A program can be counted as such only if these criteria are met. The impact does not have to be measured every year. The people considered to be potentially affected are (i) consumers for the EDP and Waters Reporting Entities, and (ii) parents, patients and caregivers for the Specialized Nutrition Reporting Entity. The subsidiaries counted the people affected by the program in 2020. If a subsidiary can prove that people are not double-counted, it can aggregate the number of people affected since the start of a program. People who are affected by several programs can be counted several times. A person is considered to be potentially impacted if he or she has received the program’s messages. Subsidiaries are thus far not required to prove that these people have actually been affected, i.e. that they have changed their eating and drinking consumption habits.
