Mondelēz International 'Remains Committed' To Sustainability Goals

The chairman and chief executive officer of Mondelēz International, Irene Rosenfeld, has announced that the company "remains committed to our Sustainability 2020 climate change goals".

In a statement made on the company website, Rosenfeld said that Mondelēz has managed to reduce CO2 emissions from its factories by 7% since 2003, which she states is on track with its 2020 goal of 15%.

Tackling Deforestation

Mondelēz is also actively addressing deforestation in its supply chains, which Rosenfeld says is ‘the biggest single contributor to our end-to-end carbon footprint’.

Mondelēz recently published a Cocoa Life strategy to combat climate change in cocoa producing countries. It is also a founding member of the Cocoa Forest Initiative.

Rosenfeld said, "Growing our positive impact for people and the planet is not only at the core of who we are as a company, it also helps to accelerate our growth.
