Abstract: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices have become critical for the agricultural sector, particularly for high-impact and sensitive consumer demand industries like sugarcane. In Australia, the sugarcane industry faces mounting environmental and regulatory pressures, including concerns over nutrient and pesticide runoff affecting the Great Barrier Reef, climate change-driven, water resource challenges, and the need to reduce carbon emissions.
