Political Contributions and Lobbying Efforts
March 20
PepsiCo Transportation is linked to PepsiCo’s practice of channeling large sums (e.g., $3.98 million in federal lobbying expenditures) into political contributions. Despite strong transparency measures and regulatory compliance, such significant spending on political lobbying and contributions can exacerbate corporate influence over public policy, potentially undermining democratic accountability and contributing to authoritarian tendencies.
