In 2022, the Australian chicken meat industry tasked AgriFutures Australia and its Chicken Meat Program with commissioning and managing the industry’s first materiality assessment.
The materiality assessment aimed to show which topics (issues, risks and opportunities) are of greatest importance to the industry and its stakeholders, and to inform sustainability efforts across the industry.
Sustainability consultancy Point Advisory was commissioned to undertake the assessment and prepared this report.
The report provides the outcomes of the materiality assessment and shows how these outcomes were determined. It details the findings of stakeholder and industry engagement and desktop analysis.
Assessment results are provided in Section 2, followed by a brief methodology overview in Section 3, and detailed survey results analysis in Section 4. Section 5 details the findings of 18 one-to-one interviews.
