It does this whenever possible and in several ways:

• Sponsorship of non-profit organizations such as Make-A-Wish® on the occasion of the Francorchamps Fun Cup.
  
  
• With the new platform ‘Share your energy’, Mars® gives consumers, partners and co-workers the opportunity to fulfil the dreams of children who suffer from a serious illness. It does so via several initiatives in-store, online and during the participation of many Mars co-workers in the 20km of Brussels. The collaboration between Mars® and Make-A-Wish® is part of a long-term partnership and is in line with the philosophy of the Mars Belgium company: to support charity organisations at a local level. Via the platform ‘Share your energy’ the company wants to invite each and everyone to share their positive energy.
