PepsiCo CCF
Welcome to the PepsiCo Concerned Citizens Fund website. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about The Concerned Citizens Fund (CCF or Fund) and how it helps PepsiCo participate in the political process. The CCF is the political action committee (PAC) for PepsiCo and is supported through voluntary contributions from eligible employees and stockholders of PepsiCo and affiliated businesses. It is a nonpartisan PAC that is not affiliated with any political party, candidate or organization and all CCF contributions are used to support federal and state candidates who support PepsiCo’s business goals and objectives.
You may be asking yourself why PepsiCo needs a political action committee. The simple answer is it’s imperative that we engage in the political process in a positive yet meaningful way, ensuring that our voices are heard regarding public policy issues affecting our business. One of the best ways to do this is through a strong political action program that helps improve the climate in which we operate. Special interest groups are aggressively seeking restrictions, taxes and regulation on our products. If we want our views heard on these and other issues, we must be involved directly in helping elect qualified leaders to public office who share our business concerns and interests.
PepsiCo provides the CCF’s administrative support, but you and your colleagues provide the voluntary contributions needed to support candidates who share our concerns. Again, all contributions are strictly voluntary, and you can contribute through payroll deductions or download and complete a registration form for a one-time contribution by personal check.
