Mondelez's Kinh Do prioritizes sustainability in all operational aspects
In the heart of Vietnam, Mondelez Kinh Do, a leading snack manufacturer, is making significant strides in sustainability and community development. The company's strategy is centred on integrating sustainable development deeply into its business model, emphasising circular economy principles, community support, and environmental stewardship, aligning with Vietnam’s green growth objectives.
Mondelez Kinh Do's factories in Hung Yen and Ho Chi Minh City are certified under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and FSSC 22000, demonstrating their commitment to quality, environmental management, and food safety. The company has also implemented advanced management systems and made significant investments to align these factories with international standards.
The Hung Yen plant, for instance, boasts a solar power system that generates millions of kWh of clean energy each year. Meanwhile, the Ho Chi Minh City plant has implemented automation solutions that have led to a 16.6% reduction in CO2 emissions, a 41.5% reduction in water usage, and a 25.4% decrease in food waste.
Mondelez Kinh Do's sustainability efforts extend beyond its factories. The company champions circularity in packaging through nationwide collection and recycling partnerships, while proactively implementing extended producer responsibility. They have also transitioned their packaging to recyclable materials and introduced innovations like plastic reduction, lower ink usage, and optimised package sizing, resulting in the removal of hundreds of tonnes of plastic annually.
Community responsibility is woven into the company's culture. Mondelez Kinh Do has donated 256 pre-loved laptops to Pacific Links Foundation and Saigon Children's Charity to support disadvantaged students. They are also collaborating with partners to drive livestock transformation, with a goal of fully using cage-free eggs in all products by 2030.
Understanding the heartfelt longing of those unable to celebrate Lunar New Year with their families, Mondelez Kinh Do continues its 'Loi Moi Sum Vay' campaign for 2025. The company's sustainability journey is shaped by every individual across the organisation, reflecting a commitment to creating long-term, tangible value for both the business and the community.
Mondelez Kinh Do's vision is to build a responsible supply chain and advance towards net zero. They are collaborating with Green Connect to recycle food waste into animal feed and produce cage-free eggs, creating a closed-loop system. The company has received numerous prestigious accolades for its sustainability and workforce development efforts, marking significant milestones in Vietnam's sustainability landscape.
