Annex
Global Index
2018
Two multi-stakeholder groups – the Expert Group and the Independent Advisory Panel – have provided advice on many of ATNF’s development since January 2011. Because part of the intended impact of ATNF includes active engagement by various stakeholder groups with food and beverage manufacturers, the Indexes needed to be a useful tool for a range of interested parties. This led to the selection of Expert Group and International Advisory Panel members with a wide range of nutrition related expertise. In order to ensure the independence of the Index development process, no current executives from food and beverage companies were members of either group.
Members of each of these groups have served in their personal capacities and in an advisory role. The views in this report do not necessarily reflect the views of these groups’ members or of their institutions. The ATNI development team is responsible for the final scope and content of the Index.
