Our Principles in Action

Wrigley is a proud subsidiary of Mars, Incorporated. The Wrigley and Mars businesses are both built on the fundamental belief that, to endure, we must deliver mutual benefits for our business and all our stakeholders, including our Associates, retail customers, consumers, suppliers and communities.

We are guided and governed in this effort by Mars’ Five Principles: Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency and Freedom. Our objective as a business is to put these principles into action every day, to make a difference to people and planet through performance.

As a privately owned company, we have traditionally communicated more about our brands than about ourselves as a business. But, today people want to know more about the businesses they choose to support. Below are our first major communications about how we put our Principles in action, where we share more about who we are and what we stand for. We explain our ambitions as a business committed to our Five Principles, and acknowledge where we are making progress and where we are still seeking the best ways forward.
