The Procurement function is responsible for developing and executing sourcing strategies that deliver best-in-class economics, supply assurance, innovation, and sustainability practices for both people and the planet.

Procurement is a highly collaborative organization that partners across many functions within the company, including R&D (scientists and engineers to develop industry-leading ingredients and packaging), Marketing (ensure supplier capabilities grow in line with future-looking consumer insights), Finance and Legal (robust analysis and reporting metrics and competitor intel, and best-in-class agreements with external industries), and Manufacturing Plants (facilities that efficiently produce the snacks and beverages that make consumers smile across the globe) to name a few.

Global Procurement develops deep industry knowledge and delivers competitive advantage to PEP by negotiating best-in-class sourcing strategies across the following areas:

• Packaging (cans, bottles, chip bags, etc.)
• Ingredients (Seasonings & Flavors, Vegetable Oils, Potatoes, Sugar, Corn, etc.)
• Supply Assurance (planning & analysis, logistics, manufacturing, etc.)
• Commodity Risk Management (hedging programs, risk mitigation, competitive analysis, etc.)
• Indirects (IT, Marketing Equipment, Services, etc)
