Mars Sustainability Commitments
2030
Halve value-chain emissions
Mars says it wants to cut value-chain emissions by 50% by 2030. Value-chain emissions, often called Scope 3 emissions, are the indirect emissions that come from suppliers, transport, and product use rather than from the company’s own buildings. This is one of Mars’s main climate goals and covers most of the emissions linked to its business.
2050
Reach net zero
Mars says it is aiming for net zero by 2050. Net zero means balancing the greenhouse gases a company still produces with removals or cuts elsewhere so the total impact is brought down to zero. The company presents this as a long-term climate goal tied to its wider Sustainable in a Generation plan.
2026
Complete cocoa deforestation goal
A 2023 industry article said Mars was committed to making its cocoa supply chain deforestation-free by the end of the following year. That means it planned to remove forest loss from the sourcing of cocoa, which is a major ingredient in many of its products. The source does not show the final outcome, so this should be read as a stated target rather than a confirmed result.
