  • Enel Green Power's Renewable Energy Is Part of the History of Mondelēz International's Business Unit in Mexico
    Media Relations T (55) 6200 3787 [email protected] enelgreenpower.com ENEL GREEN POWER'S RENEWABLE ENERGY IS PART OF THE HISTORY OF MONDELĒZ INTERNATIONAL'S BUSINESS UNIT IN MEXICO • Enel Green Power supplies up to 77 GWh annually to two Mondelēz International factories with wind energy from its 200 MW Amistad I wind farm located in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila. • Thanks to this relationship, Mondelēz International has avoided the emission of approximately 33,000 tons of CO2 per year. Mexico City, October 7th, 2020 – Enel Green Power México (EGPM), the renewables subsidiary of Enel Group, joins the celebration of the 8th anniversary of Mondelēz International in the country, by commemorating two years of successful collaboration through an electric power supply contract. Derived from this contract, Mondelēz International has received up to 77 GWh per year of renewable energy to its factories located in the State of Mexico and Puebla. Thanks to the renewable energy supplied by EGPM´s Amistad I wind farm; Mondelēz International has avoided the emission of around 33,000 tons of CO2 per year, equivalent to almost 80% of its emission reduction target for Latin America in 2020. Similarly, this energy is capable of producing approximately more than 100,000 tons annually of product from brands such as Halls, Trident, Bubbaloo, Oreo, Tang and Philadelphia and is enough to light approximately 33,000 Mexican homes for an entire year. “It is an honor for Enel Green Power México to contribute to Mondelēz International environmental objectives and efforts to accelerate energy transition in the country. Today more and more companies are convinced that renewable energies are not only sustainable, but also profitable, which is why this type of agreements serve as a relevant growth path for clean sources in Mexico”, stated Paolo Romanacci, Country Manager of Enel Green Power Mexico.

  • Case with Questions J Cadbury 1
    j Case with questions Cadbury 1 Cadbury is a very well known British confectionery company. Originally a family fi rm started by John Cadbury and grounded in Quaker values and ideals, it started life in 1824 as a shop selling chocolate as a virtuous alternative to alcohol. It went on to become a large-scale manufacturer of chocolate based at the now legendary Bournville factory, built in 1879, and its picturesque workers’ village with its red-brick terraces, cottages, duck ponds and wide open parks. Over the next 100 years Cadbury developed the products that have become so familiar: Dairy Milk in 1905, Milk Tray in 1915, Flake in 1920, Creme Egg in 1923, Roses in 1938 and more. From 1969 it traded as Cadbury Schweppes plc until, in 2008, it separated its global con- fectionery business (which retained the name ‘Cadbury’) from its US beverages business, which was renamed Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. Cadbury Schweppes had already sold off most of its beverages businesses in other countries around the world, a process started in 1999 and concluded in 2009 with the sale of its Australian beverages business. The reason for the exit from the beverages business was to enable Cadbury to focus more clearly on what it saw as its core strengths in confectionery, and better enhance shareholder value. Beverages had become the ‘poor sister’ in the relationship, with a separate management structure but delivering growth below the targets for the company. In 2008 the newly de-merged Cadbury set as its goal maintaining its market leadership position, and leveraging its scale and advantaged positions so as to maximise growth and returns.

The investment will make the world's best-selling cookie widely available to Morocco's 34 million people and expand the local biscuits market by generating more business for Mondelez International's Morocco trade partners.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor… The St. James Hotel in the 300 block of Magazine Street is one of New Orleans' luxurious boutique hotels. Located in the historic Banks’ Arcade, a three-story structure built by Thomas Banks in 1833, it is also home to the highly acclaimed Restaurant Cuvée. The first St. James Hotel was also situated in the Banks' Arcade, once the center of the Caribbean coffee and sugar trade in the 19th century. It had a glass-roofed court combined with an auction mart, a saloon and commercial features very much like a modern office building. Banks’ Arcade gained its renown as witness to one of the pivotal moments of the Texas Revolution. On October 13, 1835, powerful representatives of New Orleans mercantile houses met there and backed the Texian forces against General Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón, better known simply as Santa Anna. As a result, capital from the Crescent City ($250,000 in loans), along with New Orleans men and arms (two companies known as the New Orleans Greys), were sent to support Stephen Austin and others in Texas’ fight for independence. Recognizing the importance of securing both popular and financial support from New Orleans, this important group of financiers and businessmen formed the Committee on Texas Affairs. The New Orleans Greys took their name from their city of origin and the color of the uniforms they would wear. The members of the two companies formed that day would go on to write their names large across the battlefields of Texas, taking heavy losses at the Battles of Bexar, the Alamo and Goliad.
