Mondelēz International empowers people to snack right in over 150 countries around the world. We're leading the future of snacking with iconic global and local brands such as Oreo, belVita and LU biscuits; Cadbury Dairy Milk, Milka and Toblerone chocolate; Sour Patch Kids candy and Trident gum. We are one of the largest snack companies in the world with global net revenues of $25.9 billion and net earnings of $3.4 billion in 2018. At Mondelēz International, we believe that sustainable snacking is about creating a future where people and planet thrive. As a global food company, it is vital for us to secure sustainable supplies of key raw materials by empowering farmers and their communities to become more productive and climate-resilient, encouraging practices that respect land rights and investing in innovation and technology to increase transparency and measure impact at scale across our supply chain. We strategically continue to focus on where we can make the biggest impact. Our Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) helps to shape our priorities and goals. Insights from our LCA indicate that deforestation within our supply chain represents the largest single contributor to our end-to-end carbon footprint. Deforestation is a risk to the productivity of our raw material supply chains because of its contribution to global climate change as well as its impact on local weather patterns and ecosystem services in affected areas. But we cannot win the fight against deforestation alone. Action by individual companies must be scaled up to cover whole sectors, landscapes and countries. So, we fully support and encourage the sector-wide approach the Consumer Good Forum is pioneering for a #forestpositive future, one where suppliers adhere to consistent practices across their business models and land use is optimized across sectors with the support of producer governments. We are focused on making an impact at scale and transparency is at the core of our approach. Across the world, four raw materials are most commonly associated with tropical deforestation risk: beef, soy, palm oil and paper-based packaging. Within Mondelēz International, we also focus on cocoa and we do not buy beef. Data from our 2018 LCA show the contribution to emissions from land-use change for our cocoa, palm oil and soy that we buy directly, based on publicly available scientific datasets of sector averages for each raw material: - Cocoa and cocoa products: 3,857,000 tonnes CO2 - Palm oil: 278,000 tonnes CO2 - Other oils (inc. soy): 91,000 tonnes CO2 - Bought indirectly via dairy: 821,000 tonnes CO2 Cocoa and palm are the largest direct contributors and therefore, are where we advocate for systemic action that goes beyond our own supply chain to drive change across the sector as a whole. For example as part of our Cocoa Life commitment we’re asking our cocoa suppliers to be deforestation-free across their cocoa operations by 2025. See more details in the attached file When it comes to EU policy action to tackle deforestation Mondelēz International supports the adoption of harmonized due diligence legislation in the European Union. Such legislation would level the playing field and drive mainstream adoption of sustainable practices, by requiring all actors along the supply chain to identify and address human rights and environmental risks in their value chains. We have expressed our support for due diligence legislation publicly at high level EU institution events, in the media,in MDLZ Human Rights Due Diligence and Modern Slavery Report 2018 and as part of our contribution of the position of some of our key EU business associations such as CAOBISCO and FOODDRINKEUROPE and we've made a specific call for due diligence legislation in cocoa alongside other businesses and NGOs (https://www.voicenetwork.eu/2019/12/cocoa-companies-call-for-human-rights-and-environmental-due-diligence-requirements/)
