Every day, our products bring pleasure and satisfaction to billions of people and pets around the world.
Our foods help provide nutritious meals, while our chocolate and confectionery can provide a tasty treat as part of a healthy, balanced diet. By sourcing our ingredients responsibly, we help provide an income for farmers and producers worldwide. Our factories are committed to manufacturing our products responsibly by reducing their waste, energy and water use.
We are proud of the quality of our products and never stop seeking ways to improve consumers’ experience of our brands. In addition, we want to harness people's enthusiasm for our brands to encourage them to support good causes. One example is the PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive®, which supports animal shelters and finds families for homeless pets.
We also aim to help people minimize the impacts of using and disposing of our products and packaging. The areas where we can best achieve this are:
- Reducing the energy needed to use our products
- Reducing, rethinking and enabling the recycling of our packaging
- Educating consumers about responsible disposal
- Educating consumers about responsible pet ownership
As part of our approach, we are working with retail and industry partners to amplify the impacts of our initiatives. For example, we partner with TerraCycle and Mitz, organizations that produce consumer goods by repurposing surplus and used packaging from more than 20 Mars brands.
We recognize that the scope of our work with consumers and products has opportunities for further development. In the future, we want our brands to play a larger part in enabling our consumers to make a difference for people and the planet.
