Mondelēz International Takes Action to Support and Protect Communities During COVID-19 Crisis
March 23 2020 - 12:18PM
Mondelēz International, Inc. today announced it will donate $15
million in financial and in-kind support to community partners
advancing critical food stability and emergency relief efforts
across the world in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis.
“Managing through and recovering from this
global crisis will take everyone’s support and I am pleased we’re
standing up to advance relief efforts around the world,” said Dirk
Van de Put, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our purpose and
values as a company are rooted in doing what’s right for our people
and our communities and this $15 million global commitment will
help further the impactful work of local community partners
providing safety, security and assistance for the people who need
it most.”
Support for this program will come from the
Mondelēz International Foundation as well as global and local brand
initiatives. For instance, Mondelēz China has already donated
approximately $1 million in cash and in-kind donation value to
support relief efforts in the region, including the China Youth
Development Foundation. Other local business unit efforts will
follow.
The Mondelēz International Foundation connects
with at-risk communities around the world to promote healthy
lifestyles, working closely with public health and community
partners by:
- Investing in community programs that promote active, healthy
lifestyles to improve the lives of children and their families
around the world;
- Inspiring our team of nearly 80,000 to make a positive impact
with our global volunteer initiative #Impact4Good;
- Providing humanitarian aid through monetary contributions and
products to support disaster response and relief efforts.
