85 organisations including major global businesses, financial institutions and NGOs have announced a common vision for an effective and ambitious Global Treaty to End Plastic Pollution. The vision will form the basis for future policy engagements with governments through a newly launched Business Coalition for a Global Plastics Treaty which will be convened by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and WWF.
Robert-Alexandre Poujade, our ESG analyst, Biodiversity Lead, commented:
“Ending plastic pollution requires the involvement of everyone, including investors and states. The task is immense but the success of the Montreal Protocol reminds us that ambitious treaties can be game changers. As the sustainable investor for a changing world, BNP Paribas Asset Management wants to signal that this treaty is a turning point for preserving our health, reducing the pressure on biodiversity loss and maintaining our societies within the planetary boundaries.”
