ABOUT THIS INDICATOR
Desired Outcome:
Reduced consumption of high energy food and drink in workplaces.
Relevant Route Map action:
Two actions to encourage participation in HealthyLiving award scheme.
Geography available:
National
Equalities data: Not applicable
Rationale for including this indicator
The aim of this indicator is to assess the take-up of HealthyLiving awards by companies. The HealthyLiving Award, introduced in 2006, recognises catering establishments for serving healthier food and finding ways of helping their customers make better food choices. The award is open to all kinds of catering places from sandwich shops to staff restaurants, and increasing the number of establishments with this award will play a part in improving diet across Scotland. For all organisations already participating, the HealthyLiving Award plus offers an opportunity to achieve step increases in the required ratio of healthy options to other options on the menus from participating caterers.
Evidence from existing literature[8] suggests a low level of evidence for the effectiveness of consumer targeted incentives but with potentially high levels of population effectiveness. The <acronym>ScotPHN</acronym> engagement process for the Route Map[9] assessed the action as having high impact with medium to high effort.
Factors influencing this indicator:
- Exposure to high energy foods.
