Firms Overview

PLATINUM

P&G

Our brands are trusted in millions of living rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and bathrooms—and have been passed down from generation to generation. Over the course of 181 years, they’ve challenged convention, led innovation, and helped shape culture.

But no matter how much we grow, we always keep ourselves grounded in our deep-rooted purpose, values, and principles.

We’ve done it for over 66,000 days, and we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

We believe in finding small but meaningful ways to improve lives — now and for every generation to come.

Make sustainable living commonplace

Every day, 2.5 billion people use our products to look good, feel good and get more out of life. That’s about a third of the global population choosing from household names such as Lipton, Knorr, Dove and Hellmann’s, and iconic local brands like Bango in Indonesia and Suave in the US. In fact, thirteen of the world’s top 50 brands are owned by Unilever.

Our geographic reach gives us an unparalleled global presence, including a unique position in emerging markets which generate 58% of our turnover.

Our business activities span a complex, global value chain. We work with thousands of suppliers and spend around €34 billion on goods and services, including approximately €13 billion on ingredients and raw materials, which are made into products in our 300+ factories across 69 countries. These products are then distributed to 25 million retailers, from supermarkets to small convenience stores, and through other fast-growing channels such as e-commerce and direct-to-consumer. We are also the second largest advertiser in the world, based on media spend.

Pepsi

For more than 50 years, as tastes, trends and lifestyles have changed, PepsiCo has evolved with them. Our willingness to adapt and grow has transformed our snack and soda company into a collection of global brands including Pepsi and Quaker, Gatorade and Tropicana, Frito Lay and beyond. Today, PepsiCo is one of the world’s most-respected companies with products sold in more than 200 countries and territories and 22 brands that generate more than $1 billion each in estimated annual retail sales. 

PepsiCo is also celebrated for its commitment to doing business the right way, integrating Purpose into our business strategy. In 2019, we adopted a new vision: to Be the Global Leader in Convenient Foods and Beverages by Winning with Purpose. Winning with Purpose is the next chapter in our purpose agenda and conveys our belief that sustainability can be an even greater contributor to our success in the marketplace. 

Our company is made up of six divisions: PepsiCo Beverages North America; Frito Lay North America; Quaker Foods North America; Latin America; Europe Sub-Saharan Africa; and Asia, Middle East and North Africa. Each of these divisions has its own unique history and way of doing business. 

PepsiCo Canada employs nearly 11,000 Canadians and is organized into two business units - PepsiCo Beverages Canada, which includes brands such as Pepsi, Gatorade and Tropicana; and PepsiCo Foods Canada, which includes Frito Lay Canada and Quaker foods & snacks. PepsiCo Canada, in turn, belongs to the global PepsiCo, Inc., family. 

GENERAL MILLS

Our purpose is to make food the world loves. This drives connection and trust with our consumers, and the idea of service builds engagement with our employees.  

We are focused on our Consumer First strategy, which means deeply understanding the needs and lives of our consumers and moving quickly to meet those needs with our broad portfolio of brands. And since the acquisition of Blue Buffalo, we’ve expanded our definition of Consumer First to meet the needs of all members of the family, including the furry ones. 

Over the years, we’ve continued to adapt and evolve our portfolio to serve our consumers and drive growth. We’re proud of the portfolio we’ve built, highlighted by eight iconic brands that each represent more than $1 billion dollars in retail sales worldwide. 

We’re a company of brand builders, and we see tremendous opportunities to make meaningful connections between our consumers and our brands to drive growth next year, and over the long term.
