Business Call to Action: PepsiCo - new locally produced nutritional product in Africa

The UK Government and UNDP hosted the Business Call to Action event on 6 May 2008, inviting Chief Executives and Board Chairs from some of the world’s largest companies to showcase concrete initiatives that support economic growth and reduce poverty in developing countries.

This video showcases PepsiCo's announcement to develop a nutritional product accessed through the company's distribution network and sold in Nigeria, India and South Africa.

PepsiCo estimates that the product will improve the nutrition of 100,000 children in its pilot phase alone.

The manufacturing and production of this product means that PepsiCo could increase its operations in Nigeria, India and South Africa by 20% - which would have a positive impact on jobs locally.
