📢 70 international financial institutions representing assets worth USD 6.8 trillion are calling on petrochemical companies to address plastic pollution issues. Petrochemical companies are a major contributor to plastic production, which is forecast to triple by 2060, meaning petrochemical companies will become the primary driver of oil demand growth. As the plastic pollution crisis mounts and demands for a Global Plastics Treaty grow, petrochemical companies have stalled progress in negotiations by: 1.    Resisting calls to include the full life cycle of plastics 2.    Opposing the reduction of plastic production 3.    Opposing the inclusion of polymer production in the treaty Petrochemical companies are exposed to significant plastics-related risks, which are financially material for corporates and their investors. Therefore, the collective Investor Statement requests petrochemical companies to: ➡ Disclose and define strategies ➡ Address toxic polymers and chemicals ➡ Develop sustainable infrastructure ➡ Establish governance ➡ Support international agreements Read the Investor Statement here: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dUrhB9fB #BeatPlasticPollution #GlobalPlasticsTreaty #PlasticPollution #Petrochemicals #ToxicChemicals #FossilFuels #INC4 #PlasticRisk #UpstreamSolutions #ClimateChange #Stewardship #ResponsibleInvestors

The European Environment Agency's latest report adds to the growing evidence on the risks of synthetic chemicals ⚠ These ‘novel entities’ are being released at an unprecedented scale, and while many remain unstudied, scientific research is increasingly uncovering their widespread harm. But are financial markets accurately assessing the risks for both producers and users of these chemicals❓ Investors and lenders face three major risk evaluation challenges: 1️⃣ Timing: when will the financial impact hit? 2️⃣ Scope: is this a company-specific risk or a systemic one? 3️⃣ Litigation: what is the potential exposure to litigation?
