Page 2 - New benchmark reveals obesity investment risk in world’s largest food companies
particularly developing countries.
The ranking was compiled from research and investor meetings with the companies. Rachel Crossley, director, investor responsibility at Insight Investments, said: “I think the issue of potential future regulation is of concern to investors. Legislation may not be bad, but it can be onerous, costly and sometimes quite blunt. At the moment, governments are telling companies to improve their standards voluntarily, and there are many that are behind the curve on this. In addition, we’re seeing a consumer move to healthier foods that is starting to register on the share prices of companies that can take advantage of what we believe will be a permanent shift.”
