Billion-Dollar Ethics
Mars is the world's largest chocolate manufacturer. The company's headquarters is located in Mount Olive, New Jersey, with 150,000 employees and an annual revenue of $50 billion. It produces 30 types of chocolates sold worldwide, with Europe being its biggest market due to its European-inspired taste. Founded in 1932 in the UK, the company initially crafted chocolates tailored to European palates before relocating to the U.S., though it retained its flavor traditions.

The business was thriving—owners and workers were content, profits were steady, salaries and benefits increased, and taxes were paid promptly.
