For the second year, PepsiCo is going beyond store shelves to make a real difference on college and university campuses by giving students the chance to win up to 510,000 in funding to implement new sustainability initiatives or improve existing efforts in their communities, the Zero Impact Fund (ZIP), which launched in August 2016, provides cash prizes for college and university sustainability projects related to energy, waste or water that aim to achieve long-term environmental, economic and social impacts. In its first year, ZIF awarded cash prizes to eight schools chosen from more than 40 applications, awarded proposals from last year included campus bike share, composting and solar energy programs. Now in its second year, the program is planning to significantly increase the amount of funding available in order to make an impact on more campuses.

Option 2: "The company was involving in different college projects to have long-term social and economic impacts."

Explanation: This option accurately reflects the main idea of the text, which discusses PepsiCo's involvement in college sustainability projects aimed at achieving long-term environmental, economic, and social impacts. The mention of funding for initiatives aligns with the text's focus on community engagement and sustainability.

Option 1: "The environmental impact only is important for them to grow in the changing environment."

Explanation: This option incorrectly states that only environmental impact is important for PepsiCo's growth. The text emphasizes a broader approach, highlighting social and economic impacts alongside environmental ones. Therefore, this option does not capture the comprehensive strategy PepsiCo employs.

Option 3: "The campus programs can help them grow by only increasing the fund requirement for them."

Explanation: This option suggests that growth is solely dependent on increasing funding requirements, which is misleading. The text indicates that the funding is intended to support sustainability initiatives, not just to increase requirements. This option fails to capture the broader context of community impact.

Option 4: "They can only grow by offering the store shelf services to their customers."

Explanation: This option incorrectly limits PepsiCo's growth strategy to store shelf services. The text clearly states that PepsiCo is focusing on sustainability initiatives on college campuses, indicating a more diverse approach to growth beyond traditional retail.
