Britannia, India’s leading Food Company created the Britannia Nutrition Foundation (BNF) in 2009 with the belief that Every Child has a Right to Growth and Development which includes not just the Right to Food, but also the Right to Nutrition. The purpose of the BNF is to provide a forum for organizations and experts in diverse fields who share the same conviction, to find models and solutions for the multi dimensional nutrition challenge. Drawing from the commitment and knowledge of key experts in this area, BNF has evolved a strong framework for effective action by focussing on three pillars – Scientific knowledge building and dissemination, Awareness building and Creating a platform for action.
Our belief that “every child has a right to growth and development through adequate and nutritious food”, is the driving force behind this initiative. This is also our way of uniquely combining business leadership and corporate responsibility, in a manner that is sustainable. All of us in Britannia have been entrusted with the responsibility to build and grow the best food brand in India and we take this responsibility seriously and comprehensively.
The 3rd BNF symposium was organized in New Delhi on 2nd September, 2011 in New Delhi during the National Nutrition Week.
