PepsiCo is planning on making big progress in reducing sugar in beverages in the next decade. According to a <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/2016/10/14/pepsico-pledges-to-slash-beverage-calorie-counts-by-2025.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cnbc-pepsico-pledges-to-slash-beverage-calorie-counts-by-2025-6591" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">recent CNBC article</a>, PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi announced a new sustainability initiative that includes significantly reducing the calorie count of the company&rsquo;s drinks by 2025.

As consumer preferences changes, the company is trying to respond to the health concerns of sugar-sweetened beverages as well as the efforts by many communities to tax sugary beverages to fight obesity. In addition, the company plans to redouble water efficiency.

PepsiCo says that two-thirds of the company&rsquo;s drink will have 100 calories or less per 12-ounce serving in as little as nine years. It is a big promise seeing as the brand makes more than $1 billion annually from its signature Pepsi soda.

&quot;Over the last decade, we have made progress in reducing sugar,&quot;&nbsp;PepsiCo&nbsp;Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi told CNBC. &quot;But there&#39;s a lot more we needed to do because countries which loved sugar were growing faster than countries which were consuming lower-sugar products.&quot;

The company will also have to consider changes to its products outside of soda, which include ready-to-drink coffee, iced tea products, flavored sparkling water, juices, and Gatorade drinks.
