potential strategic options, a rational next step for Fiji Water can be discovered. By supporting this plan with marketing tactics and communication, it can attempt to stimulate growth for the company.

Mosquito Trap

...biting mosquitoes is to use a mosquito trap. When set up properly, just one or two of these ingenious devices can kill thousands of mosquitoes and all but wipe out a local population. The style of trap varies by brand, but generally they range from indoor units the size of air purifiers to large units that resemble barbecue grills. Some run on electricity, while others are powered by propane tanks. You can easily reduce the number of mosquitoes on your property with a plastic bottle trap that will attract and kill the mosquitoes. The liquid in each trap will last about two weeks, and then, it can be easily replaced. For increased effectiveness, place multiple traps around your house or property. Procedure Used Get a large 2 liter Coke/Pepsi/Fanta, etc plastic soda bottle. This is the kind that takes a couple of hands to hold onto. Empty the bottle by drinking or draining. Take the cap off and throw away. Just below the point where the neck of the bottle straightens out onto the body of the bottle, cut it across. So now you have a funnel and a cylinder. Invert the funnel into the cylinder. It should fit snugly. A piece of tape will seal it, but may not be necessary.

The Link Between Competitive Advantage & Corporate Social Responsibility

...The Link Between Competitive Advantage & Corporate Social Responsibility | Business and Society | | There is currently growing interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) among both companies and managers. It has become an important topic of theoretical concentration and one of the most widely accepted business concepts. The major issues in the field of CSR concern stakeholder analysis and corporate strategic management. Numerous attempts have been made to link CSR and financial performance. While the debate over CSR continues, it reveals that some additional research can be done on the link between CSR and competitive advantage (CA). CSR is understood to be the way firms integrate social, environmental, and economic concerns into their values, culture, decision making, strategy, and operations in a transparent and accountable manner (Berger, 2007). Thereby firms establish better practices within, create wealth, and improve society (Berger, 2007).

Globalization has increased contacts between people and their values, ideas and ways of life in unprecedented ways. People are travelling more frequently and more widely.

American coffeehouse chain Starbucks has begun selling its espresso and food items to ever-increasing number of countries and this way spreading American food habits. It is the first time in human history that virtually every individual at every level of society consciously or unconsciously...
