WHO WE ARE

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a more accountable and trustworthy marketplace. As the foremost thought leader on industry self-regulation, we are shaping the way that businesses and consumers interact with one another. As the home of U.S. independent industry self-regulation, we are currently operating more than twenty globally recognized programs that have been helping enhance consumer trust in business for more than 50 years. Our programs provide third-party accountability and dispute resolution services that address existing and emerging industry issues, create a fairer playing field for businesses, and a better experience for consumers.

The Children’s Food & Beverage Advertising Initiative (CFBAI) is an advertising self-regulation program through which leading U.S. food, beverage, and quick serve restaurant companies work to improve the landscape of food advertising to children. Companies participating in CFBAI voluntarily commit to either not advertise any foods to children or to advertise only foods that meet CFBAI’s nutrition criteria, among other commitments. BBB National Programs monitors and publicly reports on participants’ compliance with their CFBAI commitments, keeps participants informed of issues relevant to child-directed food advertising, and works with participants on program modifications that support responsible child-directed advertising practices.
