Mars’ Post

The global seafood sector is vital to food security, nutrition and income for people around the world. More than 3 billion people relying on seafood for their livelihoods. For over a decade, Mars and the World Wildlife Fund have worked together to drive positive impact, improving environmental and social practices in the fishing industry whilst promoting biodiversity and protecting endangered species. This week, our Petcare Chief Sustainability Officer, Marika McCauley Sine, sat down with WWF on their ‘Breaking Waves’ podcast to discuss our role as a major private sector actor in the ocean conservation space, as well as some of the challenges organizations face and how businesses can engage with consumers to become a part of their sustainability journey. During the episode, Marika highlighted the importance of cross sector collaboration for organizations looking to tackle systemic challenges in sustainability that stretch across sectors. Initiatives, such as the Fisheries Improvement Fund (FIF) launched by Mars in partnership with WWF and Finance Earth to catalyze and scale a $100 million investment in fisheries improvement by 2040 are essential in bringing together stakeholders across the supply chain to address environmental and social challenges facing the fishing industry.
