24. This chart reflects the slate of eleven Director nominees for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (See Notice of 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and Annual Proxy Statement).
Information about our ESG goals, unless otherwise stated, (i) covers the annual reporting period from January 1 to December 31 of the stated year, (ii) includes manufacturing facilities under our direct and indirect control, (iii) excludes acquisitions since 2018, (iv) excludes Venezuela, and (v) excludes developed-market gum brands, which were divested as of October 1, 2023, in the United States, Canada and Europe. Where quantitative goals are linked to revenue, information is for Mondelez International revenue (excluding acquisitions since 2018 unless stated otherwise) except Venezuela, for which results are excluded from our consolidated financial statements. Where quantitative goals are linked to operations, information is for operations under the control of our integrated supply chain function (excluding acquisitions since 2018 unless stated otherwise); unless stated otherwise, data for external manufacturing includes estimates. Due to rounding, numbers presented in this report may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not reflect the absolute figures. Although the numbers presented in this report for this year’s performance are rounded, some of the prior years’ numbers were not rounded. Estimation is used in the reporting of some ESG data points, e.g., external manufacturing. The development of ESG reporting requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported figures at the date of publication during the reporting period. Historical, current and forward-looking sustainability-related information and statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future. The Company’s goals are aspirational in nature. We caution you that this information is approximate, that these statements and information are not guarantees of future performance, nor promises that our goals will be met, and are subject to numerous and evolving risks and uncertainties that we may not be able to predict or assess. In some cases, we may determine to adjust our commitments or goals or establish new ones to reflect changes in our business, operations or plans.
