the Moy Wind Farm where Mars agreed to buy its electricity from Eneco UK ’ s Moy Wind Farm , a company that generates its power from wind turbines in the Highlands .

Since then and moving forward to this year , Mars has been investing in packaging innovation – from increasing recycled packaging content to exploring innovative alternatives to plastic – such as our in-store Bean Board trial in Tesco stores , to pilot a new material made from cocoa bean shells for promotional displays . Mars UK has also invested in reductions to its carbon footprint through new and improved logistics and fulfilment centres – including the opening of the London Thames Gateway facility , in partnership with DHL , which will reduce Mars UK ’ s logistics carbon footprint by 7.7 % and remove a million miles a year from roads .

We know there is a lot more to do , but we ’ re committing to taking

big strides towards our goals and I ’ m incredibly proud that Mars is taking bold action to reduce GHGs emissions across the business . we ’ re putting sustainability at our core ; improving our environmental footprint , operating and sourcing responsibly and bringing more innovative , sustainable choices to consumers across the country .
