“Global companies like Mars play an important role in shaping sustainability standards and advancing climate action at scale ”
BARRY PARKIN CHIEF PROCUREMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY OFFICER MARS INC
He adds : “ Companies like Mars have the resources , expertise , and innovation capabilities needed to pioneer sustainable practices and technologies .
“ We can invest significantly in research and development , pilot groundbreaking initiatives , and implement sustainable solutions beyond the reach of smaller organisations . This proactive approach not only benefits the environment but also builds a positive reputation with environmentally conscious consumers and attracts like-minded partners .”
If a globally recognised brand like Mars can leverage their sprawling supply and procurement network for better environmental outcomes , it can only help to bring others on the same journey . “ This ripple effect fosters industrywide transformation , promoting a more sustainable future ,” finishes Parkin . “ If a business such as Mars can halve it ’ s footprint by 2030 , that matters .”
