› Pepsi Co Contract Video

› Background› Methods and Processes› Survey Results› How Have Things Change Since 2006?› Conclusion

Increase the number of Refill Stations, a low-cost solution to improve access to drinking water for students on campus

Determine which water fountains can be converted into Refill Stations by assessing their attributes

324 fountains assessed on campus 69 students in NST 166 participated Each student assessed 5 fountains Barriers:

› Other Make besides Oasis, Elkey, and Haws› Difficulty finding Model # (Main Problem!)› Missing Fountains› Repeated Fountains› Fountains that were out of order› Different interpretations of inventory

(eg: Saucer Extension vs. Solid Extension)

Soda Consumption › Obesity› Diabetes› Other Health Issues

Access and Availability› Understanding Students

Environmental Impact Model for Other Schools

Original contract with Coca-Cola expired on August 3rd

Last spring, a group of concerned students and ASUC senators proposed a bill condemning Coca-Cola’s business practices and urging the campus to reconsider the terms of its contract

The student bill raised concerns about Coca-Cola’s labor, human rights and environmental track records in India and Guatemala as well as domestic health and sustainability practices

10 year contract with PepsiCo Inc. (August 3rd 2011-August 2021)

Annual $1.3 million sponsorship fee to be paid to campus stakeholders› The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics› The ASUC Auxiliary› Residential and Student Service Programs› The Recreational Sports Facility

Product donations: $40,000 Sustainability program support: $15,000 Marketing and promotion funds: $235,000 Pepsi willing to include sustainability funding, unlike

Coke

Coke was not willing to give money to improve Cal’s recycling program

Students requested environmental considerations and recycling programs

New contract does not set minimum sales for water bottles, unlike old contracts

The “End the Sale of Bottled Water”: consider ending the sale of bottled water and increasing the number drinking fountains and hydration stations

Pepsi proposal: support for recycling, waste reduction, minimization of plastic containers, recycled product use and promotional support

New agreement: offer more choices such as healthier drink options and increased support/ revenues to ASUC student groups

Use of hybrid sustainable delivery trucks

View beverages habits of students on campus

Compare with ’06-’07 water and beverage survey

Goal: at least 50% healthy choices in vending machines and food facilities on campus

Survey› Understanding of students Motivating factors to drink H2O Other drinks and Why? Water Fountain Usage

› Compare to Survey from 2006-2007 Progress
