Organisation
Minderoo Foundation
The philanthropic foundation founded and chaired by Andrew Forrest, publisher of the 2021 Plastic Waste Makers Index.
Minderoo Foundation is a philanthropic organisation founded and chaired by Andrew Forrest. As reported by ABC News, the first Plastic Waste Makers Index, published by Minderoo in 2021, alleged that ExxonMobil was the largest producer of the plastic polymers which are then turned into single-use plastics — a claim ExxonMobil denies, saying it does not make single-use plastics.
ExxonMobil’s defamation complaint claimed the Intergenerational Environment Justice Fund is a subsidiary of Minderoo. ABC News reported that a Minderoo spokesperson said Minderoo’s reference in the complaint is incorrect in terms of its relationship with the fund, and in connection with the publication of the Plastic Waste Makers Index and its ongoing advocacy.
