In a pioneering move within its strategy to create a sustainable and environmentally friendly future in the Egyptian and regional snacks sector, and as part of its journey to become an environmentally friendly facility with zero emissions, Mondelez Egypt announced the transition of its chocolate and biscuit factories in Tenth of Ramadan electricity supply to 100% renewable energy, replacing traditional electricity sources with green energy sources like wind and solar, through its cooperation with the New and Renewable Energy Authority.
This agreement falls within Mondelez Egypt’s firm commitment to sustainable development, aiming to support Egypt’s efforts in achieving the goals of Vision 2030, as well as contributing to environmental protection and promoting a green economy by leveraging renewable energy, in line with its global strategy.

Reducing carbon emissions and using renewable energy will help us reduce environmental impact and help build more resilient economies.
It is worth noting that Mondelez Egypt places sustainability as one of the core pillars of its strategy.
