Australian Lot Feeders'​ Association’s Post

The Australian Beef Sustainability Framework (ABSF) wishes to express its gratitude to Mark Davie for his exceptional commitment and leadership as Chair of the Steering Group, a role he concludes today.   Mark joined the Steering Group in September 2020 and assumed the position of Chair in November 2021. Throughout his tenure, he has been instrumental in refining ABSF indicators to better serve stakeholders, increasing industry engagement on sustainability priorities, and enhancing the visibility of our sustainability credentials. Mark also played a pivotal role in developing the five beef sustainability goals. His representation of the industry at both national and international events has been crucial in strengthening the ABSF’s credibility. Notably, he made significant contributions as a panellist on the nature-positive panel at the 2022 Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (GRSB) conference in Colorado.   Under Mark’s leadership, the ABSF has solidified its reputation as a world-leading sustainability initiative for the beef industry.   The ABSF also extends its sincere thanks to long-standing Steering Group members Jenny O'Sullivan, Dr Michael Maxwell, and Carl Duncan, who are also stepping down today. Their invaluable expertise and dedication over the past five years have been fundamental to the ABSF’s success and have positioned the industry to seize future sustainability opportunities.
