Greenbank’s stewardship and engagement lead Sophie Lawrence features in this interesting CNBC video with Tim Spector of King’s College London and co-founder of the Zoe personalised nutrition program, Dr Kiara Chang of Imperial College and Rebecca Tobi of The Food Foundation.

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.”
