Sustainability, measured within the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Framework is an issue that all organisations need to address to futureproof themselves. It does and will increasingly impact attracting and retaining capital, clients and staff and may progressively further impact legal obligations and cost control.
Australian agricultural landholders can and will continue to play an important role in removing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the atmosphere to reduce the rate of global warming. Global agreements, namely the Paris Agreement, a legally binding international treaty on climate change effective November 2016, will commence tracking transparency of actions to achieve emission reduction targets of 2030 and 2050 in each country from 2024. The agreement has commenced turning the wheels of change at a government level but interestingly there is an acceleration of voluntary change in the private sector. Early movers in the private sector forecast that higher ESG rated companies will be more competitive and have improved access to capital as they align with expectations of customers, staff and investors.
