MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL end approach to ensure that we are using natural resources more efficiently and renewably in our operations
We address the carbon footprint of our operations through initiatives that promote the use of renewable energy and measures for energy efficiency .
Our manufacturing plants across South Asia , China and Southeast Asia are powered by renewable energy sources such as solar or biogas . Two sites in India now secure 100 % of their electricity from renewable sources , while our sites in Malaysia , Indonesia and Thailand are now consuming between 20 % and 33 % of their electricity from renewable sources . Our Reduce , Reuse and Recycle strategy extends to supply chain logistics management practices . Our owned and third-party warehouses are powered by renewable energy which reduces our emissions from these facilities .
We also manage our water and waste as effectively as possible . In line with our goals to reduce water use , we support initiatives throughout our value chain to conserve water .
In India , we succeeded in saving approximately 29,000 m3 of water in the manufacturing process and additionally harvested 98,000 m3 of rainwater . We reduce the contribution of packaging to our carbon footprint by designing for circularity and making our packaging light and right .
