By GlobalDataDuring the second quarter, of all themes, ESG led the way but, digging into the area further, the environment came out top, with climate change second, ‘social’ third and ‘governance’ fourth.
Looking at the soft-drinks companies that most cited the environment in the quarter, Keurig Dr Pepper led the way, with RTD coffee maker Sigma Alimentos second.
Among the major pieces of ESG-related regulation passed in the second quarter was a new EU law on deforestation. Companies will only be allowed to sell products in the EU if the supplier of the underlying ingredients has issued a due diligence statement confirming their commodities do not come from deforested land or have led to forest degradation since 31 December 2020.
Last week, NGO The Carbon Disclosure Project warned the biggest players in the food and agriculture sectors could lose $150bn in value if they fail to implement no-deforestation/conversion policies.
