Biosecurity in the Boardroom
Biosecurity in the Boardroom is an initiative aimed at raising awareness and driving engagement across the corporate sector to place biosecurity on their agenda.
This initiative is designed to start an important conversation with the corporate sector on how they can play a role in actively managing potential biosecurity risks. Leading these discussions at the highest level in the boardrooms, will provide the opportunity for these organisations to take a leadership role in not only raising awareness, but integrating better practice biosecurity measures in their companies.
About Biosecurity in the Boardroom
Biosecurity risks are forecast to grow fourfold in the coming decade, underscoring the need for proactive management across every sector. The initiative recognises these are whole-of-economy and community risks, which can disrupt supply chains, damage reputations, inflate costs, and cause business closures if left unmanaged.
The Queensland Farmers’ Federation (QFF), in partnership with Biosecurity Queensland, launched Biosecurity in the Boardroom to highlight the growing risks biosecurity incursions pose to businesses across all sectors of the Queensland economy, not just agriculture.
Biosecurity in the Boardroom provides resources and conversation starters tailored for senior executives, leaders, decision makers, and company boards. These materials prompt businesses to consider how biosecurity fits into their risk registers, corporate culture, investment decisions, compliance frameworks, and reputation management.
