A new analysis reveals that leading plastic producers and purchasers lack alignment between ESG performance and executive pay, posing risks to sustainability goals and inviting investor scrutiny.
An analysis by Planet Tracker finds that 83% of major plastic companies do not mention any kind of risk in their documents, raising concerns about environmental and social impacts and the need for concrete change.
A new report argues there's a "dangerous complacency" among public companies about the long-term financial risks they face over plastics issues, and they should disclose more to investors.
