Sophie explains the aims of the Investor Coalition for food policy (which represents assets worth more than $7 trillion) in calling for mandatory reporting of a set of health and sustainability metrics by food sector companies:

“The voluntary reporting standards have been inadequate in driving the necessary scale of change, but by reporting this data in a consistent way, it means that as investors we can understand the risks that are facing these companies.”
