PepsiCo Australia, has today announced that it has extended its partnership with environmental not-for-profit, Clean Up Australia, thanks to funding from the PepsiCo Foundation, PepsiCo’s philanthropic arm. The extended collaboration reinforces PepsiCo Positive, an initiative that guides the business on how to inspire positive change for the planet and people.
Over a two-year period, the partnership will be brought to life through a two-year team engagement program, recognising PepsiCo as a Bronze Partner. Via Clean Up activities and education that drives ongoing team and stakeholder engagement, the partnership aims to encourage PepsiCo employees to unite, get out into nature and improve their local environment.
With a commitment of more than 13,600 volunteer hours, the program will see PepsiCo employees hold clean up activities nationwide. Clean Up Australia will also help to reinforce the importance of sustainable action and deliver key insights into Australia’s waste challenges by hosting a hybrid learning session led by CUA’s CEO, Jenny Geddes. As an extension, co-branded video content and infographics will assist Clean Up Australia’s community of volunteers on how to host a safe and successful Clean Up activation.
Brent Gapes, Sustainability Manager, ANZ at PepsiCo, said: “As one of Australia’s largest snack manufacturers, we’re always seeking ways to invest in positive sustainable change. Clean Up Australia is one of Australia’s most recognised and trusted environmental charities and this is an incredible opportunity to inspire not only our PepsiCo network, but also the wider community to help make a difference.”
Jenny Geddes, CEO of Clean Up Australia, says, “We are delighted to have the continued support of and partnership with PepsiCo. With their generous contributions we will be able to produce new resources that will help to educate our community of Clean Up volunteers to achieve our mission of improving and conserving our environment, eliminating litter, and ending waste.”

Glin, President of the PepsiCo Foundation and Global Head of Social Impact for PepsiCo, says, “”We’re proud to extend our partnership with Clean Up Australia in support of our PepsiCo Positive ambition to drive positive action for the planet and people.
