California AB-1305 Compliance

CLIF, a Mondelēz International brand, is providing the following information in accordance with California Assembly Bill 1305, the Voluntary Carbon Market Disclosures Business Regulation Act to clarify all claims made regarding our use of the term “climate neutral”.

CLIF is working to take responsibility for our climate impact by:

  • Working towards the Mondelēz science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from direct operations (scope 1 and 2) and supply chain (scope 3) and working to reach net-zero emissions by 2050,
  • Ongoing efforts to reduce emissions (e.g., reducing energy use, investing in on-site and offsite renewable electricity, engaging supply chain partners to reduce emissions of purchased goods and services); and
  • Participating in the voluntary carbon market by supporting projects that avoid emissions beyond CLIF brand operations and value chain to support global net-zero efforts.

Purchased carbon credits are not subtracted from or applied to the Mondelez annual GHG inventory.

CLIF KID - Climate Neutral Certification

Aligned with these efforts, CLIF KID is a Climate Neutral certified brand. The Climate Neutral Certification is a globally recognized standard for carbon accountability and is maintained by an independent, nonprofit organization called The Change Climate Project (TCCP). The Climate Neutral standard is designed to ensure the integrity of climate action and GHG measurements of organizations that participate in the certification program.

Achievement of this certification indicates that the CLIF brand measures and reports annual GHG emissions from the production and shipping (cradle to customer) of the CLIF KID brand products per current GHG Protocol methodology and undergoes a verification audit by an independent, third-party organization. The certification also requires that the CLIF brand work toward science-aligned emissions reduction targets, reduction plans in place, and contributes to global GHG reduction efforts by supporting projects beyond our operations and value chain that avoid emissions.
