OLD Impact

Our impact objectives are clear:

Systems level – driving markets to empower access to affordable and healthy diets.
Product level – half of companies’ food & beverage sales are derived from ‘healthy’ products.
Population level – reduced prevalence of diet related diseases and improved health for all.

To reach these impact targets ATNI’s new theory of change embraces a three Pillar approach.

Pillar 1: Tools & Indexes

ATNI is respected throughout the nutrition and research world for its robust methodologies and its deep dive research. Our Tools & Indexes – from the Global Index to the US and India Spotlight Indexes, play a pivotal role in holding food and drink manufacturers to account. ATNI believes good decision-making needs good data and we strive to continue to be best in class, measuring and transforming markets.

Pillar 2: Alliances

We are creating partnerships and alliances across the sector and the globe to add muscle and urgency to our case for change. We support our partners with data and counsel to aid ongoing activity in their specialist area and region. Our partners include the media, investors, policy makers and other NGOs.

Pillar 3: Innovation & thought leadership to influence markets

ATNI is determined the evidence base we have reaches the right people and helps inform progressive decision making. We are developing new services and tools to shine light on best practice and identify innovations that remove access barriers. We want to share and shout about the good we find.

Erin Boyd Kappelhof, Co-CEO, Eat Well Global

“Businesses are often considered to be part of the nutrition problem – however, we should not underestimate the role the private sector can and must play in ending malnutrition. Through its accountability tools ATNI plays an important role in holding the food and beverage industry to account and encouraging action”

Gerda Verburg, Former UN Assistant Secretary General and Coordinator of the Scaling up Nutrition (SUN) Movement

“In the nutrition space, the @ATNIndex is the gold standard, as the only global organisation offering the right level of granularity, the credentials and the means to support demonstrating the impact of our sector’s commitments, says Renaldi.”

International Food and Beverage Alliance

In 2013, ATNI was founded as a not-for-profit organization to improve nutrition around the globe by assessing the private sector and driving companies to improve access to nutritious foods.

Driving accountability of the private sector through benchmarking remains a core activity. Moving forward, ATNI is enhancing its work with investors and is expanding into policy support in partnership with others.
