The Perth Agreement Contact

Companies

One question for the world's largest companies.

Should every person on Earth, and every child yet to be born, be assured at least one nutritious meal every day?

We are inviting the Fortune Global 500 to share what they know about how food reaches people: what is already working, the greatest obstacles, and what could be done differently. We are asking for knowledge and judgment, not money.

Their knowledge matters. So does yours.

Invitation is underway: 310 of 500 contacted so far. Taking part does not mean endorsing any particular solution.

Individual knowledge is welcome. An authorised company statement is different — see the notice at the form before you send.

Where invitations have been sent

Each dot is a headquarters country of companies already invited by email. The number is how many invitations went to companies based there. Foreign subsidiaries in other countries are not shown as separate dots.

Before you write — what becomes public

  • Invitations we send are published. Replies are published only with clear understanding and permission under our openness principles.
  • Names, organisations and the substance of the message stay. We leave off personal phone numbers and street addresses only.
  • Correspondence received is not the same as a formal verified corporate position.
  • An authorised company statement is published only after we confirm it came from an official company domain, the sender's named role, a confirmation back to that address, and that the sender has authority to speak for the company. An email domain alone is not enough.
  • Nothing is published as an endorsement of any particular solution. See the public record rules.

Any company — invited or not — can send an idea, question, criticism, proposed alternative, or practical knowledge about how food reaches people. A short answer is welcome. Individual observations are welcome; they are not treated as the company's formal position unless the authorisation steps above are met.

Send a company statement

Or email contact@theperthagreement.com with the subject "Company statement: [company name]", from an official company address, and include the sender's name and role.

The invitation letters

Earlier invitations used the template below. The letters sent on 8–9 November 2026 follow it, and the newest letters, sent on 10 November 2026, are last.

Earlier template

Dated correction (5–6 November 2026): Early wave letters said "the world's 100 largest companies". From rank 101 onward the invitation covers the whole Fortune Global 500. Future letters say so. Early recipients saw the "100 largest" phrase where that applied. This template is the earlier wording.

Subject: One question for {company}: a nutritious meal for every person, every day

Dear {company} team,

I am writing to invite {company} to consider one question:

Should every person on Earth, and every child yet to be born, be assured at least one nutritious meal every day?

The Perth Agreement is putting this question to the world.

So far, we have contacted the governments of 188 nations, 213 universities, major faith traditions, people of no religious belief, and organisations already working to feed people.

Seven leading AI systems have also examined the question. All seven supported the principle while identifying important challenges that deserve serious consideration.

We are now inviting the Fortune Global 500 to contribute their thinking.

Every nutritious meal depends on an extraordinary network of people and businesses: agriculture, energy, transport, finance, technology, manufacturing and retail.

Your company's experience may reveal something the rest of us haven't considered.

We would welcome your perspective on three things:
* What is already working?
* What are the greatest obstacles?
* What could be done differently?

A single observation, question or suggestion is a worthwhile contribution.

The Perth Agreement remains open to examination, criticism and improvement. Supporting the discussion does not mean endorsing any particular solution.

You can explore the proposal at https://theperthagreement.com.

If this invitation has reached the wrong department, I would appreciate you forwarding it to the appropriate person in sustainability, corporate affairs or strategy.

Thank you for considering the question.

Custodian, The Perth Agreement

Letters sent 8–9 November 2026

This is the text sent at 03:12 AWST on 8 November to 22 companies, again at 03:46 AWST to 18 companies, and again at 16:32 AWST on 9 November to 20 companies. The copies differ only by the company name. Of the 03:12 letters, GSK did not arrive and the other 21 did. Of the 03:46 letters, all 18 were delivered, including REWE Group. Of the 16:32 letters, 19 were delivered and Volkswagen Group later bounced (confirmed on the delivery list at 06:50 AWST on 10 November). Server acceptance is not a reading, a reply, or an endorsement.

Subject: One question for {company}: a nutritious meal for every person, every day

Dear {company} team,

I am writing from Perth, Western Australia, to invite {company} to consider one question:

Should every person on Earth, and every child yet to be born, be assured at least one nutritious meal every day?

The Perth Agreement is putting this question to the world. We are inviting the Fortune Global 500 to share their thinking. I am asking for knowledge and judgment, not money.

Every nutritious meal depends on people and businesses working across agriculture, energy, transport, finance, technology, manufacturing and retail. Your company's experience may reveal something the rest of us haven't considered.

I would welcome your thoughts on three things:
- What is already working?
- What are the greatest obstacles?
- What could be done differently?

A single observation, question or suggestion can help. Criticism and alternative ideas are welcome too.

A reply does not mean you or your company endorse The Perth Agreement or any particular solution. We will not treat an individual's thoughts as an authorised company statement.

Your reply will not be published automatically. If we would like to share it publicly, we will ask your permission first, including whether you would like your name included. Your email address will remain private.

You can explore the question at https://theperthagreement.com.

If I have reached the wrong department, I would appreciate you passing this invitation to someone in sustainability, corporate affairs or strategy.

Thank you for considering the question. If you prefer not to receive further invitations, please let me know and we will respect that.

I would welcome your thoughts on three things:
- What is already working?
- What are the greatest obstacles?
- What could be done differently?

A single observation, question or suggestion is welcome. Criticism and alternative ideas are welcome too.

A reply does not mean you or your company endorse The Perth Agreement or any particular solution. We will not treat an individual's thoughts as an authorised company statement.

Your reply will not be published automatically. If we would like to share it publicly, we will ask your permission first, including whether you would like your name included. Your email address will remain private.

You can explore the question at https://theperthagreement.com.

If I have reached the wrong department, I would appreciate you passing this invitation to someone in sustainability, corporate affairs or strategy.

Thank you for considering the question. If you prefer not to receive further invitations, please let me know and we will respect that.

The Perth Agreement
Perth, Western Australia

Publication and verification

  • Invitations and replies are published under the public record.
  • Personal phone numbers and street addresses are left off. Nothing else is removed from a published reply.
  • A formal company position requires official domain, named role, confirmation back, and authority to speak for the company.
  • Until those checks are done, mail we receive is correspondence — not a verified corporate statement.
