Mars hails expansion of global coalition to mobilize suppliers on climate action

Barry Parkin, Chief Procurement & Sustainability Officer at Mars, Incorporated  said: “Effectively delivering against net zero will require a deep transformation of global supply chains, which will only be possible if companies embed climate action deep into the core of their procurement strategy. 

With more than three quarters of our emissions coming from the materials that we purchase at Mars, we recognize that supporting our suppliers on a low-carbon transition will be critical in mitigating our impact on the planet. Pre-competitive collaboration between global businesses and suppliers, such as through Supplier LoCT, will be vital in driving the scale and reach needed to overhaul global supply chains.”
