We call on manufacturers and distributors of commercial milk formula to #EndExploitativeMarketing of formula milk products. 

We call on National Governments to enact, monitor, and enforce laws to prevent the unethical marketing of formula milk products, and to invest substantially in supporting mothers and families and their infant feeding practices. 

We call on Health Professionals to counter the targeting of the formula milk industry. We call on health professional organizations to adopt, publicize and implement strong conflict-of-interest policies that stop formula milk companies influencing critical health guidance and support.  

We call on Investors and those with economic leverage to insist that formula milk companies fully align their marketing practices with the International Code of Marketing of Breast-Milk Substitutes.
