Abstract	LLANOS, M.F.E. Health promotion: activities of the food industry in Brazil. 2014. Defesa de Doutorado em Nutrição Humana Aplicada. Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2013. The World Health Organization (WHO) established measures directed at the food industry, emphasizing the role of the private sector in the achievement of health goals and confrontation of chronic non-communicable diseases (CNCDs). Thus, the aim of this study was to describe and evaluate the activities of the leading food manufacturers in promoting health in Brazil, and to compare local with global initiatives. The research had a qualitative approach and exploratory and descriptive characteristics. Documental research was made through local statements and corporate social responsibility reports from 2012 obtained on the websites of the companies on the Internet. The main players were selected by market share analysis considering 2012 sales retail value. A structured script of questions was used to collect data. Also, with the aim of verifying the frequency distributions of responses, an analysis of nominal scale was applied using the non-parametric statistical method of cross-tabulation. This research was able to demonstrate the commitment of the leading food manufactures in Brazil to corporate social responsibility, including engagement in promoting health and improving the quality of life of employees and the whole society, as recommended by WHO. It was also possible to notice that companies give more emphasis on activities directed to children, especially through nutrition education programs, development of products with healthier nutritional profile and the adoption of voluntary codes of conduct.
