Below expectationsPending Review-3 since last review

Mondelēz has strong climate reporting infrastructure and SBTi-validated targets, but operational emissions rose 12.3% in 2024 despite supply-chain reductions. Nature exposure is severe—Rainforest Action Network gave it an 'F' for weak deforestation enforcement. Recent controversies include an EU antitrust fine, Russian operations boycotts, and undisclosed climate-hostile trade association memberships.
