"Diversity has been and continues to be a strategic priority for PBG. We rely on the talents and skills of our people to differentiate PBG in the marketplace. Every PBG employee contributes to the strength of the organization. It is their unique perspectives and experiences that have made PBG a success - and that will determine our success in the future.

"To that end, PBG thinks about diversity not as a program, but as a characteristic of our culture. To us, becoming "more diverse" means creating a more inclusive environment in which employees feel their differences are respected and their unique perspectives are valued - where diversity is woven into our employment practices, community outreach strategy and marketing plans rather than discussed as a separate discipline. I feel strongly that this integrated approach advances diversity in the most meaningful way, unleashing the unquenchable spirit and potential of our people."

– Eric J. Foss, President and Chief Executive Officer

Diversity allows PBG to better understand the markets we serve and be a more effective selling organization to ourincreasingly diverse customer base. By valuing and leveraging the contributions of all our employees, we are able to drive better business results. Different from some of the philosophies at other companies, PBG considers diversity to be any difference that makes an employee, consumer or customer unique. Differences may include race, gender, experience, work style, culture, religion, age, language, disability, sexual orientation and any other attribute that exists within our workplace and the communities in which we operate.
