Investor pressure produces results in fast food

Investor pressure is getting results in fast food Around three years ago, McDonald’s had its climate plan approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTI), the nonprofit that rubber-stamps strategies that are in line with limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius. The company was an outlier: None of the biggest fast-food brands had shown such ambition. Just over a year ago, the situation was not much better. McDonald’s big rivals lacked approved targets, although Chipotle had at least committed to setting one. Then, just a few months back, things started to move. In February, Domino’s announced plans for a science-based target. In March, Yum! Brands, parent company to KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, had its target approved by the SBTI. And last month, Wendy’s said it would pursue the same goal.

So far, 110 investors with a collective $33 trillion in assets are participating in the Paris Aligned Investment Initiative, including the $226.4 billion New York State Common Retirement Fund, Albany. In December, the pension fund committed to a net-zero carbon emissions target by 2040. The initiative is coordinated by Ceres, the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change, the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change and the Investor Group on Climate Change. A similar track for asset managers launched in December includes 30 firms with a collective $9 trillion.
