Providing for an increasing demand in sustainable food products
Consumers around the world are more aware of the origins of their food, and there is increasing demand for sustainably produced food products, including products made from grain. We are well placed to meet this demand with Australia’s ability to produce sustainably grown and internationally accredited grain.
Our Marketing and Trading team is working closely with our customers to find opportunities to secure new markets to export sustainable grain. We certify our sustainable grain as part of the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification program (ISCC).
The ISCC program is an internationally recognised sustainability accreditation system. Certifications like ISCC are increasingly becoming a prerequisite for sustainable sourcing strategies of major multinational food manufacturing companies.
Since 2010, over 15 million tonnes of Western Australian sustainable-accredited canola has been exported to the European biofuels market.
ISCC sustainability certifications
Our ISCC sustainability certification also covers barley, wheat, lupins and oats through the ISCC PLUS accreditation. There are multiple advantages for CBH to participate in the ISCC PLUS program - we have a high audit success rate, growers are familiar with the system, and there is international recognition of ISCC as a global benchmarked sustainability accreditation system. If growers are already participating in the ISCC EU program, they are automatically certified for ISCC PLUS for their other commodities.
Looking into the future, we see demand for sustainable products only increasing, and so we are very motivated to identify and develop new market opportunities for WA grain to ensure the long-term success of Western Australian farming.
