Investor letter challenging food and drink sector to act on public health
Major investors, coordinated by ShareAction, have written to six CEOs of food and beverage manufacturers – including PepsiCo, Coca-Cola and Mondelez – calling on the sector to be more transparent about the healthiness of its sales as a first step towards taking accountability for its significant impact on public health.
Most of the investor signatories are part of ShareAction’s Long-Term Investors in People’s Health initiative, which encourages the integration of health as a responsible investment theme to help build healthier, fairer societies.
