Making Waves: 15 years of impact with the Mars Ambassador Program

Mars has showcased the history of its Mars Ambassador Program (MAP) on its website – as it is an interesting piece showcasing the history of the program I have copied it below.

We believe companies can be a force for good. 15 years ago, we created our Mars Ambassador Program (MAP) to harness the power of our global Mars community to drive positive change. The program serves as a testament to our belief that, together, we can make a tangible difference in the world.

MAP, our signature skills-based volunteering program, empowers Associates to step away from their work and volunteer their time and skills to help local nonprofit organizations build capacity and advance their mission. By aligning with our business priorities and purpose, MAP ensures that the skills and expertise of our Associates are leveraged in ways that not only support these organizations but also resonate with our core values and strategic goals.

From restoring coral reefs and providing aid after disasters, to offering medical care to animals in need and renovating shelters, more than 1,000 Associates have volunteered from 60+ countries since the program started in 2008.

“15 years ago, we embarked on a journey of positive impact with MAP. Today more than 1,000 Associates have been at the forefront of positive change in the communities where we operate and source. Every minute of the 60,000 hours dedicated by our MAP Ambassadors tells an important story — one of hope, impact, and the power of putting our skills to work delivering on our Mars Purpose.” – Stephen Badger, Mars Board Director

As we celebrate 15 years of MAP, we pause to reflect on the incredible legacy of impact, growth and connection that has defined the Program over the years.
