CMA has released two new resources to help guide the industry toward a more sustainable and low-carbon future — reinforcing our commitment to supporting responsible business practices across the entire complementary medicines sector.

The newly launched CMA Guide to Decarbonisation and Supplier ESG Questionnaire offer members practical tools to strengthen their environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance. They are designed to help manufacturers, sponsors, and suppliers embed sustainability principles into day-to-day operations and prepare for the growing expectations of consumers, regulators and global supply chains.

As climate disclosure requirements tighten globally and responsible sourcing becomes a competitive imperative, these resources will assist members in navigating the transition to net zero while building long-term resilience.

Whether it’s improving supply chain transparency, tracking emissions, or demonstrating climate leadership, CMA is proud to support our members at every step.

“The complementary medicines industry has a deep reliance on the natural environment to ensure high quality, efficacious products. The provenance of ingredients used across our industry spans a broad geographic range but all share a vulnerability to climate impacts,” says CMA CEO John O’Doherty.

“We need to mobilise change with greater urgency and to progress credibly, knowing that we can go further and faster by working together.”

These initiatives reflect CMA’s broader strategy to future-proof the industry and champion Australian complementary medicines on the global stage — not only as high-quality, evidence-based products, but also as products backed by responsible, forward-thinking organisations.

“Those across our industry who have already committed to ambitious targets have unlocked opportunities for value creation, have delivered business efficiencies and have a clearer view of how to deliver a resilient supply chain and taken steps to understand the climate nature nexus,” says O’Doherty.

Both resources are available exclusively to CMA members. Click here to access via the member portal.
