Proposed best-practice nutrition-related corporate reporting metrics for Australian food manufacturers, quick-service restaurants and retailers

The proposed set of reporting metrics offers evidence-based guidance for the disclosure of nutrition-related actions by Australian food companies. The proposed metrics can inform government, public health groups and investors on best-practice approaches to monitor corporate nutrition practices and guide related policy decisions. Widespread implementation of the reporting metrics would be facilitated by integration with mandatory corporate sustainability reporting standards, with routine monitoring and enforcement by government, coupled with fit-for-purpose tools for comparing the healthiness of company product portfolios.
