Subject: PepsiCo – May 6, 2026 AGM Proposal 5

Dear colleagues,

I’m writing to ask you to vote FOR Proposal 5 at PepsiCo’s May 6 annual meeting. Proposal 5 requests disclosure on the effectiveness of PepsiCo’s human rights due diligence systems across its operations, franchisees, and value chain. Please read the exempt solicitation for the full rationale and supporting details.

PepsiCo has human rights policies and due diligence processes, but its current disclosures do not enable investors to evaluate whether those systems are effective in practice, particularly in higher-risk supply chains and geographies.

Please consider the investor value of targeted, decision-useful disclosure on how PepsiCo’s human rights due diligence performs in practice:

Materiality to long-term value creation

PepsiCo’s exposure to complex agricultural supply chains and higher-risk regions (including Russia) creates potential regulatory, operational, and reputational risk. Strong oversight—and clear disclosure on whether oversight is working—supports long-term value creation.

Gap in decision-useful disclosure

PepsiCo’s existing policies and systems lack transparency about measurable outcomes, such as risk identification, mitigation, and remediation.

Effectiveness of risk oversight

PepsiCo’s current reporting is largely process oriented. Without clear metrics on due diligence, investors cannot assess whether the company is effectively managing salient human rights risks, especially in higher-risk commodities and jurisdictions.
