From: Roman Sheremeta — Pepsi is a great example of a morally bankrupt company hiding behind a facade of “responsibility”.
Pepsi operates 19 plants and employs about 60,000 people in russia. In 2024 it opened a new plant in russia with a snack production capacity of 60K tons per year. In 2023, it generated $4.2 billion in revenue in russia, paying $135 million just in profit taxes to russia’s fully militarized economy.
When looking for a new advertising/PR agency in Ukraine in 2023, PepsiCo made it a condition for a potential partner to exclude any mention of the war, or support for Ukraine and its army in future communications.
PepsiCo is a great example of a morally bankrupt company that de-facto sponsors russian terrorism and war crimes. PepsiCo has already been added to the list of international sponsors of war. But we need more!
Here are some practical steps:
- Share this post with your friends and let them know about the moral bankruptcy of Pepsi.
- Go to PepsiCo page and leave a comment reminding them that they are sponsoring war crimes.
- Stop buying their products, they are not good for you anyway. But if you cannot live without soda, then switch to Coca-Cola.
- Stop working for Pepsi. I had several connections on LinkedIn who worked for Pepsi. I removed them, because I cannot be connected to people who even tangentially enable genocide against my family and friends.
