Mars Wrigley is the world’s leading manufacturer of chocolate, chewing gum, mints and fruity confections.

For more than five generations, Mars has evolved to create products and services that people love. Our storied history began in a kitchen when two men discovered their passion for food and created beloved confections that stood the test of time. When you make brands that put smiles on people’s faces and create better moments for millions, you feel a sense of pride in your work. Today, our iconic Mars products like MALTESERS^®, M&M’S^®, SNICKERS^®, EXTRA^® and Skittles^® are enjoyed in more than 180 countries.

We’re not just committed to our consumers; we’re focused on positively impacting the planet and the population. From chocolate to chewing gum, we have more than 34,000 associates working hard to improve the way we source, make and market our products, so our consumers can enjoy them even more. Some of our commitments include:

- Investing $1 billion to build a new cocoa supply chain model centred on smallholder farmers.

- Reducing our carbon footprint by using enough renewable energy to create all M&Ms^® sold.

- Following our Nourishing Wellbeing commitment to advance science, innovation and marketing in ways that help billions of people lead healthier, happier lives.

With rigorous testing for the safety, taste and quality of our treats, we ensure that the world of tomorrow will have even more smiles, and that we’re still making chocolate the same way Frank C. Mars did: one piece at a time.
