Food industry whistleblowers alert investors on climate risks
"A number of structural and cultural issues are preventing the severity of this challenge being fully accepted by industry."
A group of food industry professionals in the UK have written an anonymous memo to alert investors of the commercial risks the sector faces as a result of climate change and urge them to demand greater action from CEOs and boards.
Stating that they work within “some of the UK’s biggest food producers, manufacturers and retailers” and acknowledging that the note puts them at “personal risk”, the group warns that the world has reached a moment of threat to food security “like none other we have seen”.
