AMPC and AMIC have developed the Red Meat Processing Industry Climate Change Strategy which is designed to place the industry on a pathway towards a sustainable future and minimise the impacts of climate change and policy measures such as the Carbon Pricing Mechanism (CPM). This will be achieved first and foremost through effective research, policy, communication and extension activities in the next 3-5 years. The Strategy will provide the ability to collaborate with Government in order to benchmark change over time from implementation of emissions abatement technology, as well as evaluate improvements and communicate impacts from both a private and public good perspective.

The environmental management capabilities of personnel in the red meat processing industry will be an important factor contributing to the transition to a low carbon economy. To deliver the training and professional development requirements, AMPC has in place a service agreement with the National Meat Industry Training Advisory Council (MINTRAC).
