Mondelez scored a 95 on the 2023 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), a political stakeholder group. By complying with the HRC’s controversial demands, Mondelez, the parent company of Nabisco, Cadbury, Oreo, and other food brands, increases the risk of dividing employees, alienating customers and harming shareholders. The company covers transgender-related medical costs for its employees and their children and provides specific sexual orientation and gender identity-based benefits. It also uses sex and gender ideology criteria in employee recruitment, vendor selection, marketing, and philanthropic support. Mondelez forces employees to undergo multiple ideological trainings and uses its reputation, corporate funds, and political influence to support controversial sex and gender ideologies, organizations, and legislation. Mondelez is part of the Global Alliance for Responsible Media that targets "hate speech" and does not provide viewpoint protections for its employees. The company made a $500,000 donation to the Black Lives Matter Global Network and the NAACP. Oreo made a $500,000 donation to PFLAG, prompting a shareholder proposal calling for Mondelez to analyze the risk of associating with ideological organizations. The company opposed various state and local legislation intended to protect parental rights, girls’ sports, bathroom facilities, and gendered spaces. Mondelez denounced various states’ legislative efforts to protect election integrity and security. The company is a member of the MCCA, indicating its focus on recruiting, retaining, and promoting employees based on race. For these reasons, Mondelez receives a High Risk rating.
