"We firmly believe that we can grow our business, while improving the well-being of the planet. Through our Call For Well-being, we bring a business mindset and the power of our global resources together to drive change," said Irene Rosenfeld, Chairman and CEO. "We've made important progress against key metrics to reduce our environmental footprint, evolve the nutrition profile of our portfolio and secure sustainable agriculture supplies. Working together with employees, partners and suppliers, we can deliver enduring solutions for our business and society."
Launched in 2013, the company's Call For Well-being is focused on four areas that are critical to the well-being of the world and where Mondelez International can make the greatest impact: sustainability, mindful snacking, safety and community. Over the last year, the company has scaled its agricultural commodity sourcing programs, reduced its environmental footprint, increased portion control options to help consumers snack mindfully and united community partners, suppliers and employees to help drive positive change locally and globally.
Following are key highlights of the company's progress toward achieving its goals:
