Pepsico Reaches 2025 Goal on Water-use Efficiency in High Water-risk Areas Two Years Early

Mar 22, 2024 by Sujata Muguda 0 Comments #AWS, #Jim Andrew, #PepsiCo, #SWRDM

India, March 22, 2024 – PepsiCo announced that it reached its 2025 global goal of a 25% improvement in operational water-use efficiency in high water-risk areas, two years ahead of schedule1. In addition, the company was recognized by CDP, the global environmental non-profit, on the 2023 CDP A List for leadership in corporate transparency and performance on water security – putting PepsiCo in the top 0.5% of all 21,000 companies CDP scored.

As part of pep+ (PepsiCo Positive) – the company’s strategic end-to-end transformation – PepsiCo will continue working towards additional water stewardship ambitions, including aiming to be net water positive by 2030.

“Water is a fundamental human right and yet water insecurity remains a significant global challenge with billions of people lacking access to safe water,” said Jim Andrew, Chief Sustainability Officer, PepsiCo. “That’s why good water stewardship is so important and has long been a priority for PepsiCo and the communities we serve. Our vision is that wherever in the world we operate, water resources will be in a better state than before we arrived. And while we’re proud to have achieved this goal in high water-risk areas two years early, we will continue our unyielding focus on meeting our 2030 ambitions.”

Guided by PepsiCo positive, PepsiCo India aims at supporting water security for its business, natural ecosystems, and local communities by – improving water use efficiency in operations, providing safe water access to people, replenishing more than 100% of water used and adopting the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) standard in high water-risk areas where PepsiCo operates. Keeping these efforts in mind, PepsiCo India along with its partners have undertaken the following initiatives across locations in the country:

Through the Sustainable Water Resource Development and Management (SWRDM) program in collaboration with Alternative Development Initiatives (ADI), positively impacted over 70,000 individuals and, created the potential for 1,000 million liters of groundwater recharge through the construction of 33 rainwater harvesting structures in regions like Sangrur (Punjab), Pune (Maharashtra), and Mathura (Uttar Pradesh).

 PepsiCo Foundation is committed to providing Safe Water Access to over 100 million people worldwide by 2030. Out of this 68 million have already been covered through various partnerships with NGOs and multilateral agencies, with 27 million beneficiaries from India.

Taking the water that’s naturally found in potatoes and using it to help run food manufacturing facilities. Implemented at sites in India, Mexico, Poland and Thailand, this innovative technology developed by PepsiCo Research & Development teams captures and treats vapor that is released by potatoes when they are cooked for products such as Lay’s and converts it to drinkable water that is used to help run manufacturing facilities. This process can save a single site up to 60 million liters of water per year. The project aims to recover over 50% of water used in potato chip manufacturing plants in West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.

“Driven by our vision of PepsiCo Positive, we are making significant strides towards water stewardship and sustainability at PepsiCo India. As we celebrate World Water Day, we take pride in our continuous efforts that extend beyond conservation to actively replenishing water sources, adopting sustainable practices, and empowering communities. Through initiatives like the Sustainable Water Resource Development and Management and Safe Water Access programs, in collaboration with Alternative Development Initiatives, WaterAid & Pandit Jagat Ram Memorial FORCE Trust respectively, we’ve positively impacted lives and ecosystems across regions like Punjab, Maharashtra, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh. As we march towards our goal of becoming net water positive by 2030, we remain steadfast in our mission, touching the lives of communities, wherever we go.” – Yashika Singh, Head – Corporate Affairs Communication and Sustainability, PepsiCo India

Plaza Premium Group Goes All-In on AWS to Drive Global Growth

Sep 10, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #AWS, #Chief Information Officer, #Hong Kong and Taiwan, #Managing Director, #Olivia Chang, #Plaza Premium Group, #Robert Wang

Bangalore: Today, Amazon Web Services (AWS), an Amazon.com company, announced that leading airport hospitality provider Plaza Premium Group (PPG), which serves more than 20 million passengers annually in over 250 locations across 70 international airports globally, has gone all-in on AWS, closing two data centers and migrating the vast majority of its IT infrastructure to the world’s leading cloud to deliver better customer experiences. PPG is leveraging the breadth and depth of AWS services, including networking and content delivery, serverless, blockchain, management and governance, and security, to seamlessly expand its presence to over 500 locations by 2025, including lounges at the 100 busiest airports worldwide, at 40% lower cost. By digitally transforming during the COVID-19 pandemic, PPG is helping its business partners, including airports, airlines, and travel operators, cut overhead costs as travel resumes by efficiently managing their lounges, airport operations, and loyalty programs using cloud technology. With AWS, PPG can also deploy IT services in new lounge locations 20 times faster and innovate new solutions, including the company’s global airport loyalty rewards program.

Before migrating to AWS, PPG was experiencing technological constraints using on-premises infrastructure, which made upgrading architecture, expanding into new markets, and building new customer services challenging. With AWS, PPG can provision infrastructure at new locations faster, reducing the time to roll out new lounge locations from up to four months to as little as one week. In addition, using Amazon CloudFront, a fast content delivery network (CDN) service, PPG improved the performance and stability of its lounge management system, allowing customers to check into PPG’s airport lounges using their smart phones in less than a minute.

PPG is also leveraging AWS to help its business partners succeed. PPG uses Amazon API Gateway, a fully managed service that makes it easy for developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure application programming interfaces (APIs) at any scale, to make the group’s lounge management system available as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for its partners. These partners can also gain insights into customer travel and dining preferences to create new personalized offers for airport lounge customers, including travel-related products and services like private lounges access, spa and wellness experiences, and hotel discounts.

To increase customer loyalty, PPG developed a centralized and secure solution on the cloud to host Smart Traveller, the company’s global airport loyalty rewards program that provides international travelers with discounts and special offers from partners in the retail, travel, and dining sectors. Using Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (QLDB), a fully managed ledger database that allows the company to standardize loyalty point transaction reporting, PPG can share and settle travelers’ loyalty points with partners including retailers, lounge operators, and ground transport and accommodation providers in a transparent, permanent, verifiable, and unchangeable transaction log. With this database technology, PPG enables travelers to earn and redeem loyalty points in real-time for member benefits such as lounge access, limousine transfer, and dining.

“PPG strives to make travel better for millions of customers each year. We chose AWS because of its global footprint, security, and high scalability, which enable us to deploy our hospitality services to new airports faster and forge new strategic partnerships to provide premium airport hospitality,” said Olivia Chang, Chief Information Officer, Plaza Premium Group. “By moving our entire infrastructure to AWS, we have access to their unmatched portfolio of cloud services to develop more innovative, secure and seamless customer services, including our Smart Traveller/Arrture Loyalty Rewards Program that is powered by the Amazon Quantum Ledger Database, a fully managed ledger database that provides a transparent, immutable, and cryptographically verifiable transaction log. With QLDB, we can easily verify that there have been no unintended modifications to our data.”

“PPG is taking airport traveler comfort and convenience to new heights with AWS,” said Robert Wang, Managing Director, Hong Kong and Taiwan, AWS. “The leading global provider of airport services has ambitious expansion plans, and AWS provides the scalability PPG requires to meet these ambitions. With AWS’s unmatched suite of cloud services, PPG is quickly rolling out new solutions in a cost-effective way that please customers and make travel better.”

AWS Announces AWS BugBust…

Jun 25, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #Amazon Machine Learning, #Antonio Delgado, #AWS, #CTO at NextRoll, #Dean of Engineering, #Founder and CEO at Games For Love, #Inc., #Nathan Blair, #Swami Sivasubramanian, #Technology and Design at Miami Dade College, #Valentino Volonghi, #VP

Bengaluru, India – Today, Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company, announced the AWS BugBust Challenge, the world’s first global competition for developers to collectively eliminate one million software bugs. With just a few clicks, developers from around the world can join the challenge by creating an AWS BugBust event for their organization in the Amazon CodeGuru console—and compete for prizes and prestige by identifying and fixing bugs in their applications. By fixing bugs and achieving cost savings for their organizations, developers climb the AWS BugBust leaderboard to receive achievement badges, exclusive prizes, and a chance for an expense-paid trip to attend AWS re:Invent 2021 in Las Vegas. To get started with the AWS BugBust Challenge, visit: aws.amazon.com/bugbust.

One of the most important steps in software development is code reviews, which help ensure the correctness of code and the use of coding best practices. As code bases become larger and new features are added to applications at a greater velocity, the volume and complexity of code reviews increases. This is why developers are constantly looking for better and less tedious ways to perform code reviews to make their applications more secure, reliable, and efficient. Some organizations hold bug bash events where teams collaborate to find and fix bugs, but these events require developers to spend most of the time manually inspecting large codebases, which limits the ability for teams to work together, share best practices, and eliminate large numbers of bugs.

AWS BugBust is the first global bug-busting challenge for developers to collectively eliminate 1 million software bugs and $100 million in technical debt for their organizations using Amazon CodeGuru. Amazon CodeGuru is a developer tool that uses machine learning to identify bugs and find the most expensive lines of code in applications. Amazon CodeGuru helps developers automate code reviews and application profiling with its two components, Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer (which uses machine learning to flag common issues in code and provide specific recommendations on remediation) and Amazon CodeGuru Profiler (which uses machine learning to identify the most expensive lines of code in applications). By participating in the AWS BugBust Challenge, customers can easily organize AWS BugBust events in the Amazon CodeGuru console, where they can select their applications to profile and analyze, and then invite their teams to participate in the event. Each time developers fix a bug and save money, they will score points to climb their organization’s private BugBust leaderboard and see how they rank among their teammates. During the event, each participant’s total number of bugs fixed and cost savings will be added to the global AWS BugBust leaderboard, making participants eligible for profile badges, exclusive prizes, and a chance for an expense-paid trip to attend AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas.

“Hundreds of thousands of AWS customers are building and deploying new features to applications each day at high velocity and managing complex code at high volumes. It’s difficult to get time from skilled developers to quickly perform effective code reviews since they’re busy building, innovating, and pushing out deployments,” said Swami Sivasubramanian, VP, Amazon Machine Learning, AWS. “Today, we are excited to announce an entirely new approach to help developers improve code quality, eliminate bugs, and boost application performance, while saving millions of dollars in application resource costs. With the AWS BugBust Challenge, developers can use Amazon CodeGuru to spend less time finding common coding mistakes and more time having fun and competing to improve their applications and save their companies a lot of money.”

The AWS BugBust capability is available today in US East (N. Virginia) with availability in additional regions where Amazon CodeGuru is offered coming soon.

NextRoll helps marketplaces and marketing platforms grow revenue by empowering them to build and enhance their marketing solutions. “AWS BugBust has been such a fun way for our dev teams to systematically improve our code quality,” said Valentino Volonghi, CTO at NextRoll, Inc. “With AWS BugBust, not only are we able to increase the number of critical issues found before the application reaches customers, but we have reduced the code review time and helped our developers build new coding skills. And the best part is that they’re having fun doing it.”

As an AWS Advanced Consulting, QuickSight, and Well-Architected Partner, Belle Fleur has a proven track record of helping clients deliver high-quality, valuable software in an efficient, fast, and reliable manner with astounding results. “All of our customers want to build secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure for their applications and workloads under the AWS Well-Architected Framework, and gamifiying DevOps with AWS BugBust to make it easier is sheer genius!” said Tia Dubuisson, President at Belle Fleur Technologies. “Customers that want to score high in the operational excellence pillar can now take advantage of a joint AWS BugBust with Belle Fleur and use machine learning to inspect their code with Amazon CodeGuru and leave expensive and labor-intensive manual inspections behind. We are proud to be a launch partner to deliver Amazon CodeGuru to our customers from start-ups to enterprises so they can automate and drive DevOps excellence. Now they can use machine learning powered insights with AWS BugBust to quickly find and fix bugs in a fun and engaging format and make their applications more reliable and secure while saving money. By using the most up-to-date technology and automating operations, our customers are able to reinvest time savings to advance other modernization projects and recruit and retain new talent as they grow and scale their solutions on AWS.”

Founded in 1959, Miami Dade College is a public college in Miami, Florida with eight campuses and twenty-one outreach centers throughout Miami-Dade County. “The AWS BugBust Challenge will be a fun and educative addition to our curriculum to help our students become more confident in their ability to use the Python programming language and take their IT careers to the next level,” said Antonio Delgado, Dean of Engineering, Technology and Design at Miami Dade College. “We plan to use AWS BugBust every semester as a platform for our students to showcase and enhance their coding skills, all while being part of an exciting bug-bashing event.”

Games For Love is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to easing suffering, saving lives, and creating sustainable futures for children. “While code review is part of our development process, flaws sometimes pass through the inspection and verification phase before production,” said Nathan Blair, Founder and CEO at Games For Love. “AWS BugBust has revolutionized our code review process and empowered developers to get code quality right, in a uniform manner, and enable them to celebrate their bug-bashing achievements. Moreover, our developers can use the machine learning-powered recommendations with Amazon CodeGuru to also improve their coding skills.”
