About this Event

Petrochemical companies are a major contributor to the crisis of plastic pollution. They are the source of the raw materials plastics are made of. However, despite known environmental and human health harms and the growing regulatory and litigation risk, the industry seems set on business asusual.

Join our event to discuss the need for petrochemical companies to step up to their responsibility for addressing the plastic pollution crisis and hear from experts on recent policy developments, litigation risks, andsteps the industry needs to take to transition to safe and environmentally sound practices.

  • Rolando Morillo, Senior VP, Portfolio Manager of Thematic Investment Strategies, Rockefeller Asset Management
  • Claire Elsdon, Global Director of Capital Markets, CDP
  • Hana Heineken, Attorney, Purposeful Markets, Client Earth
  • TBA: High Ambition Coalition Member
