Sustainable development goes hand in hand with business development

In 2024, Mondelez Kinh Do was honored in the list of "Best Places to Work in Asia 2024" by HR Asia, recognizing outstanding and effective human resources policies and activities, demonstrating a commitment to developing a dynamic and diverse working environment.

As one of the leading enterprises in the snack food industry in Vietnam with famous and popular confectionery brands such as Kinh Do, Cosy, Solite, LU, Oreo..., Mondelez Kinh Do is always committed to sustainable development in its business strategy.

“Our company is a combination of a global corporation that is very closely connected to the local areas where we operate. We are committed to bringing the knowledge we have accumulated from around the world to develop the Vietnamese market in a responsible manner,” said Mr. Anil Viswanathan - CEO of Mondelez Kinh Do.

With the mission of leading the future of the snack industry by bringing consumers the right products, at the right time, produced according to Mondelēz International's standards, Mondelez Kinh Do's sustainable development strategy focuses on three pillars: Environmental responsibility (sustainable raw materials, sustainable packaging and sustainable energy), Economic development and People and community development.

To implement the sustainable ingredients initiative, Mondelez Kinh Do focuses on developing a comprehensive ecosystem for cage-free eggs. “This initiative is not only in line with global commitments on sustainable ingredients, but also addresses animal welfare and environmental issues, and has received strong support from environmentally-conscious consumers,” said Anil.

Mondelez Kinh Do is also a pioneer in using sustainable packaging. In Vietnam, as the demand for gift giving during the holidays continues to increase, it has become a strong trend, through continuously upgrading packaging quality and using environmentally friendly materials. Aiming for the goal of 100% recyclable packaging by 2025, Mondelez Kinh Do has strengthened cooperation with leading units in the field of paper packaging collection and recycling to promote a circular economy in the paper packaging sector.
