The bar graph to the left shows company performance across the seven Index categories, which are key topic areas of assessment, and scores are shown for each category. The circles above provide an alternate view on the company’s overall results, showing the score per indicator type.
Main areas
of strength
- Emami Agrotech is assessed for the first time in the India Index 2020. ATNI welcomes Emami Agrotech’s interest in the Index methodology and participation in the Index stakeholder meetings.
- A number of Emami Agrotech’s products are voluntarily fortified with vitamins A and D according to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI)’s Food Safety and Standards (Fortification of Foods) Regulation, 2018. The company could further improve its approach by voluntarily fortifying all relevant products according to FSSAI guidance, and publicly disclosing its approach to do so.
- Emami Agrotech demonstrates a focus on food quality and safety. The company discloses on its website an ISO-certified Food Safety Management System, and recently obtained further ISO certification for its quality control and research and development laboratory at its Haldia manufacturing facility.
- Emami Agrotech’s limited number of edible oil products constitute only part of the company’s overall portfolio and the company has no comprehensive nutrition strategy. However, the company publicly discloses how it has assigned managerial oversight of sustainability issues to two named executives.
- The company has an employee health and wellness program that focuses on physical activity. It could enhance the benefits of this program by adding elements related to nutrition and healthy diets.
Priority areas
for improvement
- Emami Agrotech ranks sixteenth overall in the India Index with a score of 1.1 out of 10.
- Emami Agrotech ranks thirteenth in the Product Profile with a score of 4.1 out of 10. It is estimated that 33% of its 2018 sales were derived from products achieving a Health Star Rating (HSR) of 3.5 or more out of 5, i.e. the ‘healthy’ threshold. The company performs well in terms of its mean product healthiness – ranking fourth out of 16 companies. In contrast, when compared with its competitors within the edible oil industry segment, Emami Agrotech’s peers score better. It is recommended that Emami Agrotech assesses the portfolios of competitors to explore opportunities to introduce healthier products.
- The company is encouraged to indicate how it could help address the nutrition and health priorities set out in the National Nutrition Strategy and Vision 2022 (Kuposhan Mukt Bharat – free from malnutrition, across the life cycle), and POSHAN Abhiyaan, through its core business model.
- Emami Agrotech should define which of its products are healthy based on objective nutrition criteria. It should consider adopting a policy to improve the accessibility of its healthy and/or fortified products, taking into account how it could reach low-income, rural or urban populations, including in aspirational districts.
- Emami Agrotech could substantially increase its score in Category D – Marketing – by making commitments to market its products responsibly to all consumers and not to market any products to children (its products are unlikely to be marketed to children).
- Emami Agrotech should adopt and publish a labeling policy to ensure that nutrition information is provided on all its products according to the Codex Alimentarius guidelines, and in compliance with local regulations in India. Further, it is encouraged to implement an interpretive front-of-pack labeling system as soon as possible, that is aligned with other companies or industry associations, and is developed in partnership with the Government and other relevant stakeholders.
- Emami Agrotech could increase public disclosure of its nutrition-related commitments, policies and practices in India and is encouraged to engage with ATNI to allow for a more complete assessment of these aspects.
