Sustainable and healthy food
We are working towards a healthy, sustainable and fair food system. Where innovation, transparency and cooperation between businesses, governments and citizens ensure a food system that contributes to healthy people and a healthy world.
We support companies in the agri-food chain and (regional and national) governments in developing and promoting a sustainable and healthy food supply. Through strategy, policy, communication, food innovation and the promotion of cooperation, we are accelerating the food transition, contributing to a better supply and making it easier for consumers to choose sustainable and healthy food.
We come into the picture as soon as an issue arises, from strategic direction to practical implementation. Together with companies, retailers, governments and social organisations, we work on sustainable solutions for the protein transition, CO2 reduction, organic food, Nutri-Score, quality labels, food waste and true pricing.
We combine substantive expertise, up-to-date insights and strategic stakeholder management to realise initiatives that contribute to a future-proof food supply.
We build on expertise gained in the field and work together with stakeholders to future-proof our clients' mission, vision and proposition. In this way, we achieve a sustainable and healthy food supply that meets social and legal requirements — from product to packaging.
We come into the picture as soon as an issue arises, from strategic direction to practical implementation. We provide a tailor-made offer for every company so that we can work with internal and external stakeholders to develop widely supported solutions for a sustainable and healthy food supply, including packaging. We provide a relevant communication strategy that strikes the right chord with the right stakeholders.
For thirty years, we have been contributing to a more sustainable and healthier food system with our advisory and communication work. A good example is PLUS, which has been named the most responsible supermarket by the GfK consumer panel for eight years running because of its sustainability strategy. We are also proud of the increase in products with (Top) quality marks such as On the way to Planet Proof, organic and FairTrade, including for dairy, meat, bananas and coffee. We have also helped local authorities with their ambitious local food strategies. In addition, we are proud to fulfil our coordinating role in encouraging the food industry to work towards a healthier composition of their products. We have also collaborated on more than twenty dossiers for the safety assessment of new foods, a crucial step in actually being able to introduce them to the market.
We support organisations in accelerating the transition to a fair, healthy and sustainable food system – with strategic advice, implementation and stakeholder dialogue that leads to real change.
We support the dairy sector in its transition to a future-proof chain – with strategic advice, stakeholder dialogue and knowledge of sustainability, the market and policy, from grass to glass.
We assist governments in developing and implementing effective food policy – with substantive expertise, process guidance and communication that translates policy into practice.
We assist producers and retailers in improving and positioning their product range in accordance with scientific nutritional standards and current regulations – with accurate communication.
We assist companies in making their packaging more sustainable, from PPWR compliance to strategic policy and price differentiation, with concrete savings opportunities.
We support companies in bringing innovative products to market by ensuring that these products comply with EU and international legislation and directives.
We support companies in complying with legislation and (international) guidelines in the field of novel foods, animal feed and food safety, nutrition, and nutrition and health claims.
By 2050, the food system will be healthy, sustainable and fair. We will eat more plant-based, organic and local food, with less waste and at fair prices. Clear consumer information, animal-friendly livestock farming and fossil-free, recyclable packaging will be the norm. Thanks to innovations, the range of products on offer will be more responsible and available and accessible to everyone.
A strong team is ready to start.
