Solution
PwC helped PepsiCo turn sustainability planning from linear analyses into an AI-native operating model for its Global Sustainability Office. The team mapped more than 500 processes, data sources, and decision points, then reorganized priority workflows into 17 agentic loops that watch for changes, reason over implications, and either trigger the next step or route issues for human review. At the center is an interactive scenario-analysis blueprint that recalculates glidepath projections on demand, supported by an AI-enabled data-management layer and verified information repository that standardize shared sustainability inputs. Reusable agentic archetypes handle data validation, calculation, anomaly detection, and AI-assisted drafting, while a governance framework monitors performance, investment choices, and human oversight. The result is a scalable analytics environment where work that once took weeks can run in minutes without separating speed from data integrity.
Data flow
Data from procurement, research and development, marketing, manufacturing, finance, and external reporting flows into the AI-enabled data-management layer and verified repository. Scenario-analysis logic and agentic loops recalculate glidepaths, check completeness, detect anomalies, and draft insights; outputs are then routed to human reviewers or advanced to the next step for sustainability teams and leaders.
