        27 April 2016: 'Sugar and obesity: how do investors manage the social risk?' article published

        CAER ESG Analyst Nina Haysler wrote an article for Vigeo Eiris. Obesity is a widely noted social risk and over the years the issue has been receiving increasing attention from investors. Companies have the power to respond to obesity risks and minimise the negative social influence of products through a range of different methods. Investors considering investing in companies with a high obesity risk should consider whether the company is appropriately responding and managing these risks. According to CAER research, Australian companies have been lagging behind global peers in their responses to the increasing risks associated with obesity.
