Legalità per il clima on behalf of 45 individuals and Italian CSOs vs. Cremonini S.p.A.

Allegations

On 1 March 2022, Legalità per il clima on behalf of 45 others (17 NGOs, 26 individuals, 1 political party, and 1 movement) filed a specific instance against Cremonini S.p.A. to NCP Italy. The complaint concerns the company’s activities in Italy related to the intensive livestock farming. The complainants allege that the livestock sector contributes to the global climate emergency, especially given the large volumes of methane produced by livestock.

The Complainants request the NCP’s assistance to mediate a pathway for the company to release information on the climate (and environmental) impacts of its activities, to adjust their risk assessment plans, and to work towards a drastic reduction of methane and other greenhouse gases and pollutants.
