Mars is recognized for following the Accountability Framework Initiative, has maintained a deforestation-free palm oil supply chain since 2020 and is raising standards down its supply chain. Further, Mars has committed to holding flat the total land area associated with their value chain, and area where Kellanova has made no commitments.
Kellanova also lags behind Mars in Scope 3 Net Zero commitments, in that it is committed to a 90% reduction by 2050 from a 2015 base year, whereas Mars first committed to achieving Net Zero across its full value chain in 2021, so four years ago.
