ItaSIF – The plastic crisis: how sustainable finance can drive change

In the last 20 years global output of plastic doubled, and most plastic waste was dumped into the environment. Plastic has huge impacts on marine biodiversity. Oil-producing countries opposed setting a plastic production reduction target at the late 2024 negotiation to put an end to plastic pollution. Corporate behemoths recently relinquished on their previous plastic commitment. To fight this status quo, sustainable investors need to convince invested companies setting up trajectories of plastic reduction and working towards a more sustainable management of plastic waste.

The webinar, organised by ItaSIF in collaboration with Ofi Invest Asset Management, analyses practices and trends related to plastic and lists the levers for action to alleviate plastic pollution.
