Mondelez, the owner of Cadbury, is defending its decision to continue trading in Russia. The company faces criticism from some commentators and stakeholders for not leaving the Russian market after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, when other Western firms announced exits or major cutbacks. The reports note that Mondelez’s leadership, including chief executive Dirk Van de Put, has responded to questions about its presence in the country. The company’s position is presented as a response to the broader industry shift away from Russia, with its continued operations drawing scrutiny. While the coverage focuses on the criticism and the fact that Mondelez remains active there, it does not detail the specific operational arrangements or any changes since 2022 in the available excerpts. Overall, the articles describe a dispute over whether continued trading is consistent with Western corporate responses to the conflict and highlight Mondelez’s stated defense of its approach.
