Mars has set clear supplier sustainability requirements designed to ensure every vendor supports responsible business practices. For suppliers, this means demonstrating credible progress on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, from emissions tracking to ethical labor practices.

By aligning with these standards, suppliers strengthen their partnership with Mars and stay ahead of global compliance expectations.

Mars is a global manufacturer of confectionery, pet food, and other food products.

Mars has a science-based climate target to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its full value chain by 2050.

Mars requires suppliers to follow an environmental management system to minimize their impact, including maintaining compliance with environmental laws and permits. Suppliers are expected to control emissions, reduce waste, conserve resources, and responsibly handle hazardous materials. Mars encourages suppliers to train workers on environmental policies, assess risks, and engage with communities on land rights issues. Monitoring practices, such as emissions tracking and community feedback, are essential for continuous improvement, and suppliers are urged to document compliance.
