Sustainability & CSR

Sustainability & CSR

Sustainability means meeting our needs and the needs of our customers without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social and economic resources.

Our organisation recognises the high importance of Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility, and we align and exceed our commitments with our customer’s and stakeholder’s expectations.

Comgroup is an active member of the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) and a Consultative Committee member for the Australian Beef Sustainability Framework (ABSF).

The GRSB has drafted the following the following expectations from its members which Comgroup are committed to:

• Commitment to no deforestation of forest or natural ecosystems of high conservation value (HCV)
• Commitment to no development in high carbon stock (HCS) areas and no new development on peatlands
• Annual progress on traceability to farms to demonstrate efforts to assure deforestation-free production
• Participate in multi-stakeholder landscape initiatives, as exist, so as to contribute to halting the overall dynamic of deforestation and conversion
• Support farmers who are out of compliance with national legislation or zero deforestation criteria on restoration efforts, as identified by traceability efforts
• Transparent reporting on progress
