INNOVATIVE PACKAGING AND BALANCED PARENTING – MARS’ SUSTAINABILITY GOALS

Kate Wylie, Global VP Sustainability at Mars, describes the sustainability goals set by the company around three main pillars: healthy planet, thriving people and nourishing well being. One of the major challenges the company faces is building a sustainable cocoa supply chain and major investments in innovative packaging solutions to reduce and recycle packaging. Mars, a family-owned, purpose-led company, has set up financial and non-financial metrics with positive societal impact. According to Kate, Covid did not influence the corporate sustainable goals but did unveil systematic inequalities and vulnerable supply chains.
