2025 Annual Update

The Australian Beef Sustainability Framework tracks the performance of the beef industry against a series of indicators grouped under four themes:

  • Best Animal Care,
  • Economic resilience
  • Environmental stewardship
  • People and the community.

Within the four themes the industry has identified 27 priority issues and utilises 55 indicators with which to measure sustainability within those priority areas. The reporting boundary covers the actions of the entire Australian beef value chain, including farms, saleyards, feedlots, transport, processing, and live export.
The 2025 Annual Update has been prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, specifically the applications of GRI principles, general disclosures and material topics, as well as GRI 13: Sector Standard for Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fishing and the topics considered to be material by the Australian beef industry. Unless otherwise stated, this report presents information for the period of 1 June 2024 to 31 July 2025.
