The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission

Building Business Resilience in a Changing Food System

In today’s food sector, resilience means more than surviving shocks, it means adapting to thrive amid climate pressures, shifting consumer demand and evolving regulation. 

 

The updated 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission provides a science-based guiding star for the private sector, helping businesses strengthen resilience, secure stability, and stay competitive in a changing market. 

Why the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission matters

WBCSD is the leading community of global businesses making sustainability a competitive advantage for business. For food companies, this means anticipating risks, strengthening operations and supply chains, and helping to shape food systems that are robust, adaptable, and sustainablefor people, planet and long-term business success. 

Our connection to EAT began in 2019 with the launch of the 2019 EAT– Lancet Commission, marking the start of our Healthy & Sustainable Diets workstream. We provide guidance for food companies, such as our Ag & Food Roadmap, which includes a healthy & sustainable diets chapter, and convene collective initiatives to build resilience across the food value chain, such as our alignment on Regenerative Agriculture Metrics global framwork or the playbook for plant-rich diets.  

With the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission, we continue to provide a platform for forwardthinking companies for aligning on key metrics, supporting businesses with implementation guidance, and collaborate on efforts for a more enabling environment towards a healthy, sustainable and equitable food system.
