Cape Grim sustainable development framework

30 June 2020
Focus area: Communities
Program stream: Sustainability
Project number: 2019-1036
The aim of this project was to develop a sustainability framework for Greenham Cape Grim Beef, based on the Australian Beef Sustainability Framework (ABSF). Greenham Cape Grim Beef has a paddock-to-plate business model, producing, processing and marketing premium grassfed beef products.

Greenham developed a sustainability framework for its Cape Grim Beef value chain, which has provided a means to inform business and consumer decision making that promotes sustainable development.
The results from the economic impact assessment indicate that the net present value of a sustainability framework over 10 years is estimated to be $2 million at a discount rate of 7%. The annualised benefit over a ten-year period is 19% and the cost benefit ratio is 15.6 to 1.

This project has created the opportunity for the Cape Grim Beef value chain to be recognised for their current management practices that contribute to sustainability in animal welfare, economic, environment and community (people).
