Environmental Reporting

The ability to demonstrate responsible use of resources and inputs across the value chain may be a requirement for access to markets and resources in the future. A key component of any reporting framework will be the farm Dairy Self Assessment Tool (DairySAT). DairySAT is the first stage of an Environmental Management Systems process and can be used to assess the performance of a farm business against industry best practice. DairySAT is currently being revised to enable integration into a whole of industry environmental reporting framework.
