PepsiCo launched the latest edition of its Greenhouse Program in Asia Pacific to help scale sustainability solutions from startups.
The 2026 IMPACT Edition shifts the focus from pilots to putting solutions into PepsiCo’s day-to-day Asia Pacific operations with potential to expand globally.
“In Asia Pacific, the next wave of competitive advantage will come from how quickly we can turn practical innovation into scaled commercial outcomes. Our priority is to focus on solutions that strengthen resilience in our value chain, accelerate execution in the market, and advance pep+ in ways that are measurable for both our business and our partners. This edition of the PepsiCo Greenhouse Program reflects a deliberate shift from exploring ideas broadly to backing the solutions most capable of creating strategic advantage across the region,” says Anne Tse, CEO, Asia Pacific, PepsiCo.
Key takeaways:
· PepsiCo is working to cut emissions across farming, manufacturing and logistics, help growers build climate resilience, and advance sustainable packaging goals.
· This work is part of PepsiCo Positive (pep+), the company’s end-to-end transformation that puts sustainability at the center of the business.
· Now in its fourth year in Asia Pacific, the Greenhouse Program has supported more than 22 pilots with over 30 startups.
· The seven-month program pairs startups with cross-functional PepsiCo mentors and an expanded partner network to move beyond proof-of-concept into real-world rollout. The partners across venture capital, agriculture, and innovation support project development, help enable market access, and, where relevant, explore potential investment opportunities as solutions mature.
· This year’s cohort includes five Greenhouse Program alumni selected for their readiness to expand and their fit with PepsiCo’s priorities across agriculture, climate resilience and sustainable packaging.
