Community and Health
The partnership your Company has created with Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and the Naandi Foundation to supply iron fortified Tiger biscuits to supplement the Mid-Day Meal program in schools, has been recognized as a unique program globally by GAIN. This prompted the World Bank Institute to write a case study and your Company was invited to make a commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative, a non-partisan catalyst for action that brings together a community of global leaders to devise and implement solutions for some of the world�s pressing challenges like nutrition.
Iron deficiency among Indian children is a key cause of school dropouts as well as decreased productivity. Based on the experience from the Britannia-GAIN-Naandi partnership, your Company created a new offering for all consumers � Tiger Banana, a delightful banana biscuit fortified with vitamins and minerals. In keeping with its core essence of �Swasth Khao Tan Man Jagao�, your Company constantly strives to find sustainable opportunities to drive home the message of nutrition and good food habits among children at the right age. Britannia is committed to help secure every child�s right to growth and development through good food everyday. Its largest power brand, Tiger, is also being rolled out, fortified with iron.
Your Company was also the first in the industry to remove trans fat from most its biscuits as yet another meaningful step in offering products that are both healthy and enjoyable.
