Vision and Mission Statement of Cadbury’s First of all before discussing any topic we have to understand the vision and mission statement of Cadbury’s which tells about the whole goals and objectives of the company and it helps us to understand the whole .Topic easily and effectively. Vision Statement; Cadbury’s set out a vision to achieve “a Cadbury in every pocket” dream by increasing the penetration of chocolates.

Many of the newer Dairy milk varieties manufactured in the Ireland, Poland, , and Cadbury dairy milk itself is also manufactured in different types of chocolates and candies that make up the company Cadbury.

It means Cadbury analysis that which product is need to be more investment and which need to less and which product should have to phase out from the market due to less demand. For example in 2003 Cadbury’s made dairy milk chocolate into super brand, and introduce a lot of products under the dairy milk brand and wispa bars were phased out from market and replaced by dairy milk with bubbles.
