Their role is supported by the EU and WHO • "Businesses can also support the development of healthy lifestyles in the workplace. Together with employee organisations, they should also develop proposals/guidelines for ways in which companies of different sizes can introduce simple, cost-effective measures to promote healthy lifestyles of employees.“ 3. Companies are mostly settled in urban areas 4. Responsibility and interest of the employers towards the workers • Corporate Social Responsibility = wellbeing • Economic interest = productivity “The WHO, FAO and a multitude of national health institutes continue to urge the public to eat more fruits and vegetables, more fibre, fewer saturated and trans fats, fewer sweets and fewer high-cholesterol foods.
