This year, Mars in Central Europe donated more than HUF 490 million and its employees helped to bring about positive changes that not only affected people and pets, but also our planet as a whole, with thousands of hours of volunteer work. One of the largest international manufacturers of sweets, food and pet food wants to achieve nothing less than to make the world a better place.
The Mars Sustainability Within a Generation plan, launched in 2017, sets ambitious, scientifically based goals in line with the goals of the United Nations. With the three main pillars of the plan – Healthy Planet, For the People and Supporting Well-Being – it primarily strives to improve people’s quality of life and create better living conditions in the communities that provide its raw materials.
The goal of the Mars Voluntary Program is to bring positive change to the lives of communities with the joint strength of the employees. Within the framework of the program, employees can work up to 16 hours a year in paid working time on a matter important to them, which can be their own or a central initiative. This year, Mars employees did volunteer work at 20 animal shelters in Central Europe, helping to develop the facilities and take care of the small animals living there. In addition, 2,000 trees were planted and parks, lake and river banks were cleaned – TeSzedd in Hungary! joining a garbage collection campaign – collecting a total of 7 tons of waste.
