Mars, Incorporated has signed a long-term renewable electricity agreement tied to the Kölvallen Wind Farm in Sweden, securing 70% of the project’s annual output as part of its European decarbonisation strategy.
The agreement will provide approximately 670 GWh of clean electricity each year, supporting Mars’ direct operations and value chain partners across Europe.
The contract forms part of the company’s Renewable Acceleration Program, which aims to reduce total carbon emissions by 10% by 2030 against a 2015 baseline.
The Kölvallen Wind Farm delivers 277.2 MW of installed capacity. Mars said the renewable output is equivalent to powering around 95,000 households annually.
The wind project was developed by Foresight Energy Infrastructure Partners. Mars’ long-term commitment supported the project’s construction and financing phase.
The renewable electricity will extend beyond Mars’ own manufacturing sites, contributing to emissions reductions across suppliers and production partners. That includes areas such as food manufacturing, pet nutrition processing and packaging supply networks.
In 2025, Mars also launched more than 100 solar projects in Poland under the same Renewable Acceleration framework, expanding renewable electricity coverage across its European value chain.
The Sweden agreement represents one of the company’s largest renewable energy commitments in Europe to date.
Mars generates more than $65 billion in annual revenue and operates globally across snacking, food and petcare categories. The company has positioned energy procurement and supply chain emissions reduction as core elements of its long-term sustainability roadmap.
The Swedish wind contract is expected to support the company’s broader net-zero ambitions while providing long-term renewable electricity stability across its European operations.
