ESG expert and hub Senior Research Officer, Ana Leite De Almeida and Reef Catchments Drought Resilience Coordinator, Carlos Bueno have been out visiting several sugarcane farmers who attended the ‘ESG on Farm’ workshop in Mackay in December last year.
The purpose of the visit was to meet and go through a new one-on-one activity with those farmers who are interested in completing an ESG analyse, and to better understanding what would be the easiest and most effective way for farmers to adopt the ESG on Farm framework.
Ana and Carlos worked with the farmers to apply the framework to their individual business. Ana said, “It’s so important to continue working with the farmers who are interested in implementing these ESG practices. As one of them said to me, he wants to be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
“By working directly with the farmers, some have been able to identify opportunities for reducing environmental impacts and to implement more sustainable management.”
