Our Principles in Action


From its early beginnings, Mars, Incorporated has been guided by its founding family’s values. The Five Principles of Mars – Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency, and Freedom – give purpose and direction to our business and make us unique as a company.


We recognize that, as one of the world’s largest food companies, our actions have a significant impact upon people we touch and precious natural resources. We have a responsibility to build a business that is sustainable for generations to come.


Our Principles in Action bring our Principles to life … strengthening our company’s performance by making a positive difference towards people and the planet.


By putting Our Principles in Action we are applying values that are constant to a world in constant change.
