Summary
1. Review and refine the sustainability indicators available in the beef industry, to meaningfully measure industry’s progress in sustainability, including:
a) a full stocktake and analysis of what data could underpin meaningful performance measures
b) a gap analysis against what data is available and/or what could give rise to meaningful measures
c) identification of data gaps (for performance measures), and suggestions of how data may be collected in the future.
2. Ensure that the industry’s sustainability credentials are easily communicated to the target audience in a way that is relevant to them.
3. Position ABSF reporting as relevant now and into the future.
Objectives
The beef industry is continuously evolving to adopting proactive, transparent, and co-ordinated approaches to meet customer and community expectations. As part of this process, the industry needs a clearer understanding of what data are currently available across the key areas of sustainability and to determine what indicators are most relevant.
