Commitments

A Subsection of the Mars Animal Welfare Position

Mars has an ambition to achieve 100% cage-free egg use globally, and we are committed to working collaboratively with the wider industry and good-faith NGOs to drive the changes needed in the global egg supply chain. We currently source cage-free eggs in markets where sufficient supply exists and will adopt similar sourcing in other markets as soon as supply dynamics driven by larger users can enable this shift.

Following these principles, we currently use 100% cage-free eggs for all human food products (e.g. confectionery, rice, sauces) in Europe, the U.S. and Canada. Together, these markets account for 76% of our total global volume of eggs, and when we deliver on our plans to source 100% cage-free eggs in Australia by 2025 that number will exceed 90% of our global volume.
