Mars’ Post

🎉 Celebrating 45 years of chocolate bliss! 🍫 The Mars factory in Viersen, Germany has been a sweet staple since 1979, producing iconic brands like TWIX, BALISTO, and CELEBRATIONS. With over 320 dedicated Associates, the site is proud to make 10 million chocolate bars a day, reaching over 30 markets worldwide. We are investing €40 million to modernize the factory, boost efficiency and improve sustainability. This will help us meet the growing demand for TWIX and reduce our energy use and emissions to help us reach our Net Zero commitments. Here's to a future filled with more chocolate and less carbon! 🌍 💚

Calling all chocolate lovers: Today is World Chocolate Day! 🍫🤩 While we celebrate chocolate every day at Mars, #WorldChocolateDay gives us a special opportunity to spotlight its ability to bring people together by creating comforting moments of happiness. Without chocolate, our world—and our candy!—would be a lot less sweet. 📹 Watch the video to get the scoop on all things chocolate from one of our Associates, and learn more about the cocoa behind the chocolate here: https://bit.ly/4brdcpm #ProudlyMars #CocoaForGenerations

The Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, held annually on the banks of Lake Constance in Germany, bring together Nobel Laureates and young researchers from around the globe for lectures, panel discussions and seminars.   At Mars, we believe in the power of scientific research, collaboration and partnerships to address the world's most pressing challenges and complex problems. Our long-standing partnership with the Lindau Meetings fosters intergenerational, cross-sector dialogue among scientists.   Over the past week, we hosted interactive events focused on this year’s theme: Physics. Stay tuned for updates and highlight videos from our Mars Science & Technology leaders and Mars Fellows in the coming weeks. #LINO24 #ProudlyMars #TomorrowStartsToday #ScienceAtMars #ScienceForTomorrow

When it comes to breaking down gender stereotypes, one person can’t always change the world alone, but they can change the world around them. So, for the second year of our #FlipTheStatusQuo Associate recognition campaign, we asked our Associates: who’s changed your world? This year, 350 nominations illustrated Associates’ hard work to build a more inclusive world. After a thorough selection process, we’re thrilled to announce 10 Associates who stood out for their actions to break down barriers at work and in their communities. Meet them on Mars.com: https://bit.ly/3XCLm6m #TomorrowStartsToday #ProudlyMars

At Mars, we’ve been leading the pet-friendly workplace pack for over 15 years – on Take Your Dog To Work Day and every day. Our furry friends aren’t just welcome; they’re a fundamental part of our culture. Why bring pets to work? A survey by our CESAR® brand shows that bringing pets to work: • Boosts happiness (58%) • Relieves anxiety or stress (57%) • Supports social interaction (52%) We've invested in office features designed with pets in mind, including dog-walking routes, playgrounds, dog-friendly meeting rooms and activity areas. We also provide an office-wide “Petiquette Policy” – bringing together our community of pet lovers and pet owners under office guidelines for pets in the office.

Although shelters have a variety of pets to adopt, only 1 in 8 pet owners got their pet from a rescue center. The State of Pet Homelessness Project shows that changing the perception of rescued animals can get far more pets out of shelters and into loving homes. No better message to promote during Foster a Pet Month! Learn more about the State of Pet Homelessness Project: https://bit.ly/45oV1zo Kim Van Syoc #ABetterWorldForPets #StateOfPetHomelessness
