En investorgruppe på 185 storinvestorer, herunder Amundi, Aviva Investors, AXA IM, LGIM, Mirova og Rockefeller Asset Management, opfordrer i en ny pressemeddelelse virksomheder til at reducere plastikemballage.
Investorerne forvalter tilsammen 68.000 milliarder kroner, og betoner nødvendigheden af at reducere plastikforbrug blandt andet på grund af omdømmemæssige risici. Virksomhederne, som opfordringen fra investorerne sigter mod, er blandt andet Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Colgate-Palmolive, P&G, Nestlé, Unilever, Kellogg og L’Oreal.
I pressemeddelelsen står der blandt andet: ”Plastics imposes an estimated externality cost on society of $US 350 billion per year arising from greenhouse gas emissions, ocean pollution and collection costs – at least US$ 1000 per tonne of plastic produced. As action from policymakers steps up to address the plastics crisis and society demands accountability from corporate actors perpetuating the problem, companies on the value chain are exposed to significant and mounting plastic-related risks.”
