Impact and Influence of Global ESG Policy on Australian and New Zealand Farmers.
The ANZCCJ Food Agriculture and Hospitality Committee invites members and friends to join us for a presentation by and discussion with distinguished 2024 Nuffield Scholar, Catherine Marriott.
Catherine has conducted an insightful research project on the influence of Global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policy on Australian farmers. Her report delves into the challenges and opportunities that ESG policies present to the agricultural sector in Australia. Catherine`s research took her to Europe, Asia (including Japan and Korea) and the USA where she spoke to industry leaders and governments. While the report was focused on Australia the impacts will be similar on farmers in New Zealand.
Key Highlights of the Report:
- Increased Awareness and Adoption: Catherine's research highlights the growing awareness among Australian farmers about the importance of ESG policies and the steps they are taking to adopt sustainable practices.
- Challenges in Implementation: The report identifies significant challenges in implementing ESG policies, including financial constraints, resource limitations, and the need for more education and support.
- Positive Impact on Market Access: Farmers who have embraced ESG policies have experienced improved market access, as consumers and businesses increasingly prioritize products that meet ESG standards.
- Need for Policy Support: Catherine emphasizes the necessity for stronger policy support from the government to aid farmers in transitioning to sustainable practices, including financial incentives and educational programs.
- Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing: The report underscores the importance of collaboration between farmers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to share knowledge and best practices for overcoming ESG implementation challenges.
Catherine is a great storyteller, and her presentation promises to be as entertaining as it is insightful. Guest are welcome to ask questions throughout and share their experiences on ESG’s with the group.

Over the past decade, a wave of major transport investment has defined Australia's infrastructure sector, supported by robust state finances, economic rationalism, and federal backing.
While ongoing investment in transport and social infrastructure remains integral to the Australian economy, today the pipeline for infrastructure looks substantially different, providing a new set of opportunities.
The expansion of cloud computing and AI is expected to drive substantial demand for data centers in the next decade. Simultaneously, the geopolitical landscape is prompting increased investments in defense and security. Additionally, the urgent need for decarbonization is set to propel growth in the energy transition sector.
As Australia and Japan draw closer and closer, join us to discuss how our two nations can collaborate to harness these emerging opportunities and shape the next decade of infrastructure development.
