Sustainable In A Generation Share THE WORLD IS FACING SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES. Poverty, water stress, climate change, and other social and environmental issues are holding back the potential of people, communities and business. At Mars, we believe it’s time to take a new approach to addressing these challenges – an approach that takes what we’ve learned during the last decade by focusing on the impacts of our direct operations – and expands our ambitions to our entire value chain to make a significant impact. It’s also time to embrace a sense of urgency. That’s why we’re launching our new Sustainable in a Generation Plan – a plan to grow in ways that are good for people, good for the planet and good for our business. The plan sets new and ambitious goals around three key areas: healthy planet, thriving people and nourishing wellbeing. 1 2 3 4 LEARN ABOUT OUR THREE AMBITIONS: healthy planet thriving people nourishing wellbeing EXPLORE MORE EXPLORE MORE 1 2 3 Follow our journey with #GenerationForChange Tweets about #ClimateChange OR #ClimateWeek OR #COP23 OR #FoodSafety OR #CWNYC OR #FoodSecurity OR #GenerationForChange OR #GlobalGoals OR #HealthyPlanet OR #NourishingWellbeing OR #ParisAgreement OR #RenewableEnergy OR #Sustainability OR #ThrivingPeople from:MarsGlobal THE PATH TO ZERO - MARS & MOY WIND FARMS MOY WIND FARM The energy it takes to make MARS® bars, WHISKAS® cat food, EXTRA® gum and UNCLE BEN’S® rice in the U.K. is now provided by a new wind farm in Moy, Scotland.

Too many of them are not thriving today and although Mars typically does not purchase raw materials directly from farmers, we recognize that helping lift smallholder farmers out of poverty is both the right thing to do and vital for the long-term sustainability of our supply chains.
