FrieslandCampina has moved up from the third to the second position in the Access to Nutrition initiative (ATNi) Global Index, a global ranking of food and beverage companies working to make nutritious food more affordable and accessible.
This result endorses FrieslandCampina’s dedication to health and nutrition, as well as its active role in tackling malnutrition. FrieslandCampina is recognised for the focus, transparency and consistency of its approach and improvement of its products.
FrieslandCampina provides nutritious and affordable dairy products to people in many parts of the world; from young children to seniors. The company is committed to reducing malnutrition and making quality nutrition accessible for everyone, regardless of income. This is done by continuously improving the consumer product portfolio, reducing sugar, fat, and salt without compromising taste and texture. In countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Pakistan, small-packaged dairy products ensure that low-income communities have access to high-quality nutrition daily.
FrieslandCampina is among the nine companies in the Index that have achieved at least 50% of sales from ‘healthier’ products. ATNi also acknowledges the company’s commercial affordability strategy for products classified as ‘healthier’ through various approaches, like the Broadening Access to Nutrition programme.
“At FrieslandCampina, we believe that access to nutritious food is a fundamental human right“
Corine Tap, President FrieslandCampina Asia: “At FrieslandCampina, we believe that access to nutritious food is a fundamental human right. Our 'Broadening Access to Nutrition' strategy in Asia addresses the triple burden of malnutrition—undernutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and rising obesity—by focusing on affordability and accessibility of nutritious dairy products for families across diverse markets. Insights from our Southeast Asia Nutrition Surveys (SEANUTS) are instrumental in developing targeted, affordable products that meet children's nutritional needs. Additionally, we are collaborating with local governments, health workers, and schools to promote well-balanced diets and active lifestyles. We are pleased that ATNi recognizes our commitment to driving sustainable health outcomes and creating meaningful change.”
