Principles for Multistakeholder Engagement
ISDI, its members and manufacturers of special dietary foods recognise and embrace their responsibility to operate in a responsible, ethical and professional manner.
Read about what ISDI stands for and the principles that guide ISDI’s work with policy-makers, legislators, civil society organisations, academia, health experts and all interested stakeholders.
Responsible Marketing
ISDI and its members support public health goals that enhance optimal nutrition and recognise the importance of responsible marketing practices that are both ethical and transparent.
This includes protecting and promoting breastfeeding and ensuring the safe and appropriate use of infant formula, follow-up formula and growing up milks. This is why we support and promote exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life, and continued breastfeeding thereafter, with the gradual introduction of appropriate complementary foods as advised by healthcare professionals.
Healthcare professionals
ISDI and its members support public health goals that enhance optimal nutrition, including protecting and promoting breastfeeding and ensuring the safe and appropriate use of infant formula and other foods for infants and young children on the basis of up-to-date, scientific and factual information.
Environment & Sustainability
Climate change and environmental sustainability are critical issues facing the world today and sustainable practices, such as reducing carbon emissions, conserving natural resources and preserving ecosystems, are vital for improving both environmental and human health.
Manufacturers of special dietary foods recognise their responsibility towards the environment and have long been working on significantly reducing their impact. This includes by using sustainably managed and renewable resources, more efficient operations, better waste management and environmentally-friendly packaging, as well as forming partnerships for sustainable food production and encouraging their partners to adopt best practices.
