Each year since 2020, we’ve been recognized as one of “America’s Best Employers for Women” by Forbes in the U.S., ranked 269 among the 20,000 eligible U.S. companies and seventh in the food category. 
 
And it all began with an unfiltered look in our own mirror. 

We’re committed to fostering an environment where our 140,000+ Associates feel valued and respected, regardless of any visible or invisible differences. Where they’re comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work, where they enjoy equal opportunities to be heard, where they feel supported to reach their full potential.  

So how did Forbes pick their champions? Companies were identified in an independent survey from a sample of roughly 50,000 U.S. employees (working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S.). The sample included more than 30,000 women.   

This announcement follows recent workplace recognition for Mars including:

• Glassdoor, a leader on insights about jobs and companies where employees can anonymously share their workplace experiences, listed Mars as a “Best Places to Work” for 2022. 
• This year, Mars earned its second consecutive score of 100% on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's 2022 Corporate Equality Index, placing Mars on the 2022 list of “Best Places to Work for LGBTQ Equality”.
