also means a more sustainable world for pets, people and for the planet. As part of the Mars Sustainable in a Generation plan, we’re integrating sustainability into the heart of our business and bringing even more innovative, sustainable choices and services to pet owners around the world.

We’re focused on driving sustainable practices to improve our environmental pawprint, operating and sourcing responsibly, and expanding access for pets and influencing policy. We're also engaging with partners like the World Wildlife Fund and using our influence to drive change at scale.

We are taking ambitious steps to reduce our carbon footprint and redesigning our packaging for circularity.

We’re switching to renewable energy in our veterinary hospitals and factories. All our 2,000 US veterinary hospitals will be sourcing renewable electricity starting early 2022. We aim to have 100% of our Mars Veterinary Health hospital sites globally fueled by renewable energy by 2025.

At Mars Petcare, we support vulnerable pets to get the care they need. To better understand the issue of pet homelessness and factors contributing to it, we teamed up with leading animal welfare experts and organizations around the world and together we developed the State of Pet Homelessness Project - the largest ever international study into pet homelessness. The ambition of the project is to drive more informed and targeted action to help reduce pet homelessness and ensure pets get the care they need.

We're also supporting researchers in their efforts to understand the amazing bond we share with our pets

We’re on a mission to improve the lives of pets by better understanding their needs through science. Researchers at the Waltham Petcare Science Institute are working with veterinary teams and data scientists from across our entire Petcare business and leading research organizations worldwide to advance personalized pet healthcare, so pets can stay healthy for longer.

We’re also supporting quality research to better understand how our relationships with pets might benefit our mental and physical health. With social isolation and loneliness on the rise in the U. S. and around the world, we’ve partnered with leading organizations like the Human Animal Bond Research Institute and the National Institutes of Health to help scientists understand the role pets could play to address this serious public health problem.

Together with veterinarians and data scientists across Mars Petcare, Waltham Petcare Science Institute researchers built the first AI-driven tool accurately predicting a cat’s risk of developing chronic kidney disease two years before it’s diagnosed.

We’re supporting a pioneering study by the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) School of Medicine’s Center for Human-Animal Interaction and its Dogs on Call therapy dog program to find out if dog therapy can ease loneliness for aging adults recovering in hospitals.

Science and data are at the heart of our veterinary business. That way we can make sure we’re providing high-quality, accessible care for pets, from preventive veterinary care and wellbeing to specialist services.
