Cadbury POLITICAL

Corporate Communications & Public Stance

• Mondelēz’s FY2024 Form 10-K described sales impacts in certain AMEA markets arising from the Hamas–Israel conflict during 2024, while stating that the impacts were not material to the group’s business, results, or financial condition ¹.

• The filing provides more detailed discussion of operations in Ukraine and Russia - including Ukrainian facility closures, repair and restart, suspended new capital investment and advertising in Russia, and country revenue figures - than of Middle East developments; this describes the filing’s content and does not establish a motive or policy preference ¹.

• Mondelēz states that it conducts annual human-rights risk assessments across its value chain and publishes annual human-rights due-diligence reports, but its cited human-rights page does not describe a conflict-specific Israel–Palestine due-diligence process ².

• Mondelēz’s 2024 proxy reported the company’s Russia disclosures and Ukraine-related humanitarian support, including a stated $15 million commitment through the Mondelēz International Foundation for Ukraine-related cash and in-kind support ³.

• The only located reference to Israel in the 2024 proxy was in a shareholder-proponent supporting statement about the company’s relationship with OHCHR, rather than a Mondelēz corporate statement, and the document search returned no match for “Palestine” ³.

Operations in Occupied or Contested Territories

• In April 2019, Mondelēz announced a collaboration with The Kitchen, which it described as an Israeli FoodTech incubator owned by Strauss Group and established under the Israel Innovation Authority incubator programme ⁴.

• Mondelēz said its R&D and SnackFutures teams would provide The Kitchen with technical and commercial expertise, access to technical centres and pilot plants, and internal specialists, while then-EVP Rob Hargrove joined the incubator’s advisory council ⁴.

• The 2019 announcement does not identify Cadbury UK Limited as a party, disclose a financial commitment, or establish whether the collaboration remains active ⁴.

• In November 2020, Mondelēz SnackFutures announced an undisclosed seed investment in Israeli FoodTech company Torr alongside The Kitchen Hub, stating that it followed the previously announced collaboration ⁵.

• The Torr announcement does not disclose the investment amount, ownership percentage, current status, or any exit ⁵.

• Diplomat Group states that it obtained exclusive distribution of Mondelez in Israel in 2009, but the cited corporate-history page does not establish the current contractual term, retailer list, territorial coverage, or whether the arrangement includes settlement retailers ⁶.

• Mondelēz states that its Jarosław, Poland facility supplies products to markets including Israel, without identifying the products, customers, volumes, destinations within Israel/Palestine, or whether supply remains current ⁷.

• In April 2026, Celleste Bio described Mondelēz as its strategic and design partner, stated that Mondelēz had used its cell-cultured cocoa butter to make nearly a dozen chocolate bars meeting Mondelēz product standards, and listed Mondelēz among its funders and partners ⁸.

• Celleste Bio’s release does not disclose Mondelēz’s investment amount or equity interest, test or production location, or use in a Cadbury-branded product ⁸.

• Mondelēz’s European-entities document lists a Mondelez Europe Services GmbH Israel branch at Rehov Hermon 6, Lod, while separately listing Cadbury UK Limited in the United Kingdom; it does not state that Cadbury UK operates the Israel branch, that the branch sells Cadbury products, or that it operates in occupied territory ⁹.

• No public evidence identified of a Cadbury UK Limited operation, facility, distributor, subsidiary, retail location, manufacturing site, or contract in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, or an Israeli settlement.

• Cadbury and Mondelēz were not listed in the supplied document-scoped full-text scan of UN report A/HRC/59/23 ¹².

• These document-scoped findings do not establish absence from every database iteration, from distributor operations, or from all potentially relevant settlement-related activity ^{10, 11, 12}.

• No public evidence identified of litigation, regulatory action, international-body scrutiny, settlement-origin labelling issues, or military procurement involving Cadbury or Mondelēz in the reviewed materials.

• No public evidence identified of Cadbury or Mondelēz platform, editorial, or algorithmic moderation activity relating to Israel–Palestine.

• No public evidence identified of regulatory action or public reporting concerning Cadbury product labelling, sourcing, or categorisation as settlement-origin goods.

• The reviewed SEC disclosure, OHCHR material, corporate releases, and targeted searches did not provide a supportable record of settlement-origin labelling or product-categorisation action involving Cadbury or Mondelēz ^{1, 10}.

Brand Heritage & State Partnerships

• Mondelēz identifies Cadbury as part of today’s Mondelēz International, confirming the continuing parent-brand relationship on its current corporate brand page ¹³.

• No public evidence identified that Cadbury branding uses Israeli military heritage, defence-sector affiliation, state-security origins, or a state-partnership identity.

• The Kitchen relationship was described by Mondelēz as a commercial food-technology collaboration under an Israel Innovation Authority incubator programme, rather than as a state honour, government-event sponsorship, military link, or “Brand Israel” campaign ⁴.

• The reviewed records do not establish that the collaboration represented a Cadbury-specific partnership with an Israeli state body ^{4, 13}.

Lobbying, Advocacy, Financing & Logistics

• Cadbury and Mondelēz do not appear in the BDS Movement’s published November 2024 corporate-priority-target guide, which is a finding about that guide rather than all BDS-affiliated or consumer boycott activity ¹⁴.

• No public evidence identified in the bounded review of an Israel/Palestine-related OECD National Contact Point proceeding, court case, parliamentary inquiry, regulatory action, PAC or lobbying filing, military-welfare or settlement financing, crisis-asset mobilisation, or executive-linked foundation grant involving Cadbury or Mondelēz.

• Mondelēz’s 2025 Form 10-K states that its consolidated financial statements include the registrant and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, subject to the filing’s stated Venezuela exception ¹⁹.

• The identified records characterise the Israel-related relationships as distribution, venture investment, and food-technology collaboration and do not evidence a state-held ownership interest, state-directed charter, or founding mandate tying Cadbury or Mondelēz to Israeli geopolitical objectives ^{4, 5, 6, 19}.

• No public evidence identified of a state-held or golden share, or of a charter provision assigning Cadbury UK Limited or Mondelēz a geopolitical or state-infrastructure mission.

• Rob Hargrove, then Mondelēz EVP for Research, Development and Quality, joined The Kitchen Advisory Council in connection with the 2019 collaboration ⁴.

• No public evidence identified in the bounded review of personal donations, foundation grants, pro-Israel or anti-BDS organisational roles, military-welfare fundraising, or defence and cyber investments by Cadbury or Mondelēz executives or controlling principals.
