Launched in 2019, the Australian Grain Sustainability Framework (GSF), is intended to serve as an instrument for strengthening the sustainability of the Australian grains industry.
Through sustainability reporting, the GSF will demonstrate the grains industry’s commitment to continuous improvement, elevate the global standing of Australian grain and advance market potential for Australian growers.
define sustainable grain production in the Australian context
use defensible data to report national grain industry performance against key sustainability measures
monitor, analyse and flag performance trends over time
showcase strengths and highlight progress
identify areas in need of investment for ongoing improvement
The GSF will meet the growing requirements for transparent and standardised reporting, driven by escalating customer demand, forthcoming disclosure mandates and the ongoing need to mitigate capital risk.
Further, reporting of sector performance and demonstrating ongoing improvement will help protect and grow the customer base for Australian grains and support advancements in trade and market access.
GrainGrowers advocates for policies that promote productive and sustainable grain production. It is critical that Australian growers are well placed to capitalise on opportunities and manage risks arising from climate policy and that industry has a clear position on our climate and sustainability credentials.
