A call for mandatory disclosure of plastic data for a sustainable future

Plastic pollution is detrimental to our global ecosystems, economies and communities. With a Global Plastics Treaty in development, now is the time for governments to take vital action and address one of the most pressing challenges of our time, plastic pollution.

In this transformative period, CDP have led on an open letter to global governments, requesting that mandatory corporate disclosure of plastics be included as part of the Global Plastics Treaty. 49 financial institutions with a combined total of $3.5 Trillion USD in assets under management endorsed the letter, which called for robust mandatory disclosure text to be included within the international legally binding instrument.

By publicly supporting CDP's letter, these institution are helping to send a powerful signal to policymakers and the global community regarding the importance of data in addressing the plastic crisis.
