BIA-Obesity Assessment Tool

Company policies and commitments related to obesity prevention and nutrition were assessed using the BIA-Obesity (Business Impact Assessment - Obesity and population nutrition) tool developed by INFORMAS, a global network of public health researchers that monitors food environments in >20 countries worldwide.

These methods were adapted from the Access to Nutrition Index (ATNI) that benchmarks the nutrition-related commitments, performance and disclosure practices of global food and beverage manufacturers. The BIA-Obesity tool includes sector specific indicators, that were tailored to the Australian context.
