We are developing educational materials to help support Australian producers, farmers and land managers understand the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework.
ESG is a framework that can help producers to address sustainability issues, enhance sustainability performance, increase resilience, reduce risks and create opportunities.
It is no longer a niche concept. ESG standards are now essential for promoting sustainability in agriculture and creating long-term value in agricultural production.
