Our Approach to Partnerships

At EAT, we believe in building longer tables, not higher walls. We are open to working with any organization or individual that demonstrates a genuine commitment to transforming global food systems for the better. This inclusive approach means that, at times, our partnerships may be perceived as unconventional.

Two principles guide all our external collaborations:

1. Partnership does not equal endorsement. Our collaboration with a partner is limited strictly to the scope of the specific project or initiative outlined in our formal agreement. It does not imply endorsement of all the partner’s practices, positions or broader operations.
2. Independence of our academic work. All EAT knowledge products, including the EAT-Lancet Commission and related research, are developed independently. Funding or support from partners not listed on the Commission page, is never used to influence the content, direction, or conclusions of our knowledge work.

EAT operates under a clear and robust conflict of interest and due diligence policy. For more information or to request details of our policy, please contact [email protected].
