Mars, Incorporated today released its 2025 Mars Sustainable in a Generation Report, highlighting continued progress against its sustainability initiatives. 

The launch coincides with a major milestone that all its U.S. operations are now powered by 100% renewable electricity. 

Together with broader operational decarbonization efforts, this progress contributed to a 42.6% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions against a 2015 baseline. It also helped deliver a 6.4% reduction in GHG emissions across its full value chain in 2025, bringing the company's cumulative absolute emissions reduction to 16.9% against a 2015 baseline while growing the business by approximately 75%.

"Reaching a milestone of 100% renewable electricity in our direct U.S. operations – from factories to offices, from veterinary hospitals to diagnostic labs – it's something to celebrate and be proud of,” said Poul Weihrauch, Mars CEO. “Building a resilient business includes access to clean and accessible energy, farmers that are not at the mercy of extreme weather events and communities that thrive across our full value chain. Our priority is to continue our efforts to generate good jobs, support our Associates and communities, and continuing to work towards a more resilient and sustainable future for all."

Mars is driving energy security with its Renewables Acceleration (RAcc) program, an innovative strategy launched in 2025 designed to extend renewable electricity beyond its direct operations and into its broader value chains. By 2030, this effort could reduce emissions by around 3 Mt, or roughly 10% of the company's footprint in 2025.  

The latest U.S. RAcc contract with Enel North America to support three new solar projects in Texas is expected to generate approximately 1.80 TWh of renewable electricity annually, supporting both Mars operations and its suppliers. In addition to investments to reduce and convert energy consumption, Mars has wind and solar projects that generate Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) equivalent to the amount of electricity used in the company's direct operations in the U.S.  

Mars also announced significant investments across its business in 2025 to strengthen its manufacturing base and support the decarbonization of its value chain while strengthening long-term resilience. This included plans to invest an estimated $2B in U.S.-based manufacturing by the end of the year.
