FAIRR Newsletter | January 2022

Let me start by wishing you all a happy and healthy new year!

Before the holidays, our team was working hard to deliver the fourth iteration of the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index, including several member-only webinars where we delved deeper into this year’s results. The sessions are now available to watch on-demand via our website. Also, check out the public versions of several Index reports!

We are currently working to deliver our work across multiple formats. In January, you can watch two interviews in partnership with ESG Nexus where we explore the Index findings from a US perspective and revisit our work on Animal Health. On Thursday, we are also running a special and timely webinar focusing on the EU Taxonomy and Implications for Investors: Gas, Nuclear and Agriculture, and next month, we open sign-on for Phase 2 of the Aquaculture and Working Conditions engagements.

Finally, we are still collecting responses to our Annual Investor Survey. If you have not yet done this, we want to hear from you! It takes no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete and offers you a chance to help guide FAIRR’s work in the global food system. The survey closes this Friday.

Two Spotlight reports, which were released as part of the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index, are now publicly available to download. Each report focuses on a key issue within the animal agriculture sector, namely climate risk and animal waste (mis)management. The redacted reports can be downloaded via the buttons below.
