Mars launches new policies on palm oil and deforestation
MCLEAN, VA (March 10, 2014) --- Mars, Incorporated announced today a new policy to help build a fully sustainable palm oil supply chain. This sees Mars commit to both industry leading standards and develop a fully traceable pipeline back to known palm oil processing mills by year-end 2014.
This policy is at the forefront of the business’ strengthened commitment to tackle deforestation, and further supported by the launch of its new deforestation policy. In addition to palm oil, Mars will initially focus on its other raw materials that have the greatest impact on forests: beef, pulp and paper, and soy.
Barry Parkin, chief sustainability officer, Mars, Incorporated stated, “Rapid expansion of palm oil plantations continues to threaten environmentally sensitive areas of tropical rainforest and carbon-rich peatlands, as well as the rights of communities that depend on them for their livelihoods. We have recognized that even though we have already implemented a 100% certified supply of Palm Oil this is not enough. We believe that these additional measures will not only help build a genuinely sustainable pipeline for Mars, but will also help accelerate change across the industry by encouraging our suppliers to only source from companies whose plantations and farms are responsibly run.”
As part of the policy, Mars has introduced a new sourcing charter that will require all its suppliers to have a fully sustainable and traceable palm oil supply across all their operations by the end of 2015 (or to have plans in place by the end of 2015 for doing so) and to have confirmed their commitment to the principles in its sourcing charter by end 2014.
Mars is also announcing that it has become a member of The Forest Trust (TFT), a global non-profit organization focused on the delivery of responsible products. All TFT’s palm oil members are companies that are committed to traceable, No Deforestation palm oil. TFT field teams will work with Mars suppliers in mills and plantations to help them build traceability and verify that their fresh-fruit bunch supply, including supply from smallholders, meets Mars’ sourcing charter.
TFT director Bastien Sachet says: “Making a strong commitment is the first important step to fight deforestation. But the second one – and the most important one - is to effectively “walk the talk”. We are pleased to start walking the talk with Mars to reach full traceability and No Deforestation for the palm oil they buy. By being ambitious for people and forests, Mars is inspiring their suppliers to be too.”
Mars has been a member of the RSPO(Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) since 2010 and currently purchases 100 percent of its palm oil from RSPO-certified sources via the “mass balance” program. Under the terms of the newly announced policy all palm oil received by Mars will be continue to be RSPO-certified but will also be fully traceable and compliant with the additional standards in the new sourcing charter.
Mars, Incorporated will report on its progress in fulfilling its palm oil commitment in its annual Principles in Action Summary and will also provide updates every six months on Mars.com. The business will also continue to partner with industry, governments and civil society on broader efforts to protect forests and ensure mutual benefits for the workers and communities that rely on them and will work closely with the Consumer Goods Forum to progress on this issue.

PARIS (Oct. 10, 2012) -- The Renault-Nissan Alliance’s commitment to gender parity has resulted in significant advancements for women at both Renault and Nissan.
The Alliance provides an annual update on gender parity during the Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society, an international conference that takes place Oct. 10-12 in Deauville, France. The yearly gathering aims to level the playing field for women in industry, academia, politics and society.
Among the 2012 findings at Renault and Nissan:
● Two out of Renault’s 10-member executive committee are women, giving Renault one of the highest percentages of women at the senior executive management level in the global automotive industry. These executives are Marie-Françoise Damesin, Executive Vice President of Human Resources; and Mouna Sepehri, Executive Vice President of the Office of the CEO.
● Women make up 15% of Renault’s key global executive positions.
● Women make up 17% of Renault’s total workforce and 14% of Renault’s manufacturing workforce.
● In new car sales, women account for 34% of the workforce in France, more than double compared to 2009. Renault aims to have women account for 50% of all new sales jobs.
● In France, Renault’s entry-level brand Dacia has already accomplished its goal of hiring women for half of all new sales jobs. In 2012, 80% of all new sales recruits were women.
● Renault has developed 'Women@Renault,' an internal professional network with 3,300 members and local communities in 11 countries. The network is part of Renault's broader corporate social responsibility strategy to strengthen gender diversity across all functions globally.
●Women account for 7% of senior-level managers at Nissan globally, up compared to 4% in 2009.
● At Nissan in Japan, women comprise 4% of senior-level managers, up from 3% a year ago.
● In Japan, women account for 6.7% of manager-level positions and higher, compared to an average of 2.9% for Japanese companies with 5,000 employees and more, according to the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
● Nissan receives a diversity award from the Japan Women's Innovative Network. This is the second time for Nissan to receive an award from the non-profit organization which recognizes companies with proactive and innovative approaches to the recruitment, skills development and advancement of women.
Committed to gender equality and diversity
Renault’s executive bench is rapidly becoming more diverse as the automaker broadens its geographic base. Renault counts 15 nationalities among its key global executive positions, including French, Spanish, Japanese, Brazilian and German executives.
Nissan continues to have one of the most diverse teams at the corporate officer level in Japan and among global automakers. Forty-eight percent of the top 100 positions are held by foreign-born executives from 15 countries, including France, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Argentina and Poland.
“The Renault-Nissan Alliance hires and promotes people based on talent and proven performance – not based on gender, country of origin or other factors,” Alliance Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn said. “We’re creating the auto industry’s most diverse car group, a place that welcomes high achievers and embraces diversity at every level.”
The Alliance maintains its “Premium Partner” status at the Women’s Forum, which it has supported since 2006. On Thursday afternoon, the Alliance will host an exclusive interactive session with Michèle Mouton, the first woman to win a round of the FIA World Rally Championship and the current president of the FIA Women in Motor Sport Commission.
