L’utilisation de Milbros UV Graphs améliore la sécurité et la rapidité du nettoyage des réservoirs de produits chimiques

BOSTON et LONDRES, 07 nov. 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Milbros, une solution de Veson Nautical et la base de données de produits liquides en vrac la plus fiable et la plus complète du secteur, a lancé Milbros UV Graphs, un produit visant à révolutionner les pratiques traditionnelles de nettoyage des réservoirs dans les flottes du monde entier.

Milbros UV Graphs a été développé pour fonctionner aux côtés d’un spectrophotomètre, un dispositif dorénavant installé sur les navires acceptant un échantillon du résidu ou de l’eau de nettoyage du réservoir. L’appareil mesure l’absorbance de la lumière à différentes longueurs d’onde, y compris la gamme des ultraviolets (UV).

Associées à un graphique UV, les données indiquent la quantité de lumière UV absorbée à des longueurs d’onde spécifiques, vous permettant ainsi d’identifier les contaminants restants dans le réservoir. À l’heure actuelle, Milbros propose plus de 250 de ces graphiques UV, et ce nombre est appelé à augmenter.

Les clients peuvent télécharger le tableau des produits chimiques requis et utiliser le spectrophotomètre embarqué pour générer un graphique. Si la lecture du graphique est inférieure à 100 parties par million (ppm), le réservoir est propre. Dans le cas contraire, le graphique indique la quantité de contaminants encore présents, ce qui permet à l’équipe d’entretien de calculer avec précision le degré de nettoyage à effectuer.

« Les compagnies maritimes sont soumises à une pression accrue pour limiter leur temps d’immobilisation au port et réduire au maximum les coûts », a déclaré le capitaine Caspar Lavall, responsable principal des produits chez Milbros. « Milbros UV Graphs offre aux affréteurs, aux armateurs et aux inspecteurs une approche plus sûre et plus efficace garantissant la conformité tout en augmentant leurs résultats. »

Le capitaine Lavall a précisé que le nettoyage chimique des navires–citernes est un élément rigoureux de la manutention sécuritaire des cargaisons et que, s’il n’est pas effectué correctement, il peut entraîner des risques pour la sécurité environnementale, des détériorations de cargaisons, des retards et des coûts superflus.

Ces coûts peuvent inclure à la fois le nettoyage des réservoirs qui demeurent contaminés ainsi que le sur–nettoyage des réservoirs lorsque cela n’est pas nécessaire. La solution UV Graphs peut assurer qu’aucun de ces scénarios n’affecte le délai de rotation des navires lorsqu’ils sont au port.

L’utilisation de graphiques UV est complémentaire aux méthodes traditionnelles de nettoyage des navires–citernes, qui imposent aux équipes de pénétrer dans des espaces confinés pour prélever des échantillons dans différentes sections du réservoir, les exposant ainsi à des produits chimiques nocifs. Le recours à un graphique UV réduit le nombre d’entrées dans les réservoirs en permettant aux opérateurs et à l’équipage d’effectuer la plupart des inspections à distance.

Les graphiques UV sont également considérés par de nombreux inspecteurs comme une preuve valable de l’inspection du réservoir et accélèrent les processus d’approbation en permettant aux équipes d’exploitation de soumettre les résultats par e–mail.

« Le secteur des chimiquiers est confronté à de nouveaux défis complexes et il est essentiel de disposer d’outils numériques adéquats pour gérer avec succès les risques liés à la préparation des navires pour les cargaisons volatiles », a conclu le capitaine Lavall. « Milbros UV Graphs est une solution numérique capable d’offrir un avantage concurrentiel sur le marché. »

Remarques de l’éditeur

Bitget lista Swell (SWELL) no Launchpool, Poolx e Spot com 23.440.000 tokens em recompensas

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Bitget, principal bolsa de criptomoedas e Web3, anunciou a venda de tokens SWELL em sua plataforma, abrangendo diversos produtos como Launchpool, Poolx e negociação Spot. Com isso, os usuários qualificados podem ganhar recompensas de um total de 23.440.000 tokens SWELL. A primeira iniciativa é uma campanha Launchpool que permite que os usuários bloqueiem BGB e USDT para participar de um pool de 19.500.000 tokens SWELL. Esse evento exclusivo estará disponível de 7 de novembro de 2024, às 10:00 UTC, até 14 de novembro de 2024, às 10:00 UTC, permitindo que os usuários participem do crescente ecossistema de restaking da Ethereum por meio dos protocolos avançados de staking da Swell.

O evento Poolx para o SWELL aloca 1.800.000 tokens, onde os usuários podem fazer o staking de seus tokens para minerar mais. Além disso, foi organizada uma promoção Candybomb, na qual 2.000.000 de tokens SWELL serão distribuídos aos usuários, dependendo de suas atividades de trading.

A Swell, projetada como uma camada de rendimento de restaking para a Ethereum, apresenta diversas opções líquidas de staking e restaking adaptadas para finanças descentralizadas (DeFi). Como a primeira a oferecer um rollup com restaking de camada 2 verticalmente integrado, a Swell visa aumentar os retornos do usuário e a eficiência do staking na rede Ethereum. Em março de 2022, a Swell Network arrecadou US$ 3,75 milhões em uma rodada inicial liderada pela Framework Ventures, com o apoio da IOSG Ventures e da Maven 11 Capital.

A Swell divulga a economia dos tokens (tokenomics) de seu token nativo, SWELL, em 9 de outubro de 2024. O suprimento total do SWELL será de 10 bilhões de tokens, com 8,5% alocados para a comunidade. O token SWELL servirá a três principais objetivos: governança para o Swell DAO, restaking para proteger os aplicativos e a infraestrutura do Swell L2 e pagamento de taxas de gás na rede.

Voltando ao Launchpool, ele oferece dois diferentes pools de bloqueio. O pool primário, com uma alocação total de 16.000.000 SWELL, está aberto a usuários que bloqueiam o BGB, o token nativo da Bitget. Os airdrops serão distribuídos de hora em hora com base no volume bloqueado de cada participante, garantindo que os usuários recebam recompensas proporcionais ao seu comprometimento com o pool. O pool secundário, elaborado especificamente para novos usuários que se associarem após 5 de novembro de 2024, oferece uma participação de 3.500.000 SWELL para quem bloquear seus USDTs. Com um limite máximo de bloqueio de 2.000 USDT e uma exigência mínima de 5 USDT, esse pool oferece um ponto de entrada acessível para os recém–chegados à plataforma.

O Launchpool da Bitget utiliza um eficiente sistema de airdrop, distribuindo tokens de hora em hora para os usuários participantes. Essa abordagem permite que os participantes vejam rapidamente os retornos de seus ativos bloqueados, enquanto os mercados Poolx e Spot estão mais voltados aos traders profissionais, ajudando–os a ganhar recompensas pelos tokens existentes.

Cette cotation permet aux utilisateurs éligibles de gagner des récompenses à partir d’un pool comprenant un total de 23 440 000 jetons SWELL. La première initiative est une campagne sur Launchpool qui permet aux utilisateurs de verrouiller des BGB et des USDT pour les répartir dans un pool de 19 500 000 jetons SWELL. Cet événement exclusif sera accessible aux utilisateurs à compter du 7 novembre 2024 à 10h00 UTC jusqu’au 14 novembre 2024 à 10h00 UTC et leur permettra de participer à l’écosystème croissant de rejalonnement d’Ethereum grâce aux protocoles de jalonnement avancés de Swell.

De plus, une promotion Candybomb est organisée dans le cadre de laquelle 2 000 000 de jetons SWELL seront distribués aux utilisateurs en fonction de leurs activités de trading.

Conçu comme une couche de rendement de rejalonnement pour Ethereum, Swell présente une gamme d’options de jalonnement et de re–jalonnement liquide adaptées à la finance décentralisée (DeFi).

Avec le soutien d’IOSG Ventures et de Maven 11 Capital, le réseau Swell a levé 3,75 millions de dollars en mars 2022 lors d’un tour de financement dirigé par Framework Ventures.

Le 9 octobre 2024, Swell a dévoilé la tokenomie de son jeton natif, SWELL. L’offre totale de SWELL s’élèvera à 10 milliards de jetons, avec 8,5 % alloués à la communauté. Le jeton SWELL servira trois objectifs principaux : la gouvernance de la DAO du réseau Swell, le rejalonnement pour sécuriser les applications et l’infrastructure Swell L2, ainsi que le paiement des frais de gaz sur le réseau.

Pour revenir au Launchpool, il propose deux pools de verrouillage distincts. Avec une allocation totale de 16 000 000 de SWELL, le pool principal est destiné aux utilisateurs qui verrouillent leurs BGB, le jeton natif de Bitget. En fonction du volume verrouillé de chaque participant, des airdrops seront distribués toutes les heures, permettant aux utilisateurs de recevoir des récompenses proportionnelles à leur engagement au sein du pool. Le pool secondaire, destiné aux nouveaux utilisateurs inscrits après le 5 novembre 2024, offre une part de 3 500 000 SWELL aux utilisateurs qui verrouillent leurs USDT. Avec une limite de verrouillage maximale de 2 000 USDT et une exigence minimale de 5 USDT, ce pool constitue une porte d’entrée accessible pour les nouveaux utilisateurs.

Le Launchpool de Bitget utilise un système efficace d’airdrop qui distribue des jetons toutes les heures aux utilisateurs participants. Cette approche permet aux participants de bénéficier rapidement des rendements de leurs actifs verrouillés, tandis que les marchés Spot et Poolx sont davantage destinés aux traders professionnels en les aidant à gagner des récompenses pour les jetons existants.

Bitget listet Swell (SWELL) auf Launchpool, Poolx und Spot mit 23.440.000 Token als Prämien

VICTORIA, Seychellen, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, die führende Kryptowährungsbörse und Web3–Firma, hat die Notierung von SWELL–Token auf ihrer Plattform angekündigt, die eine Reihe von Produkten wie Launchpool, Poolx und Spot–Handel umfasst. Dadurch können berechtigte Nutzer Prämien aus einem Pool von insgesamt 23.440.000 SWELL–Tokens gewinnen. Die erste Initiative ist eine Launchpool–Kampagne, die es Nutzern ermöglicht, BGB und USDT zu sperren, um an einem Pool von 19.500.000 SWELL–Token teilzuhaben. Dieses exklusive Angebot wird vom 7. November 2024, 10:00 Uhr UTC, bis zum 14. November 2024, 10:00 Uhr UTC, verfügbar sein und ermöglicht es den Nutzern, durch die fortschrittlichen Staking–Protokolle von Swell am wachsenden Ethereum–Restaking–Ökosystem teilzunehmen.

Im Rahmen des Poolx–Angebots für SWELL werden 1.800.000 Token zugeteilt, bei denen die Nutzer ihre Token einsetzen können, um mehr zu minen. Zusätzlich wird eine Candybomb–Aktion organisiert, bei der 2.000.000 SWELL–Token an die Nutzer verteilt werden, abhängig von ihren Handelsaktivitäten.

Swell wurde als Restaking–Schicht für Ethereum entwickelt und bietet eine Reihe von liquiden Staking– und Restaking–Optionen, die auf das dezentrale Finanzwesen (DeFi) zugeschnitten sind. Als erster Anbieter eines vertikal integrierten Layer–2–Restaked–Rollups zielt Swell darauf ab, die Renditen der Nutzer und die Effizienz der Einsätze im Ethereum–Netzwerk zu verbessern. Im März 2022 sammelte Swell Network 3,75 Mio. USD in einer Seed–Runde unter der Leitung von Framework Ventures und mit Unterstützung von IOSG Ventures und Maven 11 Capital.

Swell stellt am 9. Oktober 2024 die Tokenomics seines nativen Tokens, SWELL, vor. Das Gesamtangebot von SWELL wird sich auf 10 Mrd. Token belaufen, von denen 8,5 % an die Community gehen. Der SWELL–Token wird drei Hauptzwecken dienen: Governance für die Swell–DAO, Wiederherstellung der Sicherheit von Swell–L2–Anwendungen und –Infrastruktur sowie Bezahlung der Gasgebühren im Netzwerk.

Zurück zu Launchpool: Es bietet zwei verschiedene Sperrungspools. Der primäre Pool mit einer Gesamtzuteilung von 16.000.000 SWELL steht den Nutzern offen, die BGB, Bitgets natives Token, sperren. Airdrops werden stündlich auf der Grundlage des gesperrten Volumens jedes Teilnehmers verteilt, um sicherzustellen, dass die Nutzer Belohnungen im Verhältnis zu ihrem Engagement innerhalb des Pools erhalten. Der sekundäre Pool, speziell für neue Nutzer, die nach dem 5. November 2024 beitreten, bietet einen Anteil von 3.500.000 SWELL für diejenigen, die ihre USDTs sperren. Mit einem maximalen Locking–Limit von 2.000 USDT und einer Mindestanforderung von 5 USDT bietet dieser Pool einen einfachen Einstieg für Neulinge auf der Plattform.

Der Launchpool von Bitget nutzt ein effizientes Airdrop–System, das stündlich Token an die teilnehmenden Nutzer verteilt. Dieser Ansatz ermöglicht es den Teilnehmern, schnell Renditen aus ihren gesperrten Vermögenswerten zu erzielen, während die Poolx– und Spot–Märkte eher für Profi–Händler gedacht sind und ihnen helfen, Belohnungen für bestehende Token zu verdienen.

UNEP: Nations Must Step Up Adaptation—Starting with Bold Finance Action at COP 29

By Umar Manzoor Shah
NAIROBI, Nov 7 2024 – The United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) 2024 Adaptation Gap Report has warned that adaptation actions are not keeping pace with the surging demands of a warming planet. Released ahead of the COP29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, the report—titled Come Hell and High Water—projected a bleak future where vulnerable communities bear the brunt of climate-induced hardships. 

It stresses that robust, well-funded adaptation strategies are vital to safeguarding those most at risk and calls for immediate, substantial global action in adaptation planning, finance, and implementation. With the surging demands of a warming planet. Released ahead of the COP 29 climate conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, the report—titled Come Hell and High Water—projects a bleak future where vulnerable communities bear the brunt of climate-induced hardships. 

It stresses that robust, well-funded adaptation strategies are vital to safeguarding those most at risk and calls for immediate, substantial global action in adaptation planning, finance, and implementation.

Wildfires, floods, and rising temperatures continue to inflict devastating impacts on people worldwide, especially the poor. UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen has underlined the urgency of scaling up adaptation efforts: “The world is failing to adapt to current climate impacts, let alone those that will come if we do not cut greenhouse gas emissions decisively.

“It is time to treat adaptation as one of humanity’s top priorities, alongside emissions reduction. Those already facing the consequences deserve effective, fair adaptation actions that address their unique needs.”

Furthermore, the report stresses that the scale of climate impacts is moving faster than the world’s response.

“Adaptation is no longer a distant option; it is now a priority,” says UNEP’s Chief Scientific Editor Henry Neufeldt, summarizing the report’s call for urgent action. The report arrives at a time when nations are expected to boost their financial commitments for adaptation as part of the Glasgow Climate Pact.

This Pact urges developed countries to double adaptation finance to developing nations by 2025, a goal that aligns with the need for a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance, slated for negotiation at COP29.

Also, UNEP notes that adaptation finance reached only USD 28 billion in 2022, up from USD 22 billion the previous year. While this is a notable increase, it remains far below what is needed to address the vast scale of climate change impacts. According to UNEP, estimated global adaptation needs range between USD 215 billion and USD 387 billion per year through 2030, leaving a significant financing shortfall. Even doubling current financing flows would close only a small fraction of the adaptation finance gap.

“We can’t rely on one source alone. The financial burden is too great,” says Neufeldt. “We must pursue creative financing models and mobilize both public and private sectors to ensure resources reach those who need them most.”

According to the report, 87 percent of the world’s countries have at least one adaptation plan in place, though the quality and coverage vary significantly.

Out of the 197 UN member countries, 171 have established at least one national adaptation instrument, yet 10 nations—most grappling with internal conflict or political instability—are yet to initiate formal adaptation planning. Furthermore, many adaptation plans lack specific timeframes and budgets, undermining their effectiveness.

Anne Hammill from the International Institute for Sustainable Development, who co-authored a chapter on adaptation planning, writes in the report, “There’s a noticeable increase in awareness and preparation for adaptation planning globally. However, for some nations, fragility and limited capacity present obstacles to formulating and executing these plans.”

Moreover, UNEP finds that only 68 percent of countries with national adaptation plans align these strategies with their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the climate pledges under the Paris Agreement. This disconnect, as per the report, has resulted in overlapping efforts and inefficient resource use.

“When countries update their NDCs, they must ensure these are harmonized with adaptation plans,” Hammill notes. “This alignment is essential to avoid duplicated efforts and to streamline investments where they matter most.”

The uneven quality of adaptation plans means that even those countries with established strategies may struggle with execution. In many cases, adaptation projects—particularly those with international funding—don’t have long-lasting effects. For example, almost half of the projects evaluated were rated either unsatisfactory or unsustainable without continued external funding.

“Adaptation actions need long-term funding and local support to be effective. Temporary measures, while beneficial in the short run, often fail to address underlying vulnerabilities in the long term,” reads the report.

Slow Implementation Leaves Vulnerable Communities Exposed
The report reveals that implementation of adaptation measures lags significantly behind planning efforts, leaving at-risk communities dangerously exposed to climate impacts. An analysis of data shows that adaptation implementation has not kept pace with the accelerating rate of climate change. Floods, wildfires, and extreme weather events increasingly affect millions, yet financial and institutional barriers stymie progress in implementing effective adaptation measures.

The report elaborates, “The data on adaptation implementation is concerning. Many countries start strong with initial adaptation projects, but sustaining them has proven challenging. This gap between planning and action often leads to severe consequences for vulnerable communities.”

In addition to the need for more robust financing mechanisms, UNEP underlines the importance of inclusive adaptation measures that integrate the voices of marginalized communities. Many of the most impacted groups, including women, indigenous peoples, and economically disadvantaged populations, are frequently excluded from the planning process.

“Adaptation must be inclusive and equitable,” Hammill says. “Vulnerable groups often face the worst climate impacts, yet their voices remain underrepresented in the adaptation process.”

The Adaptation Finance Gap: A Call for New Approaches
A central focus of the report is the persistent adaptation finance gap. Although public adaptation finance flows to developing countries saw a record year-on-year increase, UNEP stresses that even substantial gains fall far short of what is required. “Current financing levels are simply inadequate. Doubling the finance might reduce the gap by about 5%, but we need much more ambitious targets to meet the needs.”

To bridge the finance gap, the report advocates a shift from reactive, project-based funding to a more proactive, transformative approach. This requires financing for anticipatory and systemic adaptation actions, such as building climate-resilient infrastructure and enhancing social protection. According to UNEP, innovative financing instruments, such as resilience bonds, risk insurance, and payments for ecosystem services, could mobilize new sources of adaptation funding.

The report points out that the private sector has a key role to play. “While public funds are essential, we need private investments to scale up adaptation,” it explains, adding that in sectors such as agriculture, water, and infrastructure, private finance can be instrumental if de-risking measures are implemented. However, private finance is often inaccessible to the most vulnerable; there is a need for public-private partnerships and targeted government support.

Capacity-Building and Technology Transfer for Effective Adaptation
Beyond finance, UNEP’s report also calls for stronger investments in capacity-building and technology transfer. These efforts are vital to empowering developing nations to manage climate impacts effectively. According to the report, developing countries require additional support for building local adaptation capacity in sectors like agriculture, water management, and public health.

The report also highlights the importance of a multifaceted approach. “Capacity-building must go beyond technical solutions. It requires investing in human resources, policy frameworks, and long-term community engagement. While we see capacity needs highlighted in many national plans, a strategic, coordinated approach is still missing.”

The report indicates that sectors such as food and agriculture receive the most technology-related development finance, yet other crucial areas like coastal protection and disaster preparedness need more support. For example, developing countries face obstacles in adopting technologies like solar-powered irrigation due to high installation and maintenance costs, making widespread use challenging. It suggests that bridging this technology gap will require both public investment and private sector involvement.

Path Forward at COP 29 and Beyond
As COP 29 approaches, the 2024 Adaptation Gap Report has pinned the need for decisive action in Baku to secure global adaptation commitments. At the heart of these discussions is the establishment of a New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) on climate finance, a successor to the USD 100 billion annual goal set in 2010. This new target, UNEP argues, must prioritize adaptation and recognize the unique challenges faced by developing nations.

Andersen, who will lead UNEP’s delegation to COP 29, expresses hope that the international community will rally around adaptation as a central theme.

In addition to setting an ambitious finance goal, COP 29 will discuss mechanisms for better tracking adaptation actions, establishing loss and damage funding, and addressing the debt burdens that restrict developing nations from prioritizing adaptation investments. UNEP advocates for debt relief and restructuring as a way to free up funds for climate adaptation, particularly in nations where high debt costs eclipse adaptation funding.

ATNi Launches 5th Global Access to Nutrition Index as Industry and Policy Makers Grapple with Food Polycrisis

UTRECHT, The Netherlands, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, ATNi launches the 5th edition of the Global Access to Nutrition Index, the largest yet, assessing the world’s 30 largest food and beverage manufacturers and over 52,000 products, representing 23% global market share.

One in five deaths globally is associated with a poor diet. One out of eight adults are affected by obesity, 150 million children are too short for their age because of poor nutrition, and close to a third of women of reproductive age, and half of children, consume inadequate micronutrients.

The Index reveals some important progress. More companies are setting targets to improve their portfolio healthiness, now using internationally recognized Nutrient Profiling Models (NPMs) to classify products as ‘healthier’.

However, overall, there have been only marginal improvements in key metrics such as healthiness of product portfolios. Concurrently, the estimated sales values of company’s healthier products have increased, showing consumers are increasingly purchasing healthier products. Worryingly, product portfolio healthiness was found to be lowest in low–income countries, highlighting disparities in product offerings across different markets and income groups.

Global Index 2024 – key findings

Product Healthiness

Among the 52,414 products analyzed from 30 companies using the Health Star Rating (HSR) system, 31%—a total of 16,467 products—met the healthier threshold (3.5 stars and above out of 5), representing an estimated 34% of the companies' combined sales in 2022. ATNi challenges companies to derive at least half their sales from healthy products by 2030. Today only 30% of companies are meeting this target.

Differences by market and income

Overall food product healthiness in low– and lower middle–income countries scored much lower (mean HSR 1.8) than in high–income countries (mean HSR 2.3). At the aggregate level, the share of ‘less healthy’ products which the 30 assessed companies are marketing is higher in low– and middle–income countries than in high–income countries. 

Reporting and disclosures

30% of companies assessed, now use an internationally recognized Nutrient Profiling Model to report on portfolio healthiness, with 20% doing so to report on overall percentages of global sales. While the quality, coverage, and transparency of this reporting varies significantly, this shift reflects the growing appetite for reporting against (inter–)national standards.

Marketing

No company has a policy to fully prohibit marketing unhealthy foods to children under 18 across all marketing channels and techniques, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). Four companies have taken positive steps, raising their age thresholds to 16 years while only two are marketing ‘healthier’ products defined by a government–endorsed model.   

ATNi calls on

Companies: voluntarily stop marketing to under 18s, improve product portfolio healthiness and fully disclose sales from healthy and unhealthy products using an internationally recognised Nutrient Profiling Model.

Governments: regulate and build an enabling environment that helps companies protect public health. Well–designed fiscal policies to make healthier foods more affordable and less healthy foods more expensive are also needed. 

Responsible investors: help hold the companies to account by investing in those acting responsibly, considering the financial costs of long–term ill health caused by current food environment and products.

“'Health is wealth.' We know this is true, but most food companies have not yet placed nutrition as core to their business. There is progress, but our findings show overall subpar performance and weaknesses in the market.”

Greg S. Garrett, Executive Director, ATNi

“Only 31% of the 52,000+ food products assessed by ATNi meet the health criteria. This is not good enough. Companies need to start doing better demonstrating that they care about the public health of their consumer base.”

Jessica Fanzo, Professor of Climate and Director of the Food for Humanity Initiative, Columbia University

ATNi lança 5º Índice Global de Acesso à Nutrição enquanto a indústria e os formuladores de políticas lutam contra a policrise alimentar

UTRECHT, Países Baixos, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hoje, a ATNi lança a 5a edição do Índice Global de Acesso à Nutrição, o maior até o momento, avaliando os 30 maiores fabricantes de alimentos e bebidas do mundo e mais de 52.000 produtos, representando 23% de participação do mercado global.

Uma em cada cinco mortes em todo o mundo está associada a uma dieta pobre. Um em cada oito adultos é afetado pela obesidade, 150 milhões de crianças são muito baixas para sua idade devido à má nutrição e cerca de um terço das mulheres em idade reprodutiva e metade das crianças consomem micronutrientes inadequados.

O Índice revela alguns avanços importantes. Mais empresas estão estabelecendo metas para melhorar a saúde de seus portfólios, agora usando Modelos de Perfil de Nutrientes (MPNs) reconhecidos internacionalmente para classificar os produtos como “mais saudáveis”.

No entanto, de modo geral, houve apenas melhorias marginais em métricas chave, como a saúde dos portfólios de produtos. Ao mesmo tempo, o valor estimado das vendas de produtos mais saudáveis das empresas aumentou, mostrando que os consumidores estão comprando cada vez mais produtos saudáveis. Preocupantemente, a saúde dos portfólios de produtos foi encontrada em níveis mais baixos em países de baixa renda, destacando disparidades na oferta de produtos entre diferentes mercados e grupos de renda.

Índice Global 2024 – principais descobertas

Saúde dos Produtos

Entre os 52.414 produtos analisados de 30 empresas usando o sistema Health Star Rating (HSR), 31% — um total de 16.467 produtos — atingiram o limiar de saúde (3,5 estrelas ou mais de 5), representando um valor estimado de 34% das vendas combinadas das empresas em 2022. A ATNi desafia as empresas a obter pelo menos metade de suas vendas de produtos saudáveis até 2030. Atualmente, apenas 30% das empresas estão atingindo essa meta.

Diferenças por mercado e renda

A saúde geral dos produtos alimentícios em países de baixa e média–baixa renda teve uma pontuação muito menor (HSR médio 1,8) do que em países de alta renda (HSR médio 2,3). No nível agregado, a parcela de produtos “menos saudáveis” que as 30 empresas avaliadas estão comercializando é maior em países de baixa e média renda do que em países de alta renda.

Relatórios e divulgações

30% das empresas avaliadas agora utilizam um Modelo de Perfil Nutricional reconhecido internacionalmente para relatar a saúde de seus portfólios, com 20% fazendo isso para relatar as porcentagens globais de vendas. Embora a qualidade, abrangência e transparência desses relatórios variem significativamente, essa mudança reflete o crescente interesse por relatórios que sigam padrões (inter)nacionais.

Marketing

Nenhuma empresa possui uma política para proibir totalmente o marketing de alimentos não saudáveis para menores de 18 anos em todos os canais e técnicas de marketing, conforme recomendado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). Quatro empresas tomaram medidas positivas, elevando seus limites de idade para 16 anos, enquanto apenas duas estão comercializando produtos “mais saudáveis” definidos por um modelo aprovado pelo governo.

A ATNi faz um apelo a

Empresas: que interrompam voluntariamente o marketing para menores de 18 anos, melhorem a saúde de seus portfólios de produtos e divulguem integralmente as vendas de produtos saudáveis e não saudáveis, usando um Modelo de Perfil Nutricional reconhecido internacionalmente.

Governos: regulem e construam um ambiente favorável que ajude as empresas a proteger a saúde pública. Também são necessárias políticas fiscais bem elaboradas para tornar os alimentos mais saudáveis mais acessíveis e os menos saudáveis mais caros.

Investidores responsáveis: ajudem a responsabilizar as empresas investindo naquelas que agem de forma responsável, considerando os custos financeiros da má saúde de longo prazo causada pelo ambiente alimentar e pelos produtos atuais.

“'Saúde é riqueza.' Sabemos que isso é verdade, mas a maioria das empresas de alimentos ainda não colocou a nutrição no centro dos negócios. Há progresso, mas nossas descobertas mostram um desempenho geral abaixo do esperado e fraquezas no mercado.”

Greg S. Garrett, diretor executivo, ATNi

“Apenas 31% dos mais de 52.000 produtos alimentícios avaliados pela ATNi atendem aos critérios de saúde. Isso não é suficiente. As empresas precisam começar a demonstrar melhor que se importam com a saúde pública de sua base de consumidores.”
