PepsiCo’s operating profits at high risk due to climate change and transition
Press Release Emissions Shareholder Engagement EquityPepsiCo could be exposed to USD 4.4 billion of climate related risk per year, by the end of the decade , on its current emissions trajectory. The food and beverage giant fails to disclose the material financial impact associated with potential Carbon Pricing Mechanisms (CPMs) linked to its Scope 3 emissions, despite these accounting for more than 90% of the company’s overall emissions by 2030.
Defining biodiversity loss as a future risk is just ‘biocrastination’, says Planet Tracker
Press Release Thought Leadership Fixed IncomeA number of the short-term risks identified in the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2023 include climate change threats such as a failure to mitigate climate change (ranked 4th) and a failure of climate change adaptation (ranked 7th). The omission of biodiversity loss from this list implies a lack of understanding of the interdependence of climate and nature and an absence of urgency – or Biocrastination..
BIOcrastination
Report Thought Leadership Fixed Income PT0061Although biodiversity loss has begun to capture international attention, there is an apparent absence of urgency.

EU Regulation to cause log jam in commodity flows:
Blog Deforestation, Thought Leadership Fixed Income BLOG0076Financial Institutions are potentially in scope at first review
Deforestation regulation in the EU is likely to be adopted in the next 12 months requiring EU importers to confirm that cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya, wood and derived products are deforestation-free.

Biodiversity proposals – a rare species
Blog Thought Leadership Equity BLOG0075One indicator of the importance of a topic to investment managers is whether it features on the agenda at annual shareholder meetings.

Sleeve labelling provides a short-term solution to boost recycling rates, Planet Tracker says
Press Release Plastic Circularity EquityCurrently less than nine per cent of plastic waste is recycled and attention is too often focused on the container’s material to the neglect of the type of label used. However, the availability of recycled plastics is not currently able to meet this rising demand. Consumer brands should adopt a self-help approach which ensures that labels are of the same material as the container.
