☆ Is modern food making us sick?

"Most of the ultra-processed food that you find are higher in salt, fat and sugar. The $128 billion British food and beverage industry is the largest manufacturing sector in the country, employing more than 400,000 people. "We are calling for food sector companies to report a set of health and sustainability metrics that would be on a mandatory basis," said Sophie Lawrence, who leads a group of investors called the Investor Coalition for Food Policy, managing assets worth $7 trillion. "If you're a leading business, and you know, you want to invest in healthier food, you're essentially taking a big commercial risk because it's not a level playing field", said Rebecca Tobi, senior business and investment manager at the Food Foundation. So, could ultra-processed food be taken off the menu?

☆ Exclusive: Insurers look to ease UN climate alliance rules after member exodus - sources
  + stars: | 2023-07-04 | by ( Tommy Wilkes | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
The U.N.-convened Net-Zero Insurance Alliance (NZIA) is set to remove a six-month deadline for members to publish greenhouse gas emissions targets alongside other changes to make membership less prescriptive, the sources said. The hope is to "steady the ship" and create space for ex-members to consider returning later, they said. The changes under discussion have not been finalised, the sources said, and it's not clear how the alliance would deal with insurers that drag their feet in publishing targets. Remaining members believe the NZIA still has a valuable role, and point to methodologies it developed for assessing and reporting on underwriting-linked emissions. France's AXA, which chaired the NZIA before quitting in May, last week published its first emissions goals for its insurance portfolio.

☆ US House Judiciary leader subpoenas documents from climate groups
  + stars: | 2023-06-14 | by ( Ross Kerber | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
June 14 (Reuters) - A U.S. congressional leader on Wednesday issued a subpoena seeking information from climate activists over antitrust issues, joining other Republicans who have criticized companies' growing concern for environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters. Ceres is a sponsor of the latter, an investor coalition aiming to convince companies to address climate change by cutting emissions or disclosing transition details. The letter included a subpoena and states Ceres did not adequately respond to a previous information request. He said membership in the coalition did not pose antitrust issues since investors chose whether to join and use the group to engage with stock issuers. It's like you and your friend deciding you want to get a burger so you go to a burger place," he said.

☆ Investors in biggest climate pressure group don't like to pressure

Climate Action 100+ (CA100+), set up in 2017, comprises more than 700 investment firms representing $68 trillion in assets. At stake is whether CA100+ members use all the tools at their disposal to pressure climate laggards. FLAGGING CLIMATE LAGGARDSCA100+ posts on its website upcoming shareholder resolutions and board re-election votes but it doesn't recommend voting against directors at climate laggards. Wespath's sustainability director, Jake Barnett, said that challenging board directors over their climate policies was not being used widely enough "as a method of accountability". In at least one area there is compulsion; CA100+ members not responding to a survey asking for their engagement interests within a year could be delisted.

☆ The steps that could help address biodiversity loss could also help fix the climate crisis
  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( Catherine Boudreau | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Biodiversity loss doesn't always get as much attention as the climate but the crises are linked. The animal, named Sudan, was the last male northern white rhino. The loss of biodiversity doesn't always get as much attention as the climate crisis but the two challenges are linked. "Anybody who's working with these issues — biodiversity, climate change, and the underlying drivers of it — realize the interconnectedness of it," Chomba said. Nachmany said some parts of the financial world are recognizing that biodiversity loss and the climate crisis are two parts of the same problem.
