Genetic modification

Our customers have expressed a variety of concerns about genetic modification, which include the potential for the technology to damage the environment, or compromise human health.

By investing in companies that develop genetically modified organisms (GMOs) we have the opportunity to bring these concerns to the table, and push for change where necessary.

This way we can achieve a better result for everyone.

Our policy statement on Genetic Modification

We will challenge businesses involved in the application of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) which:

  • damage the environment, e.g. through the uncontrolled release of GMOs .
  • compromise human health, e.g. through a failure to account for significant risks.
We're the first major UK company to ensure our operations go beyond carbon neutral
