Planet Tracker has traced 2,153 fishing vessels to the world’s largest tuna harvesting companies – revealing, for the first time, their catch volumes by stock in the absence of adequate reporting from companies.
The thirty largest tuna harvesters account for an estimated 46% of global tuna catch. Only four out of 30 firms report any tuna catch volumes. By shedding light on corporate activity in the opaque tuna industry, this analysis shows why greater transparency is urgently needed – not just for ocean health, but to reduce investor risk and to support the financial performance of tuna harvesting companies.
New research from Planet Tracker finds that although most companies recognise the material importance of sustainability goals, executives are not being incentivised through bonus structures to achieve them – exposing investors to risk if these targets are missed.
This report highlights that although sustainability is often mentioned as a significant risk to corporates in the Chemicals, Transport and Consumer Goods sectors, addressing this risk is often not incorporated into how executives are incentivised. When sustainability targets are included in executive compensation setting, investors should not assume it is material until a more detailed analysis has been undertaken. They can rightly ask whether the targets are merely greenwashing if they can easily be rendered irrelevant.
New research from Planet Tracker finds that six out of eight major chemical companies do not have credible climate transition strategies aligned with a 1.5°C pathway by 2030.
This report benchmarks the climate transition performance of eight of the world’s top chemical companies: BASF, Bayer, Dow, Incitec Pivot, Air Liquide, LyondellBasell, SABIC, and Toray Industries. It evaluates them across emissions performance, value chain engagement, governance and remuneration, capital allocation, and policy advocacy.
Analysis of over 4,000 corporate reports and investor communications from 30 leading European banks reveals widespread failure to address financial risks from plastic pollution.
Companies in the plastic industry should have one of the longest risk registers of any sector. European retail banks financing plastics, along with their investors are financially exposed to these plastic-related risks. In this report, we use natural language processing to examine how major European retail banks talk about plastics and whether they consider plastic pollution risk as part of their lending criteria.
Incitec Pivot is on track for a 1.5°C pathway by 2030. While Incitec Pivot demonstrates credible initiatives, such as technological innovation and strategic partnerships, certain transparency gaps remain.
Toray aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 but is most likely heading towards a 2°C to 3°C scenario by 2030. Without stronger absolute reduction commitments, enhanced supply chain accountability, and clearer links between incentives and Net Zero goals, Toray appears unlikely to align with the more ambitious 1.5°C target.
