Mars Incorporated

Women have long played a powerful role in our history as a family-owned, privately held business, and their success is critical to our shared future. Whether in the boardroom, in a retail shop or on the farm, the evidence is clear that unlocking opportunities for women bolsters communities, drives resilience and enhances value. This is the premise of our Full Potential Gender Equity Platform, which outlines how we are advancing gender equity in our workplaces, sourcing communities and the marketplace.

For example, in our workplaces we are:

• Aspiring to reach 100% gender-balanced business leadership teams across our global business. Currently, two-thirds of our leaderships are gender diverse.
• Committed to equal pay for all Associates at Mars.
• Improving a range of family support benefits including enhanced parental leave in the U.S. and UK, as well as exploring ways to enhance parental leave support globally.
• Creating learning and development opportunities for emerging senior leaders.
• Providing support for our five Global Associate Resource Groups (ARGs), which includes our Women & Allies Global ARG focused on women, caregivers, and allies.
