PepsiCo Foodservice has entered into a
strategic partnership with the not-for-profit Green Restaurant
Association. The GRA will work with PepsiCo Foodservice to assist its
customers in becoming more environmentally sustainable.

Founded in 1990, the GRA offers foodservice operators an array of services
that include research, environmental consulting, employee education, and
certification on all matters that pertain to running an ever-greener
establishment. The GRA will be a resource to PepsiCo Foodservice
customers by conducting environmental site assessments, identifying
opportunities to make operations more sustainable, and providing related
cost-benefit analyses.

“PepsiCo strives to identify customer needs and provide meaningful
solutions,” says Scott Siers, VP of Industry Relations and Business
Development, PepsiCo Foodservice. “We know that environmental
sustainability is important to our customers. PepsiCo Foodservice has
collaborated with the GRA to facilitate working solutions for our
customers who serve any of PepsiCo’s products—Pepsi, Frito-Lay,
Tropicana, Quaker, and Gatorade.”

“We help foodservice operators become more environmentally sustainable
by identifying opportunities and, importantly, outlining steps for
improvement through environmental assessments,” says Michael Oshman,
executive director, Green Restaurant Association. “We work with vendors,
property managers, and manufacturers to implement those steps, while
maintaining an ongoing client relationship to ensure success. We also
help the operators realize the economic advantages of being
environmentally responsible.”
