CHICAGO — Mondelez International released the findings from its 2024 “Snacking Made Right” report, which spotlights the company’s progress made against its sustainability goals.

“We continue to prioritize sustainability as the fourth pillar in our long-term strategy, as we believe that a more sustainable business adds value over the long term,” said Dirk Van de Put, chair and CEO of Mondelez International. “With the right strategy, the right brands, the right geographic footprint and the right people, I’m confident that we remain solidly positioned for long-term, sustainable growth.”

The “Snacking Made Right” report also illustrates Mondelez’s commitment to transparency and its active efforts to drive more sustainable and mindful snacking.

Highlights of the company’s report include:

Advancing responsible sourcing through Cocoa Life — Mondelez’s cocoa sustainability program — which empowers farming communities and regenerates landscapes, now covering nearly 91% of cocoa volume.

Accelerating climate action efforts, achieving approximately a 12% reduction in end-to-end GHG emissions across the company’s value chain compared to 2018.

Continuing progress toward a more circular economy for packaging, with approximately 96% of packaging designed to be recyclable.

Growing the company’s mindful portion snacks portfolio, with over 84% of revenue now derived from individually wrapped mindful portions or clear guidance on packs.

“I’m proud of the consistency of our approach and the strong progress we continue to achieve against our sustainability goals,” said Christine Montenegro McGrath, chief impact & sustainability officer at Mondelez International. “We remain focused on making an impact where we think people and our planet need it most, and I am encouraged by the results of this focus.”

Earlier this year, Mondelez released findings from its sixth annual “State of Snacking” report, which examined consumer snacking habits, including connection over calories and nostalgic bonding.
