Climate Policy Engagement Analysis
Climate Policy Engagement Overview: Food Industry Asia (FIA) appears to have limited engagement with climate policies in 2021-24. It has limited top-line communications on climate policy. FIA appears to support Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) systems in ASEAN countries, with some minor exceptions.
Top-line Messaging on Climate Policy: Food Industry Asia (FIA) has limited but positive top-line communications on climate policy. On its website accessed in October 2023, it supported the goals of the UN Paris Agreement. Also on its website, accessed in October 2023, FIA stated top-line support for adopted carbon reduction targets in Asian countries to keep warming within the limits set by the UN Paris Agreement. However, these webpages are no longer publicly accessible. InfluenceMap did not detect public positions on the need for government regulation on climate change in 2021-24.
Engagement with Climate-Related Regulations: Food Industry Asia (FIA) appears to have limited engagement with specific climate change regulations. In a white paper published on its website in June 2024, FIA appeared to conditionally support waste management policies such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees, as it supported the eco-modulation of fees and advocated for conditions for EPR systems to work efficiently, but also emphasized concerns over practicality and implementation. In the same white paper, FIA supported waste collection and management targets, but was unclear on whether it supported implementing policy in line with the waste hierarchy as it did not mention the need to prioritize reducing and reusing packaging and packaging waste.
