ECONOMIC INCLUSION & SUPPLIER DIVERSITY

As a global leader of snacking, Mondelēz International believes the future of snacking is driven to simply do the right thing. From our makers, to our bakers, and even our order-takers, Mondelēz International is committed to invest and create jobs in the diverse communities where our employees and our customers live, work, socialize, and snack.

Economic Inclusion & Supplier Diversity

From sourcing the right ingredients, to innovating the right packaging, Mondelēz International has adopted a shelf-to-field approach that ensures Snacking Made Right. The recipe for success led to the formation of the Economic Inclusion and Supplier Diversity (EISD) program that empowers Mondelēz International to procure innovative, high-quality, cost-effective products and services from businesses who are at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by person(s) identified as women and minorities (defined as the following, depending on country guidelines and regulations: Ethnic, People with Disabilities, LGBTQ+, Veteran).

"Creating an inclusive and diverse supply chain is at the center of who Mondelēz International is and the communities we serve. Our Economic Inclusion & Supplier Diversity program supports this philosophy to spend with purpose in creating equitable and inclusive opportunities while driving innovative products and solutions to empower our customers to snack right."

Shaun Jones, Sr. Director - Global Economic Inclusion & Supplier Diversity
