“Our partnership with DHL will deliver a world class logistics operation that is sustainable, smart and agile. What is good for our business is also good for the planet. This project is a meaningful step in our sustainability journey as we look to create the world we want tomorrow – which we know starts with how we do business today,” commented Tim Walker, Supply Chain Director at Mars UK.

The two new locales will be situated in the Midlands and East London (representing to a venture of US$467.8mn) and have been planned with sustainability at the forefront of the operations.
