It’s International Cat Day! 🐱 We believe pets make our lives and our world, better. They help us feel more balanced, more connected, and more joyful every day. Take a mindful moment to paws and unwind with a short, guided breathing exercise from the Mars x Calm partnership (below) - a small but meaningful way to reconnect, reset, and honor the soothing presence of cats in our lives – whether they’re curled up beside you or quietly keeping watch. 🐾 📷 To celebrate our feline friends today, share a picture of your cat in the comments!

When you lead with purpose, business growth and emissions reduction can go hand in hand. At Mars, we continued to decouple carbon emissions from growth, having grown over 69% 📈 to approximately $55 billion in annual net sales while reducing our carbon footprint by 16.4% 📉 compared to a 2015 baseline. This progress reflects the hard work of thousands of Associates, guided by our Net Zero Roadmap and our commitment to doing what’s right for people, pets and the planet. From transitioning to renewable energy to driving deforestation free supply chains, we’re focused on delivering meaningful, measurable change. 🌍 Explore more of the progress in our latest Sustainable in a Generation Report: https://lnkd.in/g_zbhYcH #TomorrowStartsToday #ProudlyMars #Sustainability #NetZero2050

Dogs might not wear capes, but their ability to support our wellbeing makes them real-life superheroes. 🐶 That’s why our partnership between DC Studios’ new Superman film and PEDIGREE® in Europe is so special - Krypto the rescue Superdog reminds us of the everyday power pets have to change our lives. Whether it’s helping us feel calm, giving us a reason to get outside, or simply being there when we need them most, pets have a quiet way of making life better. At Mars, we’ve been exploring this through our Pets and Wellbeing Study (PAWS), the world’s largest multi-year research program on pets and wellbeing and partnering with Calm to help more people recognize their pets as everyday wellbeing partners. But millions of dogs are still waiting in shelters, ready to make that same difference for someone. Through PEDIGREE®’s continued support for adoption, more people can experience the impact of bringing a pet into their home. Because when you adopt a dog, you don’t just change their world… they change yours, too. https://lnkd.in/erHcUXX2 #TomorrowStartsToday #ProudlyMars #ABetterWorldforPets

Did you know that up to 30% of peanuts never make it from pod to plate? That’s why we’ve launched the Mars Protect the Peanut Plan—a five-year, $5 million investment in pioneering peanut science. Powered by groundbreaking genomic research, this work aims to naturally breed hardier peanut varieties that can better withstand pests, disease, and increasingly unpredictable weather. It’s a clear example of how we’re using science to help secure the future of food—and doing it the Mars way: long-term, collaborative, and with impact in mind. 🎥 Meet Grandpa Peanut and learn more about our pursuit of the perfect peanut: https://lnkd.in/eXByny-B #ProudlyMars #ProtectThePeanut

At Mars, we’re proud that 94% of Mars products sold in the U.S. are produced locally in the U.S., and as a result, we’re committed to strengthening our U.S.-based manufacturing. Today, we announced plans to build on the $6 billion we’ve already allocated towards U.S.-based manufacturing over the past 5 years with additional $2 billion that will be used to bolster manufacturing in the U.S. across our diverse portfolio through 2026.     Investing in American manufacturing isn't just business — it’s about growing with our consumers, delivering for our partners, and creating lasting economic impact in the communities where we operate.     From supporting the footprint of our legacy manufacturing to expanding our strategic acquisitions, we look forward to enhancing our ability to supply consumers with the iconic products they know and love for generations to come.     To learn more about how we’re expanding U.S.-based manufacturing, visit: https://lnkd.in/eB--idHc #TomorrowStartsToday #ProudlyMars

What is Shubh Mint? For our most loved brands Altoids® Extra® or Orbit®, it’s the essential ingredient also known as Auspicious Mint. For 24,000 mint-farming families in Northern India, it means higher incomes, more efficient water use, and stronger community support. Since 2017, the Shubh Mint program has helped participating farmers earn significantly more annual income compared to others in the region. Nearly 400 women's self-help groups have formed, collectively saving over $880,000. More than 1,000 women have used group-supported loans to start businesses and contribute to their household income. This is what progress looks like when we put people at the center of it. Want to learn more?
