What makes Mars unique?

We are incredibly proud of being family owned. It allows us the freedom to make decisions that we think are best for Mars, our people and the planet, not just shareholders. 

At Mars, we refer to our employees as Associates and welcome them into the Mars family. Our people are the heart of our business and we support them to develop and grow within our global organisation. We are very values driven, and all Associates live by our 5 Principles which are our north star and guide all our decisions.   

Our Sustainability Plan 

We care deeply about people and the planet and believe the world we want tomorrow starts with how we do business today.

Our Sustainable in a Generation Plan focuses on three key areas — Healthy Planet, Thriving People and Nourishing Wellbeing. It works to improve the lives of people in communities where we source materials, as well as the lives of our Associates, customers and pets.   

 

Inclusion & Diversity 

At Mars, we know that our strength lies in embracing and celebrating the unique perspectives, talents, and experiences of all Associates.

We have a dedicated network of Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) made up of passionate Associates who promote a diverse and inclusive work culture for everyone. Our 6 ARGs focus on: Wom+n of Mars, LGBTQ+ Pride, Cross Cultural, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, DiverseAbilities and Te Whakakotahitanga Māori.
