 This study found that the BIA Obesity Australia Initiative, which benchmarks major Australian food and beverage companies on their nutrition-related policies, has had a positive impact on the company's policies and practices. Company representatives reported that the initiative had helped them to improve their nutrition-related policies, strategies and disclosure practices and had raised their awareness of the importance of addressing nutrition issues. The findings suggest that this type of initiative could be beneficial in encouraging food and beverage companies to take greater responsibility for addressing diet-related diseases.
