PepsiCo, which has been recognized by the Energy Star program since 2006, will be honored for its long-term commitment to energy efficiency. After more than a decade, the cumulative effects of PepsiCo’s resource conservation program have resulted in an improvement in energy efficiency of more than 30%. Further, PepsiCo avoided the emissions of over 600,000 metric tons of greenhouse gasses in 2011, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of over 50,000 American single-family homes and over 115,000 passenger vehicles.
