Shareowners: Cadbury has over 60,000 registered shareowners. These include private individuals as well as large institutional investors, such as pension funds and banks. All shareowners are also entitled to attend the Annual General Meeting, at which they have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss the company's performance and vote on certain issues. Customers: The Company has ongoing discussions with its customers. Wholesalers and retailers provide the vital link to consumers and it is they who make Cadbury Schweppes' brands widely available.

Suppliers (and business partners): Cadbury Schweppes has 40,000 suppliers around the world and its Ethical Sourcing Standards set out how to work with them. The company is in regular dialogue with its suppliers and responds to their suggestions. For example, if a supplier had views on ways of improving quality or efficiency then Cadbury Schweppes would listen and possibly act on ideas if they made good business sense. Working in partnership with suppliers makes it possible to find out their needs and also to ensure they satisfy Cadbury Schweppes' requirements for quality materials while operating in a socially responsible way. Cadbury Schweppes evaluates potential suppliers against a set of standards such as environmental protection and ethical labour practices prior to doing business with them and encourages their principles and standards to be upheld during the relationship. Employees: Cadbury Schweppes has a tradition of encouraging direct, two-way involvement and communication with employees. Managers hold regular individual and team meetings to inform colleagues about the business and hear their views. The company also conducts surveys to check how its employees feel about working at Cadbury Schweppes. Internal newsletters, a group website and many local websites help employees keep up to date with what is going on.

b) Secondary or indirect
Society: The Company regards itself as a citizen in the countries in which it operates and enters into regular dialogue with organisations such as national governments and international bodies. For example, the World Health Organisation (WHO) to discuss issues that affect the company. These issues can be anything from agricultural policy to education and skills. Government: Taxation, legislation, employment, truthful reporting, diversity, legalities, externalities. All businesses are affected by laws and legislation, and therefore governmental decisions impact on business functions. The government has an interest in businesses doing well as this helps to keep employment high and contributes to the Gross National Product (GNP). Media: Commercial appearance of the Cadburys new versions. Local Communities: All businesses must appreciate the role of the local community as a stakeholder. In order to operate effectively and be well accepted in the area, the organisation should be valued by the local community and help local people to understand why the company is beneficial to them. Finance Companies: Businesses need to maintain a good relationship with finance companies in case they need to borrow money. Finance companies need businesses like Cadbury to do well so that they can be sure that any money that they lend them will be paid back. Policy makers: These people or groups often have no official power they may be advisers to those with real power but their opinions and ideas are often followed closely. If theyre on your side, thats a big plus
