This booklet consists of a collection of examples that showcase the work and
direction of organisations that have made public commitments using the
Nutrition Accountability Framework (
https://globalnutritionreport.org/resources/naf/ ). Global organisations such
as Ajinomoto, Eat Well Global, Google, Griffith Foods, Indofood, Kao, ofi,
Olam, Quorn Foods, Royal DSM and Unilever contributed to this booklet. The case
studies explore what these enterprises have done regarding workforce nutrition,
the impact of their work and challenges faced which will hopefully inspire
other companies to do more for their workers in office and throughout their
supply chains.
"Over the last 12 months, we have seen more companies join us on our journey, a
journey focused on enhancing workforce nutrition programmes and cementing this
action through a positive commitment to improve workforce nutrition at work. As
with everything the CGF does, our focus has to be on driving actions and
sharing knowledge, and this is a great example of the impact we can have when
we work together on these key topics." – Wai-Chan Chan Managing Director, The
Consumer Goods Forum
The WNA was founded with a core belief that good nutrition is a key driver for
both healthy lives and healthy business. To achieve this, the Alliance aims to
support employers to adopt and expand workforce nutrition programmes to
positively impact over three million employees in member organisations and
supply chains by 2025 and over ten million by 2030.
Why is workforce nutrition important? At this point, one in nine people is
undernourished, and one in three people is overweight or obese, bringing
significant losses to individuals, households, economies and businesses due to
malnutrition.
We know that 58% of the global population will spend at least one third of
their adult lives at work, making the workplace an optimal point of
intervention to contribute to improved health and wellbeing of individuals,
their families and society at large.
Thus, by leveraging the workplace as a connector to people, the WNA can bring
access to and knowledge about healthy eating to millions of people around the
global through workforce nutrition. Global acknowledgement came at the
Nutrition for Growth Summit in Tokyo in 2021 where workforce nutrition was
identified as a win-win – benefiting people, businesses, and economies.
"We believe the 'business case' for change is strong. With workers spending, on
average, one third of their lives at work, the workplace is an optimal point of
intervention to contribute to improved health and wellbeing of individuals,
their families and society at large. We are now calling on more organisations
to join this movement." – Lawrence Haddad, Executive Director, Global Alliance
for Improved Nutrition (GAIN).
