In 1947, Forrest E. Mars, Sr. documented his commitment to building a business that creates a “mutuality of benefits” for all stakeholders. Still owned by the Mars family, we remain committed to this objective at every level of the company. We plan for the long term, so that our business will continue to create a mutuality of benefits for generations to come.

Our Five Principles of Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency and Freedom help us meet our objective of making a positive difference for people and the planet through our performance. In our second Principles in Action summary, we share our ambitions, celebrate our progress and acknowledge our challenges. Please ask questions and let us know what you think.
