Entry Overview
Bain & Company played a huge part in supporting Mars Wrigley procurement in an ambitious upgrade of its capabilities, transforming ways of working and launching thousands of individual initiatives that helped the function exceed its ambitious 4% savings goal in 2022 and establish a savings pipeline of more than 15% across 2023-25.
Amanda Davies, Mars Wrigley’s Chief Procurement and Sustainability Officer, said of Bain: “We worked at pace I dared not to even dream of before we started to partner with them and they were laser-sharp in identifying new capabilities.”
