Building a Global Approach with Renewable Energy
In response to the UN’s call to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030, we’re accelerating the transition to renewable energy.
Our global strategy brings the electricity used across our entire value chain, around 8–9 terawatt-hours (TWh), into the renewable energy market.
By using our scale to bring electricity demand linked to our business to the market through long-term commitments, we can help accelerate the shift to cleaner power across the wider system, not just within our own operations.
From farms and factories to delivery trucks and homes, this approach helps decarbonize every stage of how Mars products are made, moved and enjoyed, from Ben’s Original™ to SNICKERS® Ice Cream and BANFIELD™ veterinary care.
Together, these efforts could cut an estimated 3 million tonnes of carbon emissions, around 10% of our total footprint, helping build a cleaner, more resilient future for people, pets and the planet.

Powering Sustainable Farms
Electricity is used across agricultural activities that support the crops we source, including irrigation, cooling, grain drying and storage for commodities such as rice, cocoa and wheat. These upstream uses are spread across many regions and suppliers, contributing to significant electricity demand linked to our agricultural supply chains.
Producing the Ingredients We Use
Processing, refining, refrigeration and storage all depend on electricity during ingredient production. These energy-intensive stages represent a significant share of the electricity associated with our supply chains.
Electrifying Logistics & Distribution
From warehouses to refrigerated transport, electricity helps power the systems that move Mars products worldwide. As logistics electrify, we're ensuring that the energy behind our trucks, warehouses, and distribution hubs is clean, efficient, and future-ready.
Powering Retail and Pet Care with Clean Energy
From retail stores to pet hospitals and diagnostic labs, electricity powers the spaces where people and pets connect with our brands. Through our renewable energy investments, we're helping expand access to cleaner power and strengthen the grids that support these environments. Cleaner grids mean more sustainable operations, benefiting our partners, communities, and the pets we care for every day.
Renewable Moments at Home
Everyday activities such as preparing meals, enjoying treats or caring for pets rely on electricity. By helping accelerate renewable electricity across the wider system, we can support progress that extends from farms through to households everywhere.
