Packaged food used to be a convenience that was simply enjoyed.
Now it’s a loaded gun. Questions and concerns have created a series of global trends that impact the reputations – and bottom lines – of food companies operating in an increasingly complex environment.

11
Obesity Influences the
Dialogue
Regulators, health professionals and industry leaders have become more focused on calories from beverages and processed foods.
Social Media is Mainstream Media
Conversations and content about nutrition, health and food products are amplified through the food community, creating an echo chamber.
The Rise of the “Corp-sumer”
Consumers are passionate about their food choices and about the companies they buy from
12
A New Issue Import/Export Dynamic
Old paradigm of food issues being limited to developed markets and by geographic boundaries has changed.
“Global” Thinking and Doing is a Must
From obesity to food ingredients, sustainability to food safety, food security to commodities pricing, food issues dominate our global and local food dialogues, and shape the way companies and industries enter new markets and do business in those markets.
User Networks to Create
Social Currency
Creating a unique presence on the niche social networks that are important to key audiences helps build credibility and trust.

From Candy to
Innovation: With the world’s cocoa supply at risk, concentrated primarily in West Africa and susceptible to disease, and stakeholders calling for support of impoverished cocoa farmers, Mars decided to take action. In mapping the cocoa genome, Mars was seen as a leader, bringing solutions to a delicate agricultural and economic problem.
More than Just Coffee:
While suffering declining financial returns and an increasingly competitive market, Starbucks heralded the return of CEO Howard
Schultz and highlighted its deep bench of talented executives by partnering its thought leaders with select stakeholders in a series of global conversations, securing the company’s corporate reputation as a leader in not just coffee, but in responsible capitalism, corporate citizenship and sustainability.
Thinking Local : In the wake of a series of crises over the sourcing and ingredients of products sold in its restaurants, Yum! launched a global program that tracked and anticipated food and nutrition-related issues and influencers, leading to many of its brands announcing reformulated products based on unique market demands around the world.
Healthy Food Initiative: After successfully demonstrating that sustainable products should not and do not need to cost more for its customers, Walmart brought those same principles to healthy foods. Declaring that no family should ever have to make a choice between foods they can afford and foods that are good for them, Walmart announced a program with Michelle Obama’s
Let’s Move! that includes working with manufacturers to reformulate packaged goods, creating its own healthy foods seal, and lowering prices on fruits and vegetables.

At the top of the pyramid, special strategies are often required.
Focusing on “the” issue of most interest to the individual is both possible and critical.
Whether due to beliefs, position or role, some can be intractable and immovable, requiring development of other equally credible individuals to articulate “your” view.

Online conversation shapes media coverage, government action and consumer opinion –ultimately impacting a company’s bottom line. Conversations about the business and social impacts of food are shared and reverberate amongst a tight-knit group of stakeholders who are deeply connected to
PepsiCo and its competitors, providing the opportunity to reach broad audiences by targeting a few key digital influencers.
A multi-stakeholder world means opinions are formed across diverse channels, a debate can start anywhere and new influencers can rise to prominence each day.
Navigating the complexity and engaging stakeholders in meaningful ways is critical to success, but PepsiCo must first start with the potential allies and influencers who are the most vocal, credible and trusted sources of information.
FTI will immediately leverage its global heat-mapping tool to identify and chart a course for engaging prime stakeholders early , securing initial wins that will help
PepsiCo establish broader relationships in key communities.
