Investor expectations of food companies are shifting as the impacts of climate change become more immediate and material. While long-term emissions reduction targets and net-zero commitments still matter, investors are increasingly focused on whether companies have credible, practical strategies to deal with climate-related disruption happening now. The emphasis is moving away from abstract future goals and towards resilience, risk management and cost mitigation across supply chains.
A recent Footprint article highlights that investors are asking tougher questions about how businesses will cope with extreme weather, volatile input prices, water stress and supply instability, and how these risks are being factored into commercial decision-making. For meat and livestock businesses, this reinforces the importance of pairing continued environmental improvement with a proactive approach to managing what are widely seen as inevitable climate-driven disruptions by protecting supply, margins and long-term viability.
