In 2025, Mars signed its first set of agreements, one of these being a European contract that launched more than 100 solar projects in Poland and three in the US.
In 2026, Mars also acquired 70% of the output from the Kölvallen Wind Farm in Sweden through a long-term agreement.
Mars is advancing an approach to renewable energy by scaling its electricity demand across its entire value chain to accelerate the transition to cleaner power. In alignment with the United Nations goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030, Mars is moving beyond strategies that rely on persuading individual suppliers to adopt renewables, an approach often limited in speed and scale.
Instead, through its Renewables Acceleration strategy, the company aims to leverage its size and purchase power to bring eight to nine terawatt-hours of electricity demand into the renewable energy market. This demand spans farms, factories, logistics and product use.
