Signatories included Amundi, Aviva Investors, AXA IM, LGIM, Mirova, and Rockefeller Asset Management. The statement comes as companies and investors face growing financial, physical, legal, technological, regulatory and reputational risks related to plastic pollution, ranging from financial risks as governments require companies to cover waste management costs, to the risk of petrochemical and plastics investments becoming stranded assets as regulations tighten. Last month, for example, Canada proposed new rules introducing recycled content requirements for plastic packaging and labelling and reporting requirements for plastic products. Many jurisdictions have also recently introduced laws banning the use of single-use plastics. Investors have also been increased their calls for transparency on plastic-related risks.
