The PepsiCo Water Academy was initially developed for PepsiCo associates responsible for managing water resources to help build their knowledge base and guide their annual objectives. In partnership with Arizona State University, the course will now be open to individuals outside of the company as the Global Water Academy.

The program modules will initially be available to a limited number of participants outside of PepsiCo thisSource: Arizona State University year, with a goal of expanding this in 2023 based on demand. The academy is designed to help professionals gain a basic understanding of water resources and how water stewardship practices can be implemented.

Participants will gain actionable insight around where water comes from, how businesses can better manage this resource, how water is governed, surface water and groundwater cycles, and how to effectively plan for sustainable water resource management and use. At the end of the course, participants will receive a digital badge with a certificate of completion from Arizona State University and PepsiCo.
