Mars Incorporated—the company behind some of your favorite brands, from Snickers to Seeds of Change—is guided by a simple statement: We believe the world we want tomorrow starts with how we do business today.

This purpose comes to life through the company’s Sustainable in a Generation Plan, which focuses on a healthy planet, thriving people, and nourishing wellbeing; through its four subsidiaries — Petcare, Mars Wrigley, Food, and Edge; and through many of its brands. To talk about Mars’ purpose, Purpose 360 welcomed Andy Pharoah, VP Corporate Affairs and Sustainability at Mars. 

Listen for Andy’s insights on:

• The interrelationship between the Mars Compass and Five Principles, and how they jointly guide decision-making at all levels of the organization.
• How Mars is putting purpose at the center of long-term business strategy and R&D to transform supply chains and operations to be more sustainable, while creating healthier products.
• Why and how Mars committed $1b+ in the Sustainable Generation Plan to put its “purpose into practice” and help billions of people around the world.
