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: 150 of 500 contacted so far. Taking part does not mean endorsing any particular solution.

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.
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
Every company received the same letter, with its own name in place of {company}.
Displayed letter text (as shown on this page)
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. The subject and body below use the current template wording for Global 500; early recipients saw the "100 largest" phrase where that applied.
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

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.
