Profit and purpose are not enemies. Doing the right thing does not mean a trade-off between planet and productivity, or between environment and employment. To be successful at Mars, we have to deliver financial and non-financial value. That’s why I am so pleased with the news we are announcing today.    Last year, we published our Net Zero Roadmap promising to accelerate our carbon reductions. In 2023, we delivered a record 8% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction, doubling our total GHG reduction to 16% across our full value chain and delivering our largest single year drop against our 2015 baseline. In the same period, we have grown our business over 60% to more than $50 billion in annual sales. With these latest results, we are delivering on our business strategy to continue to grow while reducing our absolute carbon emissions. We still have a long way to go, but we will continue to follow the science and show how a responsible business can both do well and do good.   You can read more about it and visit the latest Mars Sustainable in a Generation Plan here https://lnkd.in/dxXBcatP #ProudlyMars #NetZeroby2050

The chart below represents the kind of thriving business that the world needs more of. Impressive business growth coupled with industry leading rates of decarbonisation, on the science based trajectory to net zero emissions. Does your Board, CEO and leadership care, inspect, and lead in this manner? Caring for the non-financials as deeply as the financials and recognising that the two reinforce each other? We are grateful to all Mars Associates and business partners that are pushing with us on this journey and we look forward to sharing more in an effort to hold ourselves to account and inspire other businesses down the same road.

Moments where we are able to share major achievements in Mars’ sustainability journey are always meaningful. Our new 2023 Sustainable in a Generation Report reveals a historic milestone: Mars has achieved an unprecedented 8% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2023 alone, doubling our total GHG reduction to 16% since 2015. We’re on track to deliver on our goal of a 50% GHG reduction across our entire value chain by the end of the decade. In the face of significant growth—over 60%—to more than $50 billion in annual sales, we have been able to decouple carbon emissions from business growth. Our progress is not merely a statistical victory but a validation of our strategy to drive solid growth while reducing our environmental impact.

Only one of the things that make me proud to work at Mars, but a very important one: it‘s not only about generating growth, but equally about creating a positive impact on our planet and society. Seeing the achievements done, we have proven that these two don’t contradict but can go hand in hand. #proudlymars #TomorrowStartsToday

It’s inspiring to work for a business that sees success holistically. Mars is working towards ambitious sustainability goals in all aspects of the business - and is making those ambitious goals attainable. #ProudlyMars #TomorrowStartsToday #Sustainability

In 2023, Mars delivered a record 8% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction, doubling our total GHG reductions to 16% across the full value chain since our 2015 baseline. In the same period, the Mars business has grown over 60%, to more than $50 billion in annual sales, so in other words the decoupling of growth from emissions continues. I am super proud of these results and of all the work that has gone in to delivering this across our entire business We are by no means done, but this is a great step on the way.

When Mars launched its Net Zero Roadmap last year, we said that it is possible to decouple growth from carbon emissions and that we wanted to be judged by our results, not by our promises. This week we are announcing that in 2023 we delivered a record 8% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction, doubling our total GHG reductions to 16% across the full value chain, since our 2015 baseline. In the same period, the Mars business has grown over 60%, to more than $50 billion in annual sales. And we are on track to deliver a 50% reduction in GHG by 2030. It’s the clear vision of our leaders and the daily focus of thousands of Associates that enable us to achieve these results. Having a comms team full of rock stars to push the news out in such a creative way also helps 😎 The road ahead may not be a straight line and we don’t have all the answers but we are certainly committed to continuing to deliver.
