Heinz’s Continuing
Commitment and Leadership
The Heinz Micronutrient Campaign is poised to make significant inroads in the global fight against micronutrient malnutrition. By helping thousands of children like Mei Li, Mayang, and Ashok, Heinz is building a solid Foundation for Healthy Life in the most at-risk regions of the world.

In recognition of Heinz’s exchange of technical knowledge and humanitarian assistance, the Company received two prestigious awards in 2006: the Global Visionary Award from Helen Keller International, and the Marco Polo Award from the People’s Republic of China.

To date, the H. J. Heinz Company Foundation and Heinz have spent nearly $3 million on Micronutrient Campaign grants and projects, and have renewed their commitment with an additional pledge of $5 million over the next five years.
