Though PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi has been criticized by some shareholders for focusing less on soda and more on healthy snacks, she remains steadfast in her fight for what she calls Performance with Purpose.

"Performance with purpose only means deliver great performance while keeping an eye to all of the stakeholders... If you weave purpose into the way you think about your performance, that's now part of the business model."
