These conditions include global competition for resources; currency fluctuations; geopolitical conditions or conflicts (including the ongoing war in Ukraine and international sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of [removed: Ukraine);] [added: Ukraine, developments in the Middle East and rising tensions between China and Taiwan);] inflationary pressures related to domestic and global economic conditions or supply chain issues; transportation and labor disruptions; tariffs or other trade barriers; government intervention to introduce living income premiums or similar requirements such as those announced in 2019 in two of the main cocoa-growing countries; changes in environmental or trade policy and regulations, alternative energy and agricultural programs; severe weather; agricultural productivity; crop disease or pests; water risk; health [removed: pandemics including COVID-19;] [added: pandemics;] forest [removed: fires;] [added: fires and other natural disasters; acts of terrorism; cybersecurity incidents;] supplier capacity; and consumer or industrial demand.
If our mitigation activities are not effective, if we are unable to price to cover increased costs [added: (including if we are delayed in our ability to raise prices] or [added: unable to raise the prices of our products enough to keep up with the rate of inflation), if we] must reduce our prices, if increased prices affect demand for our [removed: products,] [added: products (including if consumers forego purchasing certain of our products] or [added: switch to “private label” or lower-priced product offerings), or] if we are limited by supply or distribution constraints, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and stock price can be materially adversely affected.
We are a global company and generated [removed: 73.6%] [added: 73.4%] of our [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] net revenues, [removed: 75.1%] [added: 73.6%] of our [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] net revenues and [removed: 73.2%] [added: 75.1%] of our [removed: 2020] [added: 2021] net revenues outside the United States.
In addition, increased political and economic changes or volatility, geopolitical regional conflicts, terrorist activity, political unrest, civil strife, acts of war, government shutdowns, travel or immigration restrictions, tariffs and other trade restrictions, public health risks or [removed: pandemics including COVID-19,] [added: pandemics,] energy policy or restrictions, public corruption, expropriation and other economic or political uncertainties, including inaccuracies in our assumptions about these factors, could interrupt and negatively affect our business operations or customer demand.
All of these factors could result in increased costs or decreased revenues and could materially and adversely affect our product sales, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, stock price, and our relationships with customers, suppliers and employees in the [removed: short] [added: short-] or [removed: long term.][added: long-term.]
We have discontinued new capital investments and suspended our advertising [removed: spending in Russia.]
As the business and geopolitical environment continues to change, our operations and activity in Russia, which accounted for [removed: 4.0%] [added: 2.9%] of [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] consolidated net revenues, or Ukraine, which accounted for [removed: 0.3%] [added: 0.4%] of [removed: 2022] [added: 2023] consolidated net revenues, may decline or be further scaled back.
[added: We might also face] questions or negative scrutiny from stakeholders about our operations in Russia despite our role as a food company and our public statements about Ukraine and Russia.
The war [removed: has materially disrupted] [added: continues to disrupt] commodity markets, including for wheat, energy and energy-related commodities, and [removed: is contributing] [added: continues] to [added: contribute to] supply chain disruption and inflation.
Other ongoing consequences of the war have included increased volatility of input prices, including for packaging materials, energy, commodities, other raw materials, labor and transportation; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; increased exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, including volatility of the Russian ruble; constraints, volatility or disruptions in the credit and capital markets; increased costs to ensure compliance with global and local laws and regulations; [added: difficulty protecting] and [added: enforcing our intellectual property rights; and] heightened risk to employee [removed: safety.][added: safety including health and safety risks related to securing and maintaining facilities.]
We operate in a highly competitive industry [removed: and] [added: where] we face risks related to the execution of our strategy [removed: and] [added: as well as] our [added: ability or willingness to respond,] timely [removed: response] [added: or otherwise,] to channel [removed: shifts and] [added: shifts,] pricing and other competitive pressures.
Our principal competitors [removed: include] [added: are] food, snack and beverage companies that operate globally, regionally and [removed: locally.][added: locally, and, in many markets, include retailers with their own branded and private label products.]
Failure to effectively respond to [added: actions, innovations or other] challenges from our competitors could adversely affect our business.
Competitor and customer pressures require that we timely and effectively respond to changes in [added: relevant markets, including changes to] distribution channels and technological [removed: developments that may require changes in our prices.][added: developments.]
These pressures could affect our [added: prices, including our] ability to [removed: increase prices] [added: price] in response to commodity and other cost increases.
Failure to effectively and timely assess new or developing trends, technological advancements [added: (including advancements such as artificial intelligence, machine learnings and augmented reality, which may become critical in understanding consumer preferences in the future)] or changes in distribution methods and set proper pricing, including as a result of inflation or weak economic conditions or recessions, or effective trade incentives could negatively impact [added: availability of or] demand for our products, our operating results, achievement of our strategic and financial goals and our ability to capitalize on new revenue or value-producing opportunities.
The rapid growth of some channels, such as discounters as well as digital commerce which has expanded significantly following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, may impact our current operations or strategies more quickly than we planned for, create consumer price [removed: deflation, alter the buying behavior of consumers or disrupt our retail customer relationships.]
We may need to increase or reallocate spending on existing and new distribution channels and technologies, marketing, advertising and new product innovation to [removed: protect] [added: maintain] or increase revenues, market share and brand significance.
During [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] we continued to operate under our strategy to drive long-term growth by focusing on four strategic priorities: accelerating consumer-centric growth, driving operational excellence, creating a winning growth culture and scaling sustainable snacking.
[removed: Failure] [added: Actual or perceived failure] to effectively address the continuing global focus on well-being, including changing consumer acceptance of certain ingredients, industrial manufacturing and processing, nutritional expectations of our [removed: products and] [added: products,] the sustainability of our ingredients, our supply chain [added: (including human rights] and [added: animal welfare issues) and] our packaging (including plastic packaging and its ability to be recycled and other environmental impacts) could adversely affect our brands.
[added: In the United Kingdom, a ban on specific types of TV and] online advertising of food containing levels of fat, sugar or salt above specified thresholds is expected to go into effect in October 2025, and new measures restricting certain promotions [removed: are expected to go] [added: and in-store placement of some of those products recently went] into [removed: effect in October 2023.][added: effect.]
[removed: Our product sponsorship] relationships, including those with celebrity spokespersons, influencers or group affiliations, could also subject us to negative publicity.
Weak economic conditions, recessions, inflation, equity market volatility or other factors, such as global or local [removed: pandemics and] [added: pandemics,] severe or unusual weather events, [added: and our response to political and social issues or catastrophic events,] may affect consumer preferences and demand in ways that are hard to predict.
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, rapid changes in lifestyles and consumption [removed: patterns,] [added: patterns] were accompanied by increased demand for biscuits and decreased demand for gum.
[added: Increasing] and disparate legal or regulatory restrictions on our labeling, advertising and consumer promotions, or our response to those restrictions, could limit our efforts to offer and deliver products that appeal to consumers.
For example, consumers have increasingly focused on well-being, including reducing sodium and added sugar [removed: consumption,] [added: consumption or using weight-loss drugs to reduce consumption overall or change consumption patterns,] as well as the source and authenticity of ingredients in the foods they consume.
[removed: Cybersecurity breaches of our or third-party systems,] [added: We leverage third parties for various technology and business services who may experience cybersecurity breaches,] whether from circumvention of security systems, denial-of-service attacks or other cyberattacks such as hacking, phishing attacks, computer viruses, ransomware or malware, cyber extortion, employee or insider error, malfeasance, social engineering, physical breaches or other actions or attempts to exploit vulnerabilities may cause confidential information or Personally Identifiable Information belonging to us or our employees, customers, [removed: consumers, partners, suppliers, or governmental or regulatory authorities to be misused or breached.]
These risks could be magnified since the number of employees, contractors and others working outside of offices increased [removed: as a result of] [added: since] the COVID-19 pandemic.
[removed: We also focus on] [added: Further, we have 24/7 security operations,] enhancing the monitoring and detection of threats in our environment, including but not limited to the manufacturing environment and operational technologies, as well as adjusting information security controls based on [removed: the updated threat.][added: our threat intelligence information.]
Due to the constantly evolving and complex nature of [removed: security threats,] [added: cyber threat actors,] we cannot predict the form and impact of any future incident, and the cost and operational expense of implementing, maintaining and enhancing protective measures to guard against increasingly complex and sophisticated cyber threats could increase significantly.
We utilize an interdependent supply chain – a complex network of suppliers and material needs, owned and leased manufacturing locations, external manufacturing partners, distribution networks, shared service delivery centers and information systems that support [removed: our ability to provide our products to our customers consistently.]
[added: Factors that are hard to predict or beyond our] control, like weather, natural disasters, water and energy availability, supply and commodity shortages, port congestions or delays, transport capacity constraints, terrorism, political unrest or armed hostilities (including the ongoing war in [removed: Ukraine),] [added: Ukraine and developments in the Middle East),] cybersecurity incidents, labor shortages, [removed: strikes,] [added: strikes or work stoppages,] operational and/or financial instability of our key suppliers and other vendors or service providers, government shutdowns or health [removed: pandemics such as COVID-19,] [added: pandemics,] including any potential impact of climate change on these factors, could damage or disrupt our operations or those of our suppliers, their suppliers, our external manufacturing partners, distributors or other business partners.
Our success depends, in part, upon our ability to identify suitable transactions; negotiate favorable contractual terms; comply with applicable regulations and receive necessary consents, clearances and approvals (including regulatory and antitrust clearances and [removed: approvals);] [added: approvals that may face increased scrutiny);] integrate or separate businesses; manage or achieve performance of ESG goals and initiatives; realize the full extent of the benefits, cost savings or synergies presented by strategic transactions; offset loss of revenue associated with divested brands or businesses; effectively implement control environment processes; minimize adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; achieve accurate estimates of fair value; minimize potential loss of customers or key employees; and minimize indemnities and potential disputes with buyers, sellers and strategic partners.
Equity investments such as our investments in JDE Peet’s N.V. [removed: and Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.,] joint [removed: ventures] [added: venture] and other strategic alliances pose additional risks, as we could share ownership in both public and private companies and in some cases management responsibilities with one or more other parties whose objectives for the alliance may diverge from ours over time, who may not have the same priorities, strategies or resources as we do, or whose interpretation of applicable policies may differ from our own.
[removed: Depending on the nature of the] business ventures, including whether they operate globally, these ventures could also be subject to many of the same risks we are, including political, economic, regulatory and compliance risks, currency exchange rate fluctuations, and volatility of commodity and other input prices.
[added: Either partner might fail to] recognize an alliance relationship that could expose the business to higher risk or make the venture not as productive as expected.
Further, developing and collecting, measuring and reporting ESG-related information and metrics can be costly, difficult and time consuming and is subject to evolving reporting standards, including [added: recent legislation in California related to reporting greenhouse gas emissions and climate-related financial risk,] the SEC’s proposed climate-related reporting requirements, and similar proposals by other international regulatory [removed: bodies.][added: bodies such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive in the European Union, especially to the extent these standards are not harmonized or consistent.]
If our sustainability practices do not meet evolving investor or other stakeholder expectations and [removed: standards,] [added: standards or if we are unable to satisfy all stakeholders,] our reputation, our ability to attract or retain [removed: employees] [added: employees, our sales] and our attractiveness as an investment, business partner or as an acquiror could be negatively impacted.
Similarly, our failure or perceived failure to pursue or fulfill our goals, targets and objectives, to comply with ethical, environmental or other standards, regulations or expectations, or to satisfy various reporting standards with respect to these matters, within the timelines we announce, or at all, could have the same negative impacts, as well as expose us to government enforcement [removed: actions] [added: actions, fines] and private litigation.
Decreased agricultural productivity caused by climate change [removed: might] [added: has and in the future may continue to] limit the availability of the commodities we purchase and use and increase the costs of such products.

deflation, alter the buying behavior of consumers or disrupt our retail customer relationships.
Further, our ability to compete may be limited by an inability to secure new retailers or maintain or add shelf and/or retail space for our products.
There can be no assurance that retailers will provide sufficient, or any, shelf space, nor that online retailers will provide online access to, or adequate product visibility on, their platform.
Unattractive placement or pricing may put our products at a disadvantage compared to those of our competitors.
Even if we obtain shelf space or preferable shelf placement, our new and existing products may fail to achieve the sales or pricing expectations set by our retailers, potentially causing these retailers to remove our products from their shelves.

consumers, partners, suppliers, or governmental or regulatory authorities to be misused or breached.
Cyber threats to externally-hosted technology and business services are beyond our control.
Furthermore, the rapid evolution and increased adoption of artificial intelligence technologies may intensify our cybersecurity risks.
We continue to invest and augment our cybersecurity program and posture with enhanced identity and access management solutions, multi-factor authentication, risk-based access for remote connectivity, privileged access management, network security, backup and disaster recovery, training and awareness, in addition to advance threat protection emanating from sophisticated, persistent and state-sponsored threat actors, including from internet browsing to email, further reducing our attack surface and likelihood of credential thefts and compromise.
Laws recently passed in other jurisdictions, such as the Personal Information Protection Law of 2021, enacted in China, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act of 2023, enacted in India, similarly impose significant regulatory requirements.
In addition, similar legislation in Virginia, Colorado, Utah and Connecticut, all of which have gone into effect or will go into effect during 2023, impose transparency and other obligations with respect to personal data of their respective residents and provide residents with similar rights.

For example, in 2022 we acquired Chipita, Clif Bar and Ricolino and in 2023, we completed the sale of our developed market gum business in the United States, Canada and Europe and sold our remaining equity investment in Kuerig Dr Pepper Inc.

We might also face
We might not be able to predict or respond to all impacts on a timely basis to prevent near- or long-term adverse impacts to our results.
Any of these disruptions could have a negative impact on our business operations, financial performance, results of operations and stock price, and this impact could be material.
Global or regional health pandemics or epidemics, including COVID-19, could negatively impact our business operations, financial performance and results of operations.
Our business and financial results could be negatively impacted by COVID-19 or other pandemics or epidemics.
The severity, magnitude and duration of global or regional pandemics or epidemics are uncertain and hard to predict.
Since 2020, COVID-19 has significantly impacted economic activity and markets around the world, and it could negatively impact our business in numerous ways.
For example, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted and could materially disrupt our global supply chain, operations and routes to market or those of our suppliers, their suppliers, our external manufacturing partners, distributors or other business partners.
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in broader supply, transportation and labor disruptions resulting in inflation and generally higher operating costs in our business.
Relatedly, commodity and transportation costs have become more volatile and generally increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions, and transportation and labor shortages.
Additionally, government or regulatory responses to pandemics could negatively impact our business.
Mandatory lockdowns or other restrictions on operations in some countries temporarily disrupted our ability to distribute our products in some markets.
Resumption, continuation or expansion of these disruptions could materially adversely impact our operations and results.
These and other impacts of the COVID-19 or other global or regional health pandemics or epidemics could have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the risk factors presented in this filing, including but not limited to those relating to our reputation, brands, consumer preferences, supply chain, product sales, pricing actions, results of operations or financial condition.
The ultimate impact of these disruptions also depends on events beyond our knowledge or control, including the duration and severity of the COVID-19 and other pandemics or epidemics and actions taken by parties other than us to respond to them, and in the case of COVID-19, on the emergence and spread of COVID-19 variants and the effectiveness of vaccines.
In the United Kingdom, a ban on specific types of TV and
Restrictions on in-store placement of some of those products went into effect in October 2022.

We believe that these capabilities provide insights and visibility to the security posture of our third-party service providers, however, cyber threats to those organizations are beyond our control.
We continue to devote focused resources to network security, backup and disaster recovery, enhanced training and other security measures to protect our systems and data, such as advanced email protection to reduce the likelihood of credential thefts and electronic fraud attempts.
In addition, the California Privacy Rights Act, which grants a private right of action to individuals and expands rights and obligations, and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act became effective on January 1, 2023, and the Colorado Privacy Act will enter into effect on July 1, 2023.

Such transactions and investments present significant challenges and risks.
Either partner might fail to

might seek to hire, including in response to changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, with respect to flexible working or other matters.
On-site quality audits of third parties such as suppliers, external manufacturers and trademark licensees have been limited in some instances by travel restrictions and heightened safety protocols in light of COVID-19, and remote audits do not fully offset risks from the inability to conduct on-site audits.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, implements a 15% minimum tax on book income of certain large corporations, a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases and several tax incentives to promote clean energy.
We also continue to monitor countries’ progress toward enactment of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development’s model rules on a global minimum tax.
During December 2022, the European Union reached agreement on the introduction of a minimum tax directive requiring each member state to enact local legislation.
Additionally, South Korea became the first country to enact minimum tax rules, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2024.
These specific actions did not impact our consolidated financial statements in 2022, but future enacted legislation in this area could have a material effect on us if enacted.

[removed: *Demand* –] We monitor consumer spending and our market share within the food and beverage categories in which we sell our products.
[removed: *Long-Term Demographics and Consumer Trends* –] Snack food consumption is highly correlated to GDP growth, urbanization of populations and rising discretionary income levels associated with a growing middle class, particularly in emerging markets.

We continue to support our Ukraine employees, including paying salaries to those not yet able to return to work until full production returns.
Our Russian net revenues declined in 2023 due to continued suspension of advertising as well as currency weakness.
Despite the decrease in revenues, the profitability of our Russian business in 2023 remained above historical levels.

Developments in the Middle East
In October 2023, conflict developed in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel, and conflict has expanded throughout the region.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, we experienced minor sales impact related to this conflict in certain AMEA markets, but this did not have a material impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
We continue to evaluate the impacts of these developments on our business and we cannot predict if it will have a significant impact in the future.
On October 1, 2023, we completed the sale of our developed market gum business to Perfetti Van Melle Group, excluding the Portugal business which we retained pending regulatory approval.
After obtaining the regulatory approval, we completed the sale of the Portugal business to Perfetti Van Melle Group on October 23, 2023.
Investment Transactions
We recorded a loss of €21 million ($23 million).
In 2023, we sold the remainder of our shares in KDP, representing approximately 76 million shares.
Our reduction in ownership to below 5% eliminated our significant influence over KDP, resulting in a change in accounting from equity method investment accounting to accounting for equity interests with readily determinable fair values in the first quarter of 2023.
Prior to this change, we recorded a pre-tax gain on equity method transactions of $493 million ($368 million after-tax)- in 2023.
After the change in accounting, we recorded pre-tax gains for marketable securities of $606 million in 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, numerous countries have now enacted the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development’s model rules on a global minimum tax, with the earliest effective date being for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2023.

- Organic Net Revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 14.7% to $35.6 billion in 2023 and increased 12.3% to $31.7 billion in 2022.
These favorable items were partially offset by higher acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments, higher equity method investee items, higher negative initial impacts from enacted tax law changes, higher remeasurement loss of net monetary position, lower operating results from divestitures, higher divestiture-related costs, lapping prior year 2017 malware incident net recoveries and higher Simplify to Grow program costs.

Throughout the pandemic, we experienced an overall increase in demand and revenue growth as consumers increased their food purchases for in-home consumption in some markets, while parts of our business were negatively affected by related lockdowns and restrictions.
In February 2022, Russia began a military invasion of Ukraine.
We are providing all of our employees with compensation and with help in securing shelter in neighboring countries, where required and needed.
We have also made cash and in-kind donations to several humanitarian aid organizations in the region.
In March 2022, our two Ukrainian manufacturing facilities in Trostyanets and Vyshhorod were significantly damaged.
During the remainder of 2022, the war continued through parts of Ukraine.
We continue to make targeted repairs on both our plants.
We relaunched our systems and implemented additional safety and security measures.
In late June, we partially reopened the Vyshhorod plant and restarted limited potato chip production and in late November, we reopened the Trostyanets plant and restarted limited chocolate production.
As a food company, we continue to work to support the continuity of food supply and provide packaged foods to consumers.
We are complying and will comply with applicable international sanctions

and other measures that have been or may be imposed on Russian entities.
Our Russian business has grown as a result of the recent strengthening of the Russian ruble versus the U.S. dollar, underlying trends of consumers toward snack and packaged food categories and increased price.
The combination of pricing, volume growth, suspension of advertising and ruble strength has resulted in a significant increase in the profitability of the Russian business and contributed to the growth of our consolidated performance.
Our decision to suspend new capital investments in Russia has not had a material impact on our ability to meet demand within our Russian business during 2022.
We believe the war in Ukraine has had a negative impact on our business throughout the rest of our Europe operating segment, but the impact of this is difficult to quantify.
We provide more information on risks related to the war in Ukraine in our Financial Outlook and Commodity Trends section, Item 3, Qu*antitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk,* and under Item 1A, *Risk Factors*.
In 2020, we exchanged our 26.4% ownership interest in JDE for a 26.5% equity interest in JDE Peet’s, which was then taken public.
During the initial public offering, we sold approximately 11.1 million shares, recording a pre-tax gain of $131 million and a $250 million tax expense and reducing our ownership interest to 22.9%.
We recorded a pre-tax gain of $865 million (or $662 million after-tax).
Highly Inflationary Accounting
*Türkiye.* During the first quarter of 2022, we concluded that Türkiye became a highly inflationary economy for accounting purposes.
As of April 1, 2022, we began to apply highly inflationary accounting for our subsidiaries operating in Türkiye.
U.K. advertising and promotion ban
In the United Kingdom, a ban on specific types of TV and online advertising of food containing levels of fat, sugar or salt above specified thresholds is expected to go into effect in October 2025, and new measures restricting certain promotions are expected to go into effect in October 2023.
Restrictions on in-store placement of some of those products went into effect in October 2022.
Although we are unable to estimate precisely the impact of the restrictions, they did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements in 2022.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which, among other things, implements a 15% minimum tax on book income of certain large corporations, a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases and several tax incentives to promote clean energy.
We will continue to evaluate it as additional guidance and clarification becomes available.
We also continue to monitor countries’ progress toward enactment of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development’s model rules on a global minimum tax.
During December 2022, the European Union reached agreement on the introduction of a minimum tax directive requiring each member state to enact local legislation.
Additionally, South Korea became the first country to enact minimum tax rules, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2024.
These specific actions did not impact our consolidated financial statements in 2022 but future enacted legislation in this area could have a material effect on us, if enacted.
- Organic Net Revenue increased 12.3% to $32.2 billion in 2022 and increased 5.1% to $27.9 billion in 2021.
year loss on interest rate swaps, lower losses on debt extinguishment and related expenses, lower Simplify to Grow program costs and a net benefit from acquisition integration costs and contingent consideration adjustments.
These factors were partially offset by a lower gain on equity method investment transactions, higher initial impacts from enacted tax law changes, lower net earnings from divestitures, lapping the prior-year benefit from the resolution of tax matters and higher impact from pension participation changes.
–Adjusted EPS increased 3.5% to $2.95 in 2022 and increased 12.2% to $2.85 in 2021.
Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EPS on a constant currency basis are non-GAAP financial measures.

We work to understand consumer needs and deliver snacks with consistent quality and taste.
We continue to invest in a global network of technical centers to research and support our growth while continuing to innovate our processes.
We work to introduce new varieties of our core products, including new taste or nutrition profiles based on consumer preferences, such as *Cadbury Dairy Milk* chocolate bars with 30% less sugar, Sugar-free and Gluten-free *Oreos* and the *Cadbury Plant Bar*, a vegan (100% plant-based) sustainably-sourced cocoa chocolate bar wrapped in plant-based packaging.
Due to factors noted above, the costs of our principal raw materials can fluctuate.
Commodity costs have primarily increased due to recent supply chain disruptions.
We expect commodity cost volatility to continue, and our commodity hedging activities cannot fully offset this volatility.
Despite the recent and expected supply chain, transportation and labor disruptions, at this time we believe there will continue to be an adequate supply of the raw materials we use and that they will generally remain available.
However, we continue to monitor the near-term and long-term impacts of the pandemic, geopolitical conditions, supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, climate change and related factors that could affect the availability or cost of raw materials, packaging and energy.
For information on our ongoing sustainability efforts and programs, refer to *Sustainability and Mindful Snacking* below.
Beyond this, diversity is a strength that drives innovation and growth, and we strive to champion diversity, inclusion, and economic empowerment.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will continue to take appropriate measures in our facilities including implementing temperature screening, social distancing, mask-wearing and work-from-home policies where applicable and in accordance with state and local guidelines.
*Diversity, Equity & Inclusion*: Diversity, equity & inclusion (“DE&I”) significantly contributes to our winning growth culture.
We work to reflect the diversity of ideas and people in our world and to maximize the power and potential of our employees.
In addition, we have many communities and sponsored programs tailored for our diverse workforce, including those that foster gender and race equality.
In September 2020, we announced our goal to double Black representation in our U.S. management team by 2024.
Our DE&I commitment is led from the top and driven throughout the organization by our Management Leadership Team, Board of Directors and Mondelēz Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Steering Committee.
As an important step in our DE&I journey, we established a team, including C-suite officers, our Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, and other key senior leaders, charged with collectively setting the strategy and DE&I commitments across the organization.
As a global employer, we recognize and value differences and are championing DE&I around the world.
We are creating local and global opportunities to further racial equity and economic empowerment by expanding our DE&I initiatives across three key areas: colleagues, culture and communities.
These opportunities include mobilizing our consumer-facing brands and leveraging our partnerships with agencies and advertising platforms to drive change, equity and inclusion.
Additionally, we understand the importance of maintaining competitive compensation, benefits and appropriate training that provides growth, developmental opportunities and multiple career paths within the Company.
We believe this reflects our ongoing efforts to focus on our employees, their well-being and the issues that matter to them.
In 2022, we had over 16,000 colleagues actively participating in training that supported their well-being and provided them with new tools and resources to support remote work.
We also launched initiatives to further agile ways of working and streamline decision-making processes to enhance productivity and employee engagement.
We continue to build a winning growth culture and continue our commitment to work on the areas that matter to our people and build on our momentum.
In 2022, we expanded our Employee Assistance Programs to reach all global colleagues.
We anticipate this gap will further decrease through pay adjustments for employees identified during the review.
At our 2022 investor update, we unveiled the evolution of our growth strategy elevating sustainability as a fourth pillar in our long-term growth strategy now sitting alongside growth, execution and culture.
In 2022 we made progress against these goals, such as expanding our signature raw material sourcing programs.
In 2022 we announced the next phase of Cocoa Life backed by an additional $600 million investment through 2030, for a total $1 billion investment since the start of the program.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
0 rewritten, 55 added, 0 removed, 0 unchanged
New section this year
We are committed to our goal to protect sensitive business-related and personal information, as well as our information systems.
Due to the size and scope of our global operations, we are subject to numerous and evolving cybersecurity risks that could adversely and materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Management Leadership Team, with oversight from the Board of Directors, has implemented a comprehensive cybersecurity program, including incident response process, aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and NIST Computer Security Incident Handling Guide (NIST SP 800-61) to assess, identify, address and manage risks from cybersecurity threats that may result in material adverse effects on the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our business and information systems.
Governance
Our Board of Directors and Management Leadership Team review cybersecurity risks as part of their oversight and execution of the Company’s business operations and strategy.
We have established oversight mechanisms intended to provide effective cybersecurity governance, risk management, and timely incident response.
*Board of Directors Oversight*
Our Board, in coordination with the Audit Committee, oversees the Company’s enterprise risk management process, including the management of risks arising from cybersecurity threats.
Our Board has delegated the primary responsibility to oversee cybersecurity matters to the Audit Committee.
Both the Board and the Audit Committee periodically review the measures we have implemented to identify and mitigate data protection and cybersecurity risks.
As part of such reviews, our Board and Audit Committee receive periodic reports and presentations from members of the team responsible for overseeing cybersecurity risk management, including our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), which may address a wide range of topics including recent developments, evolving standards, vulnerability assessments, third-party and independent reviews, technological trends and information security considerations arising with respect to our peers and third parties.
Members of our Management Leadership Team also report to the Board at least annually on data protection and current internal and external developments in cybersecurity, as part of the Board’s enterprise risk management review, and the Board receives reports of Audit Committee discussions regarding its oversight of cybersecurity risk.
We have protocols by which certain cybersecurity incidents that meet established reporting thresholds are escalated internally and, where appropriate, reported to the Audit Committee or the Board in a timely manner.
*Management Role in Cybersecurity Risk Management*
At the management level, our CISO has extensive cybersecurity knowledge and skills gained from over 20 years of work experience at Mondelēz and other major consumer goods and financial services companies.
Our CISO currently reports to our Chief Financial Officer and has operational responsibility for our information security programs, protections, and efforts, along with leading the team responsible for implementing, monitoring, and maintaining cybersecurity and data security strategy, policy, standards, architecture, and practices across our business.
Our CISO is supported by a team of enterprise information system security and risk professionals, including regional information security officers responsible for overseeing cybersecurity strategy and operations in each business unit.
Our CISO receives reports on cybersecurity threats on an ongoing basis and regularly reviews risk management measures implemented by the Company to identify and mitigate data security and cybersecurity risks.
Our CISO updates the Management Leadership Team on these matters and works closely with Corporate and Legal Affairs to oversee compliance with legal, regulatory, and contractual security requirements.
*Cybersecurity Steering Committee*
Our Cybersecurity Steering Committee currently includes our CEO, CFO, CISO, General Counsel and Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer and has broad oversight of our cybersecurity risk management processes, in coordination with the rest of the Management Leadership Team and the Board.
The Cybersecurity Steering Committee has been established to meet and to discuss our cybersecurity risk management measures designed to identify and mitigate
| | | | | | | | | |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | 27 | | |  | | |
data protection and cybersecurity risks, along with procedures and practices related to incident response, including escalation and notification.
Risk Management and Strategy
Cybersecurity risk management is overseen both as a critical component of our overall risk management program and as a standalone program.
We have implemented a risk-based, cross-functional approach to identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and incidents, while also implementing controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner.
Our cybersecurity program is designed to leverage people, processes, and technology to identify and respond to cybersecurity threats in a timely manner.
Our vendor cybersecurity risk management program supports the planning, automation, and management of cybersecurity risk with enrolled suppliers and other third parties, focusing on risk-based assessments.
Our employees undergo annual security awareness training to enhance their understanding of cybersecurity threats and their ability to identify and escalate potential cybersecurity events.
We also employ systems and processes designed to oversee, identify, and reduce the potential impact of a security incident at a third-party vendor, service provider or customer or otherwise implicating the third-party technology and systems we use.
We assess, identify, and manage risks from cybersecurity threats through various mechanisms, which may include tabletop exercises to test our preparedness and incident response process, business unit assessments, control gap analyses, threat modeling, penetration tests, vulnerability scanning, internal audits, and external audits of our cybersecurity program.
We also leverage assessors, consultants, auditors and third-party service providers, including threat intelligence to inform our understanding of the cybersecurity threat landscape and enable risk-based measures to defend against evolving threats.
*Incident Response*
We have a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan (“CSIRP”) to provide the organizational and operational structure, processes, and procedures for investigating, containing, documenting and mitigating cybersecurity incidents, including keeping senior management and other key stakeholders informed and involved as appropriate.
Our Cybersecurity Incident Response Team manages and executes technical response activities in coordination with our Security Operations Center, subject matter experts and others to respond to a cybersecurity incident.
The objectives of the CSIRP include to:
- Establish the Company’s cybersecurity incident response process and provide actionable guidelines to provide a timely, consistent, and repeatable response process;

As described in the Report of Management on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Chipita Global S.A. (“Chipita”), Clif Bar & Company (“Clif Bar”), and Ricolino from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 because they were acquired by the Company in purchase business combinations during 2022.
We have also excluded Chipita, Clif Bar, and Ricolino from our audit of internal control over financial reporting.
Chipita, Clif Bar, and Ricolino are wholly-owned subsidiaries whose total assets and total net revenues excluded from management’s assessment and our audit of internal control over financial reporting collectively represent 1.2% and 3.5%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022.

*Acquisition of Clif Bar - Valuation of the Clif Trade Name*
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, on August 1, 2022, the Company acquired Clif Bar for purchase price consideration of $2.6 billion.
Of the acquired indefinite life intangible assets, management allocated $1.45 billion to trade names, which primarily relate to the Clif trade name.
The fair value for the Clif trade name was determined using the relief from royalty method.
Significant assumptions used by management in assessing the fair value include estimates of future sales, discount and royalty rates.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the Clif trade name acquired in the acquisition of Clif Bar is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value of the Clif trade name acquired; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to estimates of future sales, discount and royalty rates; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statement.
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls related to acquisition accounting, including controls over management’s valuation of the Clif trade name acquired and controls over the development of significant assumptions related to estimates of future sales, discount and royalty rates.
These procedures also included, among others (i) reading the purchase agreement; (ii) testing management’s process for developing the fair value of the Clif trade name acquired; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the relief from royalty method; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to estimates of future sales, discount and royalty rates.
Evaluating management’s significant assumption related to estimates of future sales involved evaluating whether the assumption used by management was reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the Clif Bar business; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether this assumption was consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the Company’s relief from royalty method and (ii) the reasonableness of the discount and royalty rate significant assumptions.

In March 2020 and subsequently in January 2021 and December 2022, the FASB issued ASUs to provide optional accounting guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform.
The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions to existing accounting requirements for contract modifications and hedge accounting related to transitioning from discontinued reference rates, such as LIBOR, to alternative reference rates, if certain criteria are met.
The new accounting requirements can be applied as of the beginning of the interim period including March 12, 2020, or any date thereafter, through December 31, 2024.
