The Mars Five Principles

To help build a better world today, Associates in all corners of the world put The Principles into action every day, everywhere.

Quality

The consumer is our boss, quality is our work and value for money is our goal.

Responsibility

As individuals, we demand total responsibility from ourselves; as Associates, we support the responsibilities of others.

Mutuality

A mutual benefit is a shared benefit; a shared benefit will endure.

Efficiency

We use resources to the full, waste nothing and do only what we can do best.

Freedom

We need freedom to shape our future; we need profit to remain free.

Every day you’ll find plenty of opportunities at Mars to learn, grow and reach your full potential.

We give our Associates lots of support today, so that together, we can create a better tomorrow.

All our Associates have the opportunity to have a positive impact on the world by joining our Mars Volunteer Program and Mars Ambassador Program. We put our principles into action today so we can deliver growth we are all proud of tomorrow.
