Workplace Nutrition

SBN Myanmar shares learnings from practice in other SBNs around health and nutrition interventions in and around the workplace; to facilitate engagement with (garments) factories and other large companies (e.g. in the financial sector) in order to set up programs to promote eating healthy in and around the workplace. It can also play a role in linking healthy food suppliers (e.g. fortified foods) to factories. The Nutrition in the workplace focus-group can share its knowledge with policy makers and provide advice on developing comprehensive guidelines for workplace nutrition.

Consumer Awareness and Demand Creation

SBN plays an important role in generating nutrition awareness amongst both businesses and food consumers. Setting up the SBN in itself will contribute to awareness creation on the importance of nutrition and on the role that companies have to play. Together with non-profit organizations, SBN members could initiate active nutrition communication to make Myanmar consumers more aware of the importance of nutrition and eating healthy and diversely.
