OmniAction gathers experts from within its community to discuss the terrible risk that business and finace currently faces – and to explore how OmniAction might support efforts to address this.
According to FAIRR:
- 50% of the largest protein producer companies rank as High Risk, signalling chronic underreporting and poor management of major risk themes
- 70% of total sector emissions – typically within Scope 3 – remain largely untargeted for reductions. Only 18% of companies set a Scope 3 target.
- 60% of companies are yet to set targets for Scope 1 and 2.
- 82% of companies that produce meat and dairy do not disclose how they address water scarcity risks in feed farming.
- No beef producer in Brazil can trace the entire life cycle of its sourced cattle, with current monitoring systems missing an estimated 85-90% of deforestation.
Join our panelists:
