Validating for true governance
Despite the surge in ESG investment in recent years, a lack of third-party verification of data remains. Farrelly & Mitchell are primely positioned to address the growing concern and scepticism among some investors surrounding the validity of ESG impact claims in food and agriculture.
Our highly experienced sustainability, ESG auditing and agribusiness due diligence consultants have the expertise to perform a deep dive into the environmental sustainability and social governance practices of an organisation, using global benchmarks and standards to substantiate data and impact claims.

Efficient supply chains are a key driver of F&A sustainability
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed a number of risks and logistical challenges associated with long and complex supply chains.
On the other hand, striving for complete self-sufficiency can be counterproductive with limited environmental benefits due to inherent local challenges (such as access to water for agricultural production).
At Farrelly & Mitchell, we believe that a balance in supply chain complexity must be reached to optimise efficiencies and minimise carbon impact.
