October 11, 2018 Dear Supplier, At Mars, we recognize that the quality and safety of our products is the foundation on which the success of our business is built, Safe Petfood is at the core of our legacy and is embedded in our culture. Quality is our job and the trust of our consumers is achieved by making safe Petfood. This goal is achieved by developing robust supply chain, production and distribution systems capable of consistently delivering raw materials and finished products that are not only safe but meet or exceed consumer expectations. In order to continue to meet consumer expectations, we are revising our Supplier Approval Program, Therefore, we are asking our suppliers to partner with us along this journey to ensure our entire supplier base is GFSI certified by end of Q2 2019 (30" of June 2019). Included with this letter are a brief description of Mars Supplier Audit Program (appendix A) and guideline for GFSI implementation (appendix B). Please distribute this information to the key stakeholders within your organization who will be responsible for managing the compliance with this new requirement. Your participation is imperative to maintain approval of the products you supply to Mars. We appreciate your support to mitigate food safety risk, and thank you in advance for your cooperation and compliance. Please direct any questions to your key contact at Mars or Aya Abujarbou.
