3 Mars
After 83 years in business, Mars has become the first UK company to commit to Fairtrade’s new cocoa sourcing programme.
The firm is now sourcing 100% sustainable cocoa for its iconic Mars Bars.
Blas Maquivar, president of Mars Chocolate UK, said: “This is an important milestone in Mars Bar’s 83 year history. We’re proud to make one of the nation’s favourite chocolate brands and we’re now even prouder that the Fairtrade-certified cocoa we source for it is helping farmers to make their crops, and ultimately their livelihoods even more sustainable.”
