Mars Snacking has since transitioned its European confectionery operations toward renewable energy and has purchased Guarantees of Origin (GO) certificates for renewable electricity and biomethane equivalent to the amount of electricity and natural gas used in these operations. These certificates confirm that the same amount of renewable energy has been generated, even if some factories remain physically connected to conventional power grids or gas networks. Mars Wrigley’s regional president Marc Carena said: “At Mars, we believe that the world we want tomorrow starts with how we do business today. Mars currently operates 24 factories in ten EU countries. Around 85% of the project it sells in the EU are produced locally, with exports reaching more than 100 markets.
