"At PepsiCo, we have known for a long time that diversity and inclusion is not just the right thing to do, it also makes good business sense. One of our core values is “Winning with Diversity and Inclusion”. We know that having a mix of people with different backgrounds, styles and approaches, gives us a competitive edge. It’s one of the reasons our company has continued to experience success, year after year. "Increasingly, organisations are realizing that their ability to attract and retain talent is critical to their business success. Since women are at least 50% of the talent pool and at least 50% of the market, any organisation that is serious about securing the brightest and best talent, as we are at PepsiCo ANZ, must give consideration to its ability to attract and retain female talent. While there are important gender differences, men and women want many of the same things from their employer – opportunities for growth and development, leaders who inspire them to give their best every day, a positive work environment, and flexible work arrangements that enable them to succeed at work and in their personal lives. At PepsiCo we continue to invest in these areas so that we remain the employer of choice for the best and brightest women and men in Australia and New Zealand. "With regard to the advancement of female talent in particular, the presence of visible female role models is key. PepsiCo is one of only a small number of Fortune 500 companies with a female CEO in Indra Nooyi, who has successfully led our company since 2006. "Closer to home, our ANZ executive team includes women members, and we have women in management across all functions of our business. I am pleased to be able to sponsor some of our most talented women to attend the Women in Leadership Symposium. It demonstrates our commitment to developing and advancing these women who are today’s and tomorrow’s leaders of our company".
