78 % of Mars’ s total electricity was from renewable sources globally in 2025

Future-proofing operations While reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a primary driver for the transition, shifting away from fossil fuels serves a dual purpose for manufacturers. Renewable energy can help to strengthen long-term business resilience by reducing exposure to external risk.
A unique element of the RAcc programme is its avoidance of consumer-led initiatives. Conventional thinking often assumes that behavior change is required to drive impact at scale. However, requiring participation can add friction, increase costs and ultimately slow adoption. By removing these barriers, Mars is accelerating emissions reductions across the value chain while making participation more simple for everyone involved.
