Responsibility

As individuals, we demand total responsibility from ourselves; as associates, we support the responsibilities of others.

Respect for the individual is at the heart of the Responsibility principle. At Mars we encourage associates to accept personal responsibilities so that all associates can achieve their full potential.

We focus on breaking down divisive work practices that depend on status. Private offices and reserved car parking spaces are not part of the Mars culture.

Communication and team-work turning common business goals into shared aspirations; ethical practices and high standards of corporate responsibility; honesty and candor; cultural diversity; these all build a framework for human relations which supports the individual and promotes an open environment of trust.
