The PBG press release is below:

“A strong commitment to culture and talent development is more important for companies today than ever before. There are a number of ways in which we are investing in our people at PBG, but none take precedence over our efforts to build a diverse work force,” said PBG Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Eric Foss. “As the retail customers who sell our products, the consumers who buy them and the communities in which we all work and live continue to become more diverse, having a similarly diverse team of employees is critical to our success as a company.”

“The Pepsi Bottling Group has become widely known as a company with an inclusive workforce,” said Luke Visconti, CEO of DiversityInc. “With strong diversity training and metrics to assess its success, PBG is committed to improving its ability to recruit, retain and develop top talent.”

Now in its ninth year, the DiversityInc “Top 50 Companies for Diversity” list is the largest competition of its kind. Over 400 companies participated this year, each completing a comprehensive survey of diversity programs and results. The top companies were found to demonstrate consistent strength in the areas of CEO Commitment, Human Capital, Corporate and Organizational Communications, and Supplier Diversity.
