The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) is seeking additional public input as part of a Verified Sustainable Beef Framework.

The CRSB conducted an initial consultation on sustainability indicators for the beef processing sector this summer. Based on the responses during that initial consultation, the indicators for beef processing have been refined.

“With guidance from a steering committee of diverse expertise, the CRSB has developed sustainability indicators for beef processing that supplement indicators for beef production”, said Cherie Copithorne-Barnes, Chair of the CRSB.  “I believe these indicators will provide the beef processing sector with the support to implement sustainable practices in their operations, and will assist the Canadian beef industry to meet consumer demand for programs that show our commitment to sustainable beef production.”

A 30-day public consultation was launched on October 5.

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef is a multi-stakeholder initiative developed to enhance sustainability efforts within the Canadian beef industry.
