The Mars Supplier Code of Conduct articulates our social, environmental and ethical expectations for suppliers. It contains globally aligned standards and is rooted in international law.
In sharing our Code of Conduct with our first-tier suppliers we make our expectations clear, aligning our suppliers with our standards and ensuring that we work with partners that share our beliefs.
Our code includes the following topics:
- Business Integrity & Ethics
- Child Labor
- Compensation and Benefits
- Environmental Stewardship
- Forced Labor
- Freedom of Association
- Grievance Mechanisms
- Health & Safety
- Land Rights
- Non-discrimination

- Violence & Harassment
In parallel with our code we also provide supporting guidance. This guidance is contained in our ‘Supplier Code of Conduct Guidebook(Opens a new window)’, which provides examples of management systems that enable companies to more effectively tackle Social, Ethical and Environmental challenges, and meet our code expectations.
