WHO WE ARE: OUR DELICIOUS WORLD

We’re a house of incredible brands. Our delicious products bring people together and nourish life’s moments in culturally relevant ways all around the world. Today we are working hard to make our delicious world a responsible one as well. A real world in which real people use real ingredients to make snacks we can all feel good about. Changing snacking one bite at a time. This is what “our world” is about. A beautifully (im)perfect iconic shape, made by hand just like our products.

WHAT WE STAND FOR: OUR PURPOSE AND MISSION
All around the world, the lines between meals and snacks are blurring. Snacking – those moments when you reach for a delicious bite in between meals – is on the rise. But there is also a universal cultural tension where people don't want to have to choose between snacking and eating right. That’s why, at Mondelēz International, we empower people to snack right. This is our Purpose.Every day, we are inspired to go the extra mile to lead the future of snacking around the world. We do this by offering the right snack, for the right moment, made the right way.
Our broad range of delicious snacks are what you need, when you need it. Every bite more satisfying knowing they are made with high-quality ingredients, in a way that enables people and planet to thrive through Sustainable Snacking. We do that by creating resilient ingredient supply chains, reducing our environmental impact and developing zero-net waste packaging. We’re producing our snacks with less energy, water and waste, and sourcing our ingredients more sustainably.
At Mondelez Philippines, our path to positive impact begins by collaborating with communities. Our experience shows we can make a greater impact by collaborating with organizations who share our passion to promote active, health lifestyles. In 2019, we were able to provide 4 Recycled Plastic Play Areas in our adopted Joy Schools using ecobricks. It provides alternative uses to materials like plastic packaging instead of being waste. Joy Schools Program is part of our commitment to community wherein we adopted public elementary schools around Metro Manila and supported them with different nutrition and wellbeing initiatives. Another action towards Sustainable Snacking is the Go Green Project in 2008 aims to reduce Mondelez Philippine’s use of resources inside its manufacturing plant and office. To date, our plant is operating using 100% sustainable geothermal energy and our facilities utilize solar street lamps and solatubes for natural lighting.
