ABOUT THE INITIATIVE

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.

Achmea Investment Management, ChemSec, Erste Asset Management, IEHN of Clean Production Action, Planet Tracker, Mercy Investment Services, and ShareAction collaborated to produce two investor statements: one directed towards the chemical industry and the other towards the governments represented in the Global Framework on Chemicals. We intend to launch the statement at the end of June to coincide with the Open-Ended Working Group Meetings of the Global Framework on Chemicals.

You can learn more about each statement here and add your signature to support by June 20th.
