WHAT
IS ATNI ?
The Access to Nutrition Index is a new global initiative
that evaluates food and beverage manufacturers on their policies, practices,
and performance related to obesity and undernutrition. By providing companies
with a tool for benchmarking their nutrition practices and serving as an
impartial source of information for interested stakeholders, ATNI aims to
encourage companies to increase consumer access to nutritious products and
responsibly exercise their influence on consumer choice and behavior.
ATNI was funded by the Global Alliance for Improved
Nutrition (GAIN), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome
Trust. Development of ATNI was housed in GAIN's Innovative Finance Program and
involved an extensive, multi-stakeholder process that included input from
governments, international organizations, civil society, academia, and
investors at every phase of the process. It was also guided by advice from an
independent, multi-stakeholder advisory panel and a group of experts on
nutrition. Company research and assessments were conducted by MSCI ESG Research
using publicly available documents supplemented by additional information
requested from each company.
