Our take

Mondelēz International is one of the biggest names in global snacking, with a presence in over 150 countries and a workforce of around 80,000 people. The company is behind some of the world's most loved treats (like Oreos, Cadbury Dairy Milk, Toblerone, and Sour Patch Kids.

It's all about creating delicious products that millions of people enjoy every day, and the company combines iconic brands with deep consumer insights to stay ahead of changing tastes. Because of this, its work doesn't just stop at snacks; it invests in innovation, research, and sustainability to keep improving and growing.

Recently, the company opened a Consumer Research Centre in Bournville, complete with high-tech kitchens and over 50 expert chocolate tasters. At the same time, it's also beginning to phase out synthetic food dyes across its candies, responding to consumer demand for more natural ingredients. It's a smart step in the right direction and one that shows Mondelēz isn't just keeping up, but shaping the future of snacking.
