Performance Principles. Subject to clause 2.6, SRAL must at all times act in accordance with and uphold this Agreement, including the Guidelines and the Performance Principles under clause 10.2. The Performance Principles are: to engage stakeholders to identify RD&E priorities and activities that provide benefits to the Industry; to ensure RD&E priorities and activities are strategic, collaborative and targeted to improve profitability, productivity, competitiveness and preparedness for future opportunities and challenges through a Balanced Portfolio; to undertake strategic and sustained cross-industry and cross sectoral collaboration that addresses shared challenges and draws on experience from other sectors; for governance arrangements and practices to fulfil legislative requirements and align with contemporary Australian best practice for open, transparent and proper use and management of Funds; and to demonstrate positive outcomes and delivery of RD&E benefits to Levy Payers and the Australian community in general, and show continuous improvement in governance and administrative efficiency. If, at any time, SRAL identifies an inconsistency or discrepancy between the Performance Principles and its obligations under any law, regulation or government policy, it must: notify the Commonwealth of the nature of the inconsistency or discrepancy, as soon as reasonably practicable; continue at all times to act in accordance with the Performance Principles (to the extent this is consistent with applicable law, regulation or government policy); and if requested by the Commonwealth, discuss possible resolutions to deal with the identified discrepancy and implement any such resolutions as may be agreed. Review of Performance SRAL must implement appropriate processes, on an ongoing basis during each Financial Year, to: monitor and evaluate its performance against the Performance Principles; and demonstrate its performance against the Performance Principles to Levy Payers and other stakeholders (demonstrations could include updates by newsletter, meetings, website, email or annual report). The Commonwealth may review SRAL’s performance and compliance with the Act, this Agreement, and the Guidelines at any time during the term of this Agreement.

Performance Principles. Stakeholder Engagement APL engages with stakeholders to identify research, development and extension (RD&E) priorities and activities that provide benefits to industry. This engagement includes stakeholder consultation which supports opportunities for levy payers, industry and government to contribute to setting and delivering RD&E priorities and activities. APL recognises that the significant contribution of levy payers and the taxpayers provided to APL through Australian Government matched funding creates an obligation for APL to undertake reciprocal and transparent engagement with levy payers and industry about our key objectives, performance, activities, investments, and governance. Therefore, to support effective achievement of valuable stakeholder engagement outcomes, APL has developed a Best Practise Guide to Stakeholder Engagement. The Best Practise Guide to Stakeholder Engagement includes principles of being transparent, considered and fit-for-purpose. APL acknowledges that there are competing interests across the Australian pork industry which must be balanced for the benefit of the Australian pork industry as a whole. Outcome Key Performance Indicators Approach Engage stakeholders to identify research, development and extension (RD&E) priorities and activities that provide benefits to portfolio industries Strategy prioritisation and development processes include appropriate consultation plans, based on the Best practice guide to stakeholder consultation. When developing the current APL Strategic Plan (2020-25), APL consulted with: • the Commonwealth, • Levy Payers, • Industry Representative Bodies, • other RDCs as appropriate, and • various value chain stakeholders. The Board reviews the strategic objectives and key priorities annually. The review is supported by learnings from continuous engagement and consultation with various stakeholders including supply chain partners, Policy reference groups and State pork organisations. Producers in particular are encouraged to continually submit research ideas via the ‘always open system’. The review of strategic objectives is also informed by intelligence and recommendations. In addition to the annual review of the Strategic plan objectives and key priorities, the Board also reviews and approves an annual plan, a forecast in December and again in March. These three annual touch points are planned opportunities for Management and the Board to discuss new RD&E opportunities and if appropriate, re- priorit...
