All About Mars
Mars has been proudly family owned for over 100 years. It’s this independence that gives us the gift of freedom to think in generations, not quarters, so we can invest in the long-term future of our business, our people and the planet — all guided by our enduring Principles.
We believe the world we want tomorrow starts with how we do business today. Our bold ambitions must be matched with actions today from our 130,000 Associates in 80 countries around the world. Some of our current initiatives are:
- Investing $1 billion over the next several years to become sustainable in a generation
- Working to improve the wellbeing for families around the world

Every day we are one step closer to the world we want tomorrow, through our steadfast commitment to action today.
