New Hope Network’s Post

I appreciate that I operate in a social media vacuum of health and wellness, with my feed full of like minded people. I am hoping that you operate in a wider group feed, with the abililty to reach people who can make a difference to our food environment. Our food environment and the food we have access to, heavily influences the food choices we make. Yet food companies continue to push out unhealthy food products, making it harder for us to make good choices day to day. Nestle shareholders have had enough and have filed a resolution ahead of its AGM this month to ask the company to reduce it's ludicriously high reliance on unhealthy food products. Approx. 70% of it's products are classified as unhealthy. 70%!! What does unhealthy mean? It means by eating it, it will be detrimental to your health. I cannot fathom why would a company can morally have a product portfolio like this. It is no wonder rates of food related chronic ill health is rising if consumers are encouraged to buy food that is detrimental to their health! You can add your voice to the voices of shareholders by sharing this post and strongly encourage Nestle (and other food manufacturers) to set meaningful targets on healthful foods AND follow through with their goals. #food #foodenvironment #unhealthyfood #healthyfood #takeaction #nestle #

Wellness is a disruptive force. Bain & Company released its 2024 list of Insurgent Brands. To qualify as disruptive, companies had to meet four criteria: 1️⃣ Generated >$25M annual revenue 2️⃣ Gained at least 10% annually over the past two years 3️⃣ Grew >10x faster than their category’s average growth rate in the past 5 years 4️⃣ Operated independently or was very recently (within the last two years) acquired On average, these brands cost 3x more than competing private label products. Charging a premium, they sell consumers on clear values and innovation. And, more breakthrough brands—like Bobbie, Bloom Nutrition, poppi, CELSIUS Holdings, Inc., and Athletic Brewing Co.—stand out by appealing to health-seekers. Generating up to half a billion in sales, insurgent brands prove it's possible to scale without selling to a CPG giant. But, staying on top is tough — and 40% of last year’s brands fell off the list.

💥Nestle shareholders have filed a resolution ahead of its AGM this month to ask the company to reduce its reliance on unhealthy products ---- The Background: 👉In 2023, Nestle introduced a health target. The crux of the issue is that the health target of the world's biggest food manufacturer does not include a commitment to reduce unhealthy parts of its portfolio 👉This is problematic - recent analysis showed 70% of products in Nestle's portfolio are currently classified as unhealthy (Oxford University & Bite Back) ----- Shareholder Response: 👉At last count, Nestle investors with a combined $1.68tn in assets have asked Nestle to set an internationally recognised target (e.g based on a nutrient profile model) to reduce the PROPORTION of sales it makes from unhealthy foods ____ 💬 “As Nestlé has consistently failed to set out how it will shift the balance of its sales towards healthier food options, concerned investors have been left with no option but to bring forward a resolution at the company’s AGM in April,” Catherine Howarth OBE ____ Children's Alliance, Obesity Health Alliance & many other public health allies back ShareAction's work with investors to set meaningful targets on health. We're working with ShareAction to add our voices to the investor campaign ----- If you support the shareholder resolution, add your organisation's voice below 🙏 Holly Gabriel RNutr Thomas Abrams Simon Rawson

As medications that reduce hunger, they certainly affect the daily needs of consumers – helping them to ignore their favourite dessert after lunch or snacks while watching TV. Brand and product innovation managers must begin to "war-game" their product portfolios for both GLP-1 users and non-users. But how can you War Game when market data doesn't yet exist at the necessary detail level, consumers opinions are not yet set and habits have not been formed? EPIC Conjoint have compressed project timelines from months to days, and enabled regular market checks to be affordable, especially when the risk or size of the prize is still unclear. This really is a revolution in food we have not seen since the 1950s and snacking business will be at the flashpoint of the new habits and market fragmentation. Learn much more about the impact of GLP1 drugs on consumer behaviour, as well as the importance of EPIC conjoint analysis, in the blog by our Commercial Director FMCG & Retail Andy O'Brien because Knowing and not doing is the same as not knowing. https://lnkd.in/ddxRJ_Sk #GLP1 #ConjointAnalysis #SmartPricing #CPG
