ATNi's Investors in Nutrition and Health
As shareholders and bondholders of most of the companies rated on our Indexes, institutional investors have the potential to drive substantial change in these companies’ commitments, practices and disclosure on nutrition.
ATNi works extensively with the investment community to ensure that our Indexes are designed to provide them with the in-depth information they need on companies’ performance on nutrition not available from any other source. Investors can then use our Indexes and reports in their ESG research, investment analysis and engagement.
ATNi supports Investors in Nutrition and Health by:
- Ensuring you are kept up to date about developments in nutrition relevant to investment
- Providing and developing materials to support your engagement with companies, e.g. questions to use with Investor Expectations, best-practice examples
- Access to ATNi research analysts
- The development of research to help build the case for nutrition as a material issue for industry, such as the Materiality of Nutrition report (cont.)
- Publicising via our website and social media the work of the investor signatories to amplify their own communications
- Communicating investor and finance sector perspectives at nutrition events and conferences
- Growing the signatory base
- Maintaining the Investor Portal on the website, with relevant materials, news and links to our work and that of other relevant organisations
- Facilitating collaborative investor engagement with companies ranked in our Indexes and publishing engagement analysis reports

Materiality of Nutrition report
In this groundbreaking report, ATNi and Planet Tracker build the business case for investment in nutrition. It analyses 20 of the largest global food manufacturers and compares the healthiness of their food product portfolios with their profits and market valuations.
Materiality of Nutrition reportThe report finds an association between companies with healthier food product portfolios and higher profitability in comparison to their unhealthy peers, creating opportunities for investors. However, poor disclosure and a general lack of information observed constitutes a risk for investors and makes definitive conclusions difficult – indicating a need for greater study and analysis.
