(Thursday 7th November) Commenting on the launch of ATNi’s latest Global Access to Nutrition Index, Thomas Abrams, Co-Head of Health at ShareAction, said: "ATNi’s latest index finds mixed results on companies’ efforts to make their sales healthier, highlighting the critical need for transparency. Investors need clearer and more regular disclosures to assess if companies are effectively managing regulatory risks and capitalising on growing demand for healthier options.

“Since the previous index, more companies have begun disclosing the healthiness of their product sales, with some, like Unilever and Danone, adopting internationally recognised methods following investor pressure. With key players failing to show enough progress, investors we work with are demanding greater transparency. Companies should heed shareholders concerns and commit to reporting the healthiness of their sales in line with internationally-accepted nutrition standards.”
