Investor statement in support of robust mandatory reporting and target setting on healthy food
Despite growing recognition of the role food companies play in shaping diets, progress on voluntary reporting and target setting remains uneven, with many major players across the industry still failing to report on the healthiness of their sales or commit to improvement.
This investor statement, signed by 23 investors with $1.33 trillion in assets under management, welcomes the UK government’s commitment to introduce mandatory reporting and target setting on the healthiness of food sales for all large companies in the food sector – a vital step towards leveling the playing field and achieving a healthier and more accountable food system.
This statement outlines investor support for:
- Robust, comparable health metrics aligned with public health experts and companies’ best practices
- Clear targets to improve the healthiness of sales
- Comprehensive scope of the policy across the food sector
- A strong regulatory framework with effective enforcement
