Dear Jason,

Thank you for contacting us at PepsiCo and for sharing your thoughts. Your letter to Ms. Indra Nooyi was forwarded to my attention with a request to personally respond.

As a company, we made a commitment to promote and support diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our business. We’re proud of the success we’ve had in attracting some of the best and the brightest from around the world and in building a workforce that is truly reflective of the consumers we serve.

The PepsiCo Foundation grants deal solely and specifically with workplace-oriented initiatives, and they include direct support of the Human Rights Campaign. We're respectful of all people and their human rights.

At PepsiCo, diversity and inclusion are among the values we have adopted for ourselves in the workplace because we see them as important to our viability and success—as individual employees and as a company. And we believe strongly that these values will enhance other businesses and work environments as well.

Thanks for allowing us to share this information with you.

Dear Customer Relations,

I have always appreciate Pepsi's work for diversity and inclusion, but please keep in mind that the offensive speech from your new partner , Michael Savage, works against all that you have done. It also make Pepsi seem as though it is "all talk" when it comes to diversity and equal rights.

I stand by my support of a boycott and will share this information with all of my friends, readers of my blog, and business associates at The Advocate, Out Magazine and Regent Media until the partnership is dissolved.

Thank you,
Jason Nelson
