潜水简报:

潜入洞察力：
In the last decade or so, several CPG companies have made big commitments around sustainability, from cutting碳排放量toimproving packaging。但这些目标错过了一些重要的东西：产品实际上有多健康。消费者可以看出关于食品包装的基本营养信息，但通过查看百分比和成分列表，产品如何符合消费者推荐的健康饮食。
Two groups — ShareAction, which uses its shareholder power to push for companies to adopt responsible policies, and the Healthy Markets Initiative, which works with investors to help them promote reforms — worked extensively with Unilever toward this announcement, the release says. ShareAction investors had previously requested that Unilever introduce a resolution on nutrition at its annual general meeting, but it was withdrawn along with the announcement.
Hanneke Faber, Unilever's president of Foods & Refreshment, said in a written statement that the company has had "constructive dialogue" with ShareAction and the Healthy Markets Initiative.
“我们分享了对拥有雄心勃勃的营养和健康战略的重要性，并且公司应该发表雄心勃勃的目标来交往，”Faber说。“我相信，通过这些新的举措，我们将为我们的行业进行营养透明度的新基准，并加快对公共卫生的积极影响。”
Unilever pledged to use at least six government-endorsed Nutrient Profile Models for its measurements, including the U.K.'s High Fat Salt Sugar initiative, which prohibits promotional prices for less-healthy foods; Europe's report card-like NutriScore; and Chile's front of pack logos. Its own Highest Nutritional Standards were developed in 2018 and show the company's target calories, as well as sodium, saturated fat and sugar content for a variety of categories ranging from sauces to snacks.
Unilever is already well-positioned in terms of improving the healthfulness of its portfolio. According to the获得营养计划的2021年全球指数, Unilever is the world's second-highest-ranked company when it comes to policy, commitments, practices and disclosure surrounding healthy eating. But even so, there is非常适合联合利华改善。The report ranksUnilever's product healthfulnesscloser to the middle of the pack at 17, and estimated about 15% of its global retail sales in 2019 qualified as healthy products.
凭借本报告的宣布，联合利华似乎挑战了其他CPG公司不仅仅是说他们将使产品更健康，但实际上衡量他们正在反对政府机构设定的标准。研究表明加工食品可以增加健康风险，甚至增加风险early death. These kinds of annual reports can be used to show that food companies are concerned about their consumers' health and build their trust.
