This report, prepared by the University of Oxford and The George Institute for Global Health for UNICEF, presents a method to assess the healthiness of food and beverage products sold by the top 20 global companies. It classifies products based on WHO EURO Nutrient Profile Model and quantifies the proportion of company sales derived from unhealthy foods. The findings show that only 11% of revenue came from products classified as healthy, highlighting the risk these companies pose to public health.
The reference tool aims to guide international agencies in assessing potential conflicts of interest and reputational risks when engaging with food and beverage corporations. It presents country-wise data, cross-national comparisons, and identifies critical companies whose sales heavily depend on sugary, salty, and fatty products. This tool is intended to support transparent and evidence-based corporate engagement strategies, especially concerning sponsorship, partnerships, and fundraising in global nut.
