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.

  • 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.

Het uit de markt nemen van merken (‘delistings’) komt voort uit managementbeslissingen waarbij gewoonlijk niet naar de mening van de consument wordt gevraagd. EURIB/ European Institute for Brand management heeft besloten in de discussie over het uit de markt nemen van merken, de consument zelf eens aan het woord te laten. In een recent uitgevoerd onder- zoek stond de vraag centraal welke merken Nederlanders zouden missen als ze uit de markt zouden worden genomen. Aan 1.049 consumenten is voor 1.327 merken gevraagd in hoeverre ze als onmisbaar worden ervaren. Centraal in dit onderzoek staat de zogenoemde onmisbaarheidscore, het per- centage van de respondenten dat bij een merk heeft aangegeven het jammer te vinden als deze het komend jaar van de markt zou verdwijnen.
