Arla Foods ranks 5th in Global Nutrition Index-2021

Arla Foods of Denmark has risen to fifth place from 14th in a Global Nutrition Index-2021 for consistent improvement. 

The Global Access to Nutrition Index (ATNI) evaluates the world's largest food and beverage manufacturers' policies and performance related to the world's most pressing nutrition challenges to prepare its index.

The entities placed in the index were assessed on their commitments, practices, and disclosure of governance and management, the production and distribution of healthy, affordable, accessible products and how they influence consumer choices and behaviour.

The key drivers identified towards Arla's improved performance are the new labelling policy, responsible marketing policies, and an improvement in the healthiness of the product portfolio. The progress reaffirms the company's global commitment to affordable nutrition during the ongoing Covid-induced pandemic.

"Our latest score from ATNI is something we can be very proud of. It's a great testament to the strong work done in the past five years by many people across Arla led by the Global Nutrition team," said Peder Tuborgh, global CEO of Arla Foods.

"Bringing health to the world is central to our vision and contributing to healthy, affordable diets for everyone is equally as important to Arla as driving down our carbon footprint," he said.
