GLOBAL INDEX 2016

GLOBAL RANKING
The ATNI Overall ranking shows companies’
performance across all Categories of the
methodology in the context of both obesity, dietrelated
chronic diseases and undernutrition.
Companies with very low scores make little if any
information about their nutrition practices publicly
available and had minimal or no engagement in
the research process.
The sub-ranking Nutrition General reflects
companies’ efforts to deliver healthy food choices
and responsibly influence consumer behavior.
The sub-ranking Undernutrition reflects
companies’ efforts specifically aimed at
undernutrition, including the fortification of
products with micronutrients otherwise deficient
in the diet. The sub-ranking Marketing of breastmilk
substitutes assesses the extent to which
companies market all their BMS products in line
with the recommendations of The International
Code of Marketing of Breast-milk substitutes.
The overall score of the four BMS companies
reflect an adjustment based on their score on the
BMS sub-ranking.
