The Chairman of the Company Behind Snickers and M&Ms Reveals What's Next for the Chocolate Giant

Mars Inc, the maker of M&Ms, Snickers, and Milky Way, was once one of the most secretive companies in the United States. But that has started to change during the last few years.

"We all have an impact, and the goal is to minimize our impact, whether that's as an individual or as a corporation," Badger said.

"It's through Mars that I've had my eyes open to the reality that not only is business critical to solving today's issues, but it's actually, you know, fundamental to it ... The magnitude of issues facing the planet is such that business has got to be front and center in that dialogue and in addressing those issues."
