Corporate Social Responsibility

Dr Pepper Snapple Group (DPS) is the oldest new company on the New York Stock Exchange. As such, we have a proud, longstanding heritage of caring ... for our consumers, our customers, our employees and our neighbors in the communities where we live and do business across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. This sense of caring is at the heart of our business, shaping our values and the importance we place on corporate social responsibility (CSR).

We believe CSR is about doing the right thing for society and our business. This means making a splash by supporting worthy organizations, causes and initiatives that improve lives and create lasting legacies in our communities. It also means continually improving the way we operate, ensuring that we adopt sustainable business practices to guide how we produce, market and distribute our brands, with the interests of our stakeholders and the environment at heart.

Our CSR vision comes to life in the following key areas:

• Environmental Sustainability – We continue to refine and adopt practices to minimize our environmental footprint through solid waste reduction, recycling, and energy and water conservation.

• Health & Well-Being – We develop and responsibly market great-tasting beverages that respond to evolving demand, including a wide range of functional and reduced/non-calorie choices that fit the healthy, active lifestyles of consumers.

• Workplace Environment – We are committed to making DPS a great place to work by attracting and developing outstanding and diverse talent and fostering a fun, respectful, action-oriented and safe environment.

• Community Investment – DPS and its approximately 20,000 employees across North America and the Caribbean are good neighbors, contributing time and resources to build strong, healthy and vibrant communities. In 2007, the value of these gifts totaled $4.5 million.

• Ethical Sourcing – We are working throughout our global supply chain to ensure that our ingredients are manufactured to the highest standard by employees who are both well-treated and compensated fairly for their work.

We know CSR is not a destination, but a journey that can never end. Each step of this journey brings us closer to realizing our vision ... to Be the Best Beverage Business in the Americas.
