Episode #32: Embracing sustainability: Growing investor interest in environmental and social governance is driving change for the packaging industry

Gabriel Thoumi, head of the plastics program and director of financial markets at Planet Tracker, joined David Clark, Amcor’s vice president of sustainability, on Amcor’s Big Ideas podcast to discuss the financial market’s growing interest in one of the packaging industry’s trending topics – plastics underserved by recycling infrastructure.  In the podcast, they discuss how investor and analyst attention is having knock-on effects for the packaging landscape and driving innovation, creating opportunities and making lower impact products. The financial market is starting to take a greater interest – but how can this interest drive change for more responsible packaging and positive environmental outcomes?  You can also read the Unwrapping Investor Risk report and the Stormy Outlook report, both written by Planet Tracker.  Finally, you can watch the ‘ESG & the Global Plastic Supply Chain: Uncovering material risks & opportunities in a changing world’ event by clicking here.
