(AOF) – The food and beverage industry is at the crossroads of the most important environmental challenges of the moment, underlines Candriam. Indeed, feeding 7.5 billion humans is intimately linked to our relationship with biodiversity. According to the asset manager, this is one of the causes of climate change and is two of the three main sources of greenhouse gas emissions.
At the same time, companies in the food and beverage sector are highly exposed to changing consumer expectations. In particular, they are increasingly aware of the environmental, social and health impact of the food they consume. These changes may lead or result from new regulatory initiatives targeting product content, packaging and production processes.
For all these reasons, the food and beverage sectors provide the ideal ground to study how ESG investing is changing our perception of a key group of companies, the analyst tells us. This will examine during a debate on December 16, 2021 how these companies are responding to and anticipating new regulatory and consumer pressures, and how they are becoming more sustainable while managing to feed, potentially, 10 billion human beings. by 2050.
