UNESDA made a series of commitments to the EU Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health in January 2006.  These include not advertising to children under 12, not offering products for sale in primary schools and offering a wide variety of drinks in secondary schools.

The association was one of just four organisations to be named and praised for its actions by the European Commissioner.

Full details of the UNESDA Commitments and their monitoring by independent auditors are available in the documents below.
