Danone, Mars, Nestlé, and Unilever Raise the Expectations for Policy Leadership
Statement of Tom Murray, Vice President, EDF+Business
NEWS RELEASE
“The launch of the Sustainable Food Policy Alliance is a promising step forward by four influential companies – Danone North America; Mars, Incorporated; Nestlé USA; and Unilever United States. We’re hopeful that this new Alliance could serve as a model for engagement that moves beyond the lowest common denominator and leverages collaboration to inspire policy action that improves transparency for consumers, supports farm communities, and tackles climate change.
“These companies recognize that it is no longer enough to tend their own sustainability gardens. Today’s leading companies are expected to work together to improve sustainability across the global food supply chain and to support the policies needed to ensure a thriving economy and healthy planet.”
— Tom Murray, Vice President, EDF+Business
