Consultative committee
The Consultative Committee serves as a reference group for the Framework. Consulting with the group has provided valuable insight and perspective into the activities and expectations of our non-industry stakeholders. Their input was used to determine the six key priorities.
The Consultative Committee includes Australian and overseas retailers, banks, investors, environment and welfare non-government organisations, agribusiness, researchers, government, policy organisations and industry groups. The organisations represented at the Consultative Committee forums in August 2019 and February 2020 are listed below.
The Consultative Committee meets twice a year to:
- Share information about emerging trends, issues and opportunities for sustainable food production
- Identify emerging issues and opportunities for industry
- Confirm the priority areas of sustainable beef production for reporting progress to stakeholders and the wider community
- Enable the SSG (and therefore, industry) to better anticipate emerging focus areas for customers and other stakeholders
- Provide the SSG with more information to better implement the Framework
The establishment of the Consultative Committee recognises those within and outside of the industry must work together for the Framework to be valuable, relevant and robust. The commitment made to the Consultative Committee is that all views are listened to and considered, with clear reporting of why or why not suggestions were actioned.
