Within the Mars Ambassador Program (MAP), Mars associates are given the opportunity to show their personal commitment to making a difference to people and the planet.
Concretely, Mars allows one or more of its employees to put their mission within the company between brackets, in order to lead, in partnership with a NGO, a program of societal dimension.

For instance, a Marketing associate participated in a MAP pilot in Ghana focusing on reducing acute malnutrition and waterborne illness. During the five-week program, she helped a community install backyard gardens and plant a variety of fruits and vegetables to improve nutrition in the community.
She also created a model called the “healthy eating tripod,” featuring the recommended daily intake of grains, protein, fruits and vegetables.
