Annual Survey Asks How Consumer Goods Companies are Empowering Consumers

This is the only such global survey covering both retailers and consumer goods manufacturers and is seen as a critical driver in ensuring consumer goods industry continues to make progress against its public resolutions and commitments, as part of The Consumer Goods Forum. It is developed in conjunction with Deloitte.

The CGF asks all members to participate and complete those questions that are relevant to their businesses, while other consumer goods companies are also strongly encouraged to get involved. The Health & Wellness team remain available should participants have any questions or need help to complete the survey ([email protected]).

The 2016 edition of the survey - with more participants and bigger stats - was the biggest to-date. Results showed:

Coordinated with the support of the CGF's Health & Wellness Pillar and its measurement working group, led by Ahold Delhaize and Unilever, the survey has continued to go from strength-to-strength since its launch. It is, therefore, now becoming an ever more important resource for both members and external stakeholders.

The CGF remains a unique global platform that inspires members to drive positive change. Last year CGF members' efforts were picked up by global media - from Bloomberg to Fortune magazine - and showed exactly how the consumer goods industry is committed to being part of the solution to today's global public health challenges. The CGF is hopeful that more and more CGF members will use this unique opportunity to report on their individual actions to allow the CGF to tell the collective story on how the industry helps people live healthier lives.

If your company wants to be publicly acknowledged as being part of the solution, complete the simple survey before the September 2017 deadline.
