our efforts have primarily focused on cocoa and

approaches to identify potential human rights
impacts through our signature Cocoa Life program
and our Palm Oil Action Plan.
In 2016, we partnered with World Wildlife Fund

PALM OIL SUPPLY CHAIN

Mondelēz International is committed to sourcing
palm oil sustainably, and is collaborating with its
suppliers, the Consumer Goods Forum Forest Positive
Coalition of Action and Human Rights Coalition of
Action to help eradicate deforestation and human
rights violations in the palm oil supply chain.
Given the small proportion of the global palm oil

supply that we purchase, our direct impact on the
supply chain is limited. Therefore, we seek to use our
influence by engaging with stakeholders to support
the transition to sustainable practices across the
palm oil sector, as detailed in our Palm Oil Action
Plan. As of 2021, we have achieved the traceability of
