EU Code of Conduct on
Responsible Food Business
and Marketing Practices

FEFANA wishes to promote the Code among its network and work with its members to contribute to make it a success. FEFANA signed the code on 4 January 2022. A growing number of FEFANA members are also signing it. By signing up to the Code the industry is committing to drive actions that will contribute to healthier living, a greener planet and a thriving European economy.

The EU Code of Conduct on Responsible Food Business and Marketing Practices entered into force on 5 July 2021. The Code contains a set of 7 aspirational objectives as voluntary commitments for action together with a monitoring and evaluation framework to measure progress. The Commission will consider legislative measures if progress is insufficient.

Commitments may take the form of a declaration of engagement and actions in major areas, together with an agreement to move towards higher levels of ambition within a defined timeframe. For the more advanced who wish to make greater commitments, the Code also includes a framework for more ambitious, measurable actions.
