About us

We’re a unified force of 150,000+ Associates, taking action every day toward the world we want tomorrow. Our Five Principles have kept us true to ourselves and to our commitment to treat others in ways that are consistent with those values. Having stood the test of time, these principles will continue, keeping us free to move quickly and plan for the future. Quality - The consumer is our boss, quality is our work and value for money is our goal. Responsibility - As individuals, we demand total responsibility from ourselves; as Associates, we support the responsibilities of others. Mutuality - A mutual benefit is a shared benefit; a shared benefit will endure. Efficiency - We use resources to the full, waste nothing and do only what we can do best. Freedom - We need freedom to shape our future; we need profit to remain free.

Snacking is better together! Today we’re excited to announce that we have agreed to acquire Kellanova, a leading global snacking company home to beloved brands like Pringles®, Cheez-It®, Pop Tarts® and Eggo®. Kellanova’s portfolio will perfectly complement the existing Mars Snacking portfolio, which includes billion-dollar brands like SNICKERS®, M&M’S®, TWIX®, DOVE® and EXTRA®, as well as KIND® and Nature’s Bakery®. The transaction combines two iconic businesses with complementary footprints and portfolios of beloved brands with a vision to shape the future of snacking and serve even more consumers across the globe. Just as importantly, the transaction brings together two values-based and purpose-driven businesses with a strong cultural fit, and we look forward to welcoming the Kellanova team to Mars.

Over 3,000 Associates joined this year’s Global LinkedIn Learning Challenge for three weeks of fun and growth. Through course clubs, Associates across all segments, regions, and roles showed how social connections can enrich learning in the most in-demand skills and trending topics at Mars. https://bit.ly/3N2hlX1 #ProudlyMars #MarsU #LearningAtMars
Mars Chief Executive Officer Poul Weihrauch recently visited our sites in Mexico and gave an interview to ExpansionMx sharing his thoughts on what makes Mars unique – including the company's approach to responsible growth, how we balance a portfolio of global and local jewels, the role of innovation and much more. Poul said that “what sets our company apart is not just what we do, but also how we do it. I would love to double the business [during my tenure], but what is more important is how we do it. We want to grow responsibly and generate long-term value. Like any company, we set measures to track our progress, however, unlike other companies, we focus on both traditional financial indicators and non-traditional criteria, such as environmental progress and trust.” Mars has had a strong presence in Latin America for 50 years where we employ thousands of Associates. In July, we announced a $170 million investment to further expand our pet food production facility in Queretaro, Mexico, showcasing the strength and quality of the manufacturing industry in Mexico.

At Mars, we know that continuous learning is essential for success. That's why we've launched the Communication & Storytelling for Supply program—empowering our Associates to transform technical details into compelling stories that drive action. It’s all about mastering communication to make data truly impactful. Because at Mars, growth never stops. https://bit.ly/3N5bd0h #ProudlyMars #MarsU #LearningAtMars
🐶💙 Puppy love is real! At Mars, we know just how important pets are to members of our society and our families. But did you know that oxytocin, the ‘love hormone’, increases during child-dog interactions, benefiting both children and their pets? The new research supported by Waltham Petcare Science Institute reveals how this bond could enhance children's emotional development, as oxytocin is associated with positive emotions, the reduction of stress and the formation of social bonds!

We're thrilled to see Waltham’s ground-breaking study presented at the 60th Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists meeting at the Royal Society of Medicine in London this week.

We’re so proud to share that VCA Animal Hospitals Sanibel Animal Hospital reopened a newly expanded 4,100 square foot facility, offering enhanced canine and feline services for pet owners in Sanibel Island, Florida, expanding access to care after the original 960 square foot location was impacted by Hurricane Ian in 2022. 🐶🐈 At Mars, we’re committed to make A BETTER WORLD FOR PETS – a world where they’re healthy, happy and welcome and that’s why the new hospital now provides advanced veterinary care offerings to cats and dogs including dentistry, surgery, medical occupancy, grooming, ultrasound, cold laser, radiology and more. 🔗To learn more about VCA Sanibel Animal Hospital’s story and the hometown care they provide, visit: https://lnkd.in/e9Cz56Z9 #TomorrowStartsToday #HurricaneSafety #PetSafety

"You want to lower emissions? Try attaching it to pay", says Mars Sustainability Chief Officer Barry Parkin Barry recently spoke with the Wall Street Journal Pro Sustainable Business about the progress we’ve made towards our goal of Net Zero by 2050 and how it is an all-in effort across the whole organization. “20% of our overall executive remuneration is attached to our sustainability goals. When you make it that amount of money—they move from ‘I don’t know what to do about that’ to ‘That’s serious. That’s significant. What do I need to know? What do I need to do?” says Barry.
