A recent survey of executive opinions on climate change found that the majority regard it as a strategically important issue - but more than a third said it is seldom or never considered when actually developing strategy.
The survey, conducted by the consultancy in December 2007, included 2192 executives from a range of industries around the world. Forty per cent were split between manufacturing and finance, with others hailing from energy, business service and high tech industries.
Although the findings, published in The McKinsey Quarterly, do not break out food manufacturing from industry at large, the figures give interesting overall context for the measures that are being taken by some multinationals in the sector.
