Mondelez Sustainability Actions

Published annual ESG reporting

Mondelēz says its Snacking Made Right report gives yearly updates on its sustainability goals, policies, and progress. It says the report covers its direct operations and parts of its wider supply chain when relevant. The company also says it uses the report, a human rights due diligence report, and a reporting archive to share measurable information with investors, customers, and other stakeholders. This is a reporting step, not proof that every goal has been met, but it does show the company is publishing regular sustainability data.

Reduced value-chain emissions

Mondelēz reports that it has cut greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by about 21% compared with 2018 in its 2025 highlights, and about 12% in its 2024 ESG report. Greenhouse gas emissions are the gases that trap heat in the atmosphere and drive climate change. The company also says it is working on electrification, renewable energy, and more efficient processes to lower emissions further. The figures are self-reported, so they show the company’s claimed progress rather than an independent audit of the full result.

Expanded Cocoa Life sourcing

Mondelēz says nearly 91% of its cocoa volume in 2024, and about 100% in its 2025 highlights, came through Cocoa Life, its cocoa sustainability program. Cocoa Life is the company’s sourcing program for cocoa, the main ingredient in chocolate. The company says the program supports farming communities and helps regenerate landscapes. This is an important supply-chain action because cocoa farming can affect land use, farmer income, and forest loss. The claim is company-reported, so it should be read as the company’s own progress update.

Made more packaging recyclable

Mondelēz says about 96% of its packaging is designed to be recyclable. Recyclable means the material is made so it can be collected and processed into new material, although that depends on local recycling systems. The company says it is working toward a more circular economy for packaging, which means keeping materials in use for longer and reducing waste. It also says it is improving packaging so it protects products while supporting this goal. The statement is broad, so it does not mean every pack is actually recycled in practice.

Completed SMETA audits

Mondelēz says 100% of its manufacturing sites completed a SMETA audit within the past three years. SMETA stands for Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit, a common check used to review labour, health and safety, and business ethics in factories. This suggests the company is using a formal process to review working conditions in its own sites. The source does not give the audit findings, so it confirms the checks happened but not whether every issue was solved.

Set supplier sustainability expectations

RSSL, a wholly owned Mondelēz subsidiary, says it invited its top 200 suppliers to join EcoVadis in 2024 and shared sustainability expectations across its supply chain. EcoVadis is a platform that rates companies on environment, labour, ethics, and buying practices. RSSL also says it is streamlining its supplier base and requires quality approval before onboarding new suppliers. These steps suggest more oversight of suppliers, but the details are limited and the source is a subsidiary page rather than a full group-wide supplier report.
