Mondelēz International Advances Progress Toward 2050 Net Zero Emissions Goal
13 Dezembro 2023 - 6:05PM
Mondelēz International (Nasdaq: MDLZ) today announced a significant
milestone toward its goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions
across its full value chain by 2050. After joining the Science
Based Targets Initiative (SBTi)’s Net Zero Carbon Ambition two
years ago, the Company has submitted a time-bound plan within
SBTi’s timeframe, consistent with the 1.5°C protocol. Achieving
this milestone includes providing documentation of the company's
carbon accounting, aligning to new standards, continuing to
transform its business operations and supply chains, and
transparently reporting progress. Furthermore, Mondelēz
International confirms a goal to seek no deforestation across the
company’s primary commodities by 2025, in accordance with European
Union Deforestation Regulation and SBTi guidance.
Mondelēz has made targeted investments and progress in three key
areas1:
- More Sustainable Ingredient
Sourcing: Working to advance deforestation-free supply
chains, reduce carbon emissions, accelerate regenerative
agriculture practices and support biodiversity.
- Cocoa – The
company continues to invest in regenerative farming practices by
further scaling farm mapping, farmer training and tree
distribution. As part of the Cocoa Life program, the company
trained ~220,000 farmers in Good Agricultural Practices,
distributed ~6.7 million trees and mapped ~246,000 farms across
Cocoa Life communities (as of 2022). As a founding company of the
Cocoa and Forests Initiative (CFI) in Ghana, the company has been
an active industry member of the landscapes initiative in the
Asunafo Region collaborating to implement climate-smart cocoa
production practices as well as agroforestry models.
- Wheat – Mondelēz
International implemented a strengthened charter of farming
practices in Europe, deeply rooted in regenerative agriculture, as
part of the company’s Harmony Ambition 2030. This includes working
with partner farmers to diversify crop rotation and integrating
decision tools to help optimize fertilizer use while piloting
trainings for farmers through the Harmony Academy platform, a
smartphone application encouraging the adoption of regenerative
agriculture practices and promoting soil health as well as through
the first-ever Harmony Tour, a dedicated training program on the
ground.
- Dairy – In Europe,
the company is working with several dairy suppliers on greenhouse
gas reduction programs at the farm level, already achieving
reductions of ~6-10% CO2e vs. their baselines.
- Operations:
Reducing the company’s global manufacturing footprint by
transitioning towards renewable electricity, improving
manufacturing plant efficiencies, and substituting cleaner energy.
- Renewable Electricity
- Advanced the use of renewable electricity across
Company-owned manufacturing facilities through power purchase
agreements (PPAs), on-site solar panels and renewable energy
credits (REC) sourcing from wind and solar power sources.
- Manufacturing Plant
Efficiencies - Initiated investments in several of the
Company’s European operations to expand state-of-the-art
manufacturing facilities and invest in newer technologies such as
electric ovens to reduce natural gas use.
- Transition to Bioenergy
- Substituted cleaner energy at some of the Company’s
operations.
- Logistics:
Focusing on investing in new mobility concepts, reducing warehouse
emissions by converting to renewable sources, and improving
efficiency of distribution networks by optimizing routes, improving
truck and container utilization, and reducing travel distances.
- Intermodal and Mobility
Concept Initiatives - Partnered with Indian Railways
and utilized coastal waterways network to improve distribution,
enabling CO2e emission reductions for select routes.
- Warehouse Emission
Reductions - Achieved CO2e emission reductions in one
of the Company’s largest distribution centers by installing solar
rooftop panels connecting to an existing electricity grid.
- Distribution
Efficiencies - Reduced Direct Store Delivery
transport idle time and improved vehicle fill rate across U.S.
Mondelēz distribution networks.
"We are actioning business transformation and
making strong progress, but the road to Net Zero requires global
collaboration across industries, sectors and landscapes to unlock
innovative and collaborative solutions allowing us all to go
further, faster," said Christine Montenegro McGrath, Senior Vice
President and Chief Global Impact and Sustainability Officer at
Mondelēz International. "We remain focused on leveraging proven
models and available solutions, while at the same time using our
scale and influence to help drive technical advancement,
public-private collaboration and investment to incubate
innovation."
In addition to these accomplishments, Mondelēz
International continues to explore collaborative financing and
innovation incubation through platforms like Sustainable Futures,
the Company’s impact investment platform, while advancing research
and development in climate-smart technology and practices to
implement at the sourcing level, across supply chain and in owned
operations and through to brand, packaging and consumption.
