PepsiCo recently launched its 'She is PepsiCo' campaign, spotlighting Ontario women thriving in frontline supply chain careers. In an effort to empower these trailblazers, PepsiCo replaced its high-visibility truck logos with photos of female drivers, mechanics, and merchandisers.
The recent campaign aimed to inspire more women to pursue frontline roles, aligning with PepsiCo's commitment to inclusivity. The initiative came as a response to the disparity in gender representation within the supply chain industry, with women filling just 31% of frontline roles.
By showcasing the stories of over two dozen honorees across the United States and Canada, PepsiCo sought to amplify the diverse voices and career journeys of women. From Toronto-based Labeler Operator Sabeeta Debideen to Sterling Graham, a dedicated Delivery Driver from Orillia, each honoree brought a unique point of view while aligning with the company's broader goals and commitment to diversity.
