Chemicals and Biodiversity Investor Statements 2025

With more than half of the world's GDP highly or moderately dependent on nature and biodiversity, ecosystem losses pose a systemic risk to companies and their shareholders.

Pollution, including from chemicals, is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss and is an increasingly relevant global risk. The chemicals industry, including agrochemical producers, has a huge impact on biodiversity loss – their toxic products damage the environment through their role in pollution and land use change.

We have collaborated with Achmea Investment Management, ChemSec, Erste Asset Management, IEHN of Clean Production Action, Planet Tracker, Mercy Investments to produce two investors statements, one is directed towards the chemical industry and the other is an investor statement directed towards the governments represented in the Global Framework on Chemicals and the Global Biodiversity Framework.
