Sharon Bligh, Director, Health & Wellness at The Consumer Goods Forum, said, "It is important that we show industry leadership on positive actions. Across the CGF Pillars we will continue to share best practices to inspire those who need help to take the next step. By sharing real actions these companies are part of an improvement process towards reaching our targets. We know our members take the obesity epidemic and increase in NCDs seriously and it is our job at the CGF to provide the global platform that supports both implementation and knowledge sharing."
The booklet, the fifth in a series of case study booklets published by the CGF to help members share best practices, comes one week ahead of the publication of the annual Health & Wellness Progress Report. The report provides data on how members are meeting the CGF's Health & Wellness Resolutions and Commitments. In the previous report, data showed members had reformulated over 84,000 products in 2015 and over 2.3 million employees had participated in employee health and wellness programmes.
