Political Contributions and Lobbying Efforts
March 20
PepsiCo’s reported spending of $3,980,000 on federal lobbying activities in 2023 indicates a heavy reliance on political contributions and lobbying. From an anti‑fascist viewpoint, such significant financial involvement in influencing policy—even under procedures designed for transparency—raises concerns about bolstering existing power structures and undermining democratic accountability.

Executive Political Engagement
March 20
The involvement of senior executives in approving political contributions underlines a high-level engagement in the political process. While the established guidelines promote transparency, this executive oversight reinforces the company’s role in shaping policy agendas which, under an anti‑fascist lens, can contribute indirectly to authoritarian influence.

The Human Rights Watch report exposes systemic shortcomings in global supply chain oversight and labor rights practices. As a wholesale distributor of major consumer products, the company may be indirectly complicit in human rights abuses if it fails to implement robust ethical due diligence and labor protections within its supply chain.

Supply Chain Ethics
March 20
The Human Rights Watch report lays out extensive evidence of supply chain failures concerning human rights and ethical sourcing. Wholesale distributors, by their role in channeling large volumes of products, have a responsibility to ensure that their supply chains are free from forced labor, child labor, and other abuses. The lack of stringent due diligence practices may contribute indirectly to these abuses, warranting a strongly negative score in the Supply Chain Ethics category.

Labor Relations and Human Rights Practices
March 20
The report emphasizes widespread labor rights violations, including forced labor and child labor, across global supply chains. For a distributor, ensuring that suppliers adhere to fair labor practices is critical. The failure to actively monitor and enforce these standards in the supply chain contributes to systemic labor abuses, justifying a negative score in the Labor Relations and Human Rights Practices category.
