Ethical practices in the marketing of infant products
As a responsible organisation, Dutch Lady Milk Industries Berhad works with various stakeholers to uphold the credibility of the infant and young child nutrition industry in the country. We support all initiatives that promote and educate the public about the unsurpassed benefits of breastfeeding.
We believe breastfeeding is the best and most natural way to ensure normal health and development of infants during at least the first six months of life under the recommendation of the World Health Organisation (WHO). Breast milk is recognised as the gold standard for infant nutrition and its short- and long-term health benefits are well documented.
In Malaysia, the National Breastfeeding Policy is in line with the WHO and UNICEF recommendation. The Code of Ethics for the Marketing of Infant Foods and Related Products (Malaysia Code), governed by the Malaysia Ministry of Health, outlines ethical procedures on marketing practices pertaining to infant product.
Most importantly, we are committed to the compliance of Malaysia’s Code of Ethics for the Marketing of Infant Foods and Related Products. As part of our support of that, we have put in place a corporate policy and guidelines for the marketing of infant foods called “Do’s & Don’ts” that adhere to WHO and National code provisions, complete with a proper monitoring system and appropriate counter measures are taken to ensure compliance.
