Mission, Vision and Values

Guided by ATNi’s mission, vision, and values, we develop and deliver accountability tools and strategies to empower key actors in the food system—starting with industry—to drive sustainable access to nutritious and affordable foods.

Through collaboration with companies, investors, policymakers, consumer representatives, and civic leaders, we catalyse meaningful change.

Vision

Our vision is a world where markets contribute to providing access to nutritious and affordable diets for all. We envision a world where all people have access healthy diets which support optimal physical and mental health, leading to healthier, more resilient societies.

Mission

Our mission is to empower food system actors — starting with industry — to accelerate access nutritious, affordable and sustainable diets. We develop data-driven tools, facilitate dialogues and thought leadership, and support policies focusing on the role of markets in transforming the food system.

Values

ATNi values its independence above all else. We take no money from industry to maintain the neutrality of our rankings. Companies are invited to engage and share data, but there is no opt-out and companies who choose not to engage are still assessed.

We are evidence-driven, open and transparent, inclusive and collegiate.

Approach

ATNi catalyses change through evidence collection, analysis, collaboration, and peer learning. We bring about market change by leveraging the actions of companies, investors, and policy makers. We provide concrete recommendations to companies increase the healthiness of product offerings. We support investors with data and analysis to make investment decisions which consider health. We ask policymakers for to regulate markets where voluntary regulations are not effective. Influencing business policies and practice to favour nutrition remains a central priority for ATNi.
