FOOTNOTES:
1. In the reporting year 2024, our annual GHG emissions were accounted following the GHG Protocol Corporate Standards and using the operational control approach. Reported information following Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) guidelines for near-term target excludes Capital Goods, Upstream Transportation and Distribution of Raw Materials, Employee Commuting, Downstream Transportation at Customer, and End of Life Treatment. The long-term target excludes these same categories, except for Upstream Transportation and Distribution of Raw Materials and Employee Commuting.
We have recalculated our base year 2018 and most recent years (2023 and 2024) inventory following the GHG Protocol Corporate Standards. Recent updates incorporate acquisitions Chipita and Ricolino. The footprint includes all acquisitions and divestitures to date except for Evirth. For more details, please see the Carbon Accounting Manual. Reported information is verified by an independent third-party and available in our ESG Reporting & Disclosure Reporting Archive.
In the context of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), an "absolute target" refers to a reduction in total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by a specific percentage or amount, measured against a baseline year, rather than a reduction per unit of production or activity.
2. In the reporting year 2024, our end-to-end annual GHG emissions were accounted following the GHG Protocol Corporate Standards and using the operational control approach. We have recalculated our base year 2018 and most recent years 2023 and 2024 inventory following the GHG Protocol Corporate Standards. Recent updates incorporate acquisitions Chipita and Ricolino. The footprint includes all acquisitions and divestitures to date except for Evirth (subject to future data integration). For more details, please see the Carbon Accounting Manual. Reported information is verified by an independent third-party and available in our ESG Reporting & Disclosure Reporting Archive.

We aim to complete re-baselining in 2025. Reported information includes estimation of volume based on cost to ton conversion.
7. Priority sites are defined as sites that are located in a high or extremely high water risk zone defined as of 2021. In 2024 all sites for the following acquisitions were assessed: Chipita, Clif bar, Give & Go, Gourmet Foods, Ricolino and Tate's Bake Shop except for Evirth (subject to future data integration). These sites were assessed using the Aqueduct tool from World Resources Institute and the priority sites identified were included in this metric.

*Information about our ESG goals, unless otherwise stated, (i) covers the annual reporting period from January 1 to December 31 of the stated year, (ii) includes manufacturing facilities under our direct and indirect control, (iii) excludes acquisitions since 2018, (iv) excludes Venezuela, and (v) excludes developed-market gum brands, which were divested as of October 1, 2023, in the United States, Canada and Europe. Where quantitative goals are linked to revenue, information is for Mondelēz International revenue (excluding acquisitions since 2018 unless stated otherwise) except Venezuela, for which results are excluded from our consolidated financial statements. Where quantitative goals are linked to operations, information is for operations under the control of our integrated supply chain function (excluding acquisitions since 2018 unless stated otherwise); unless stated otherwise, data for external manufacturing includes estimates. Due to rounding, numbers presented in this report may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not reflect the absolute figures. Although the numbers presented in this report for this year’s performance are rounded, some of the prior years’ numbers were not rounded. Estimation is used in the reporting of some ESG data points, e.g., external manufacturing. The development of ESG reporting requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported figures at the date of publication during the reporting period. Historical, current and forward-looking sustainability related information and statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future. The Company’s goals are aspirational in nature. We caution you that this information is approximate, that these statements and information are not guarantees of future performance, nor promises that our goals will be met, and are subject to numerous and evolving risks and uncertainties that we may not be able to predict or assess. In some cases, we may determine to adjust our commitments or goals or establish new ones to reflect changes in our business, operations or plans.
