Protein
Exposure to meat supply chains is now seen as a risk by institutional investors. A new report called “Appetite for Disruption” by $5.3 trillion investor coalition FAIRR ranks 25 retail giants, identifying leaders (Unilever, Tesco, Nestle, Marks & Spencer, Conagra) and laggards (Amazon, Hershey, Costco, Saputo). Across the board 87% are increasing own-brand plant-based products and 67% mention plant-based or vegan in their annual reports or quarterly earnings calls. With livestock supply chains accounting for 14.5% of global carbon emissions and alt-protein predicted to capture 10% of the meat market in 15 years, there will be winners and losers.
