from family dream
to sustainable leadership

PARALLEL SESSION

Speakers: Brook Family

Date and time: Friday 23 May 2025, 12:15pm - 1:00pm

SESSION OVERVIEW

Sustainability has become a critical priority for organisations across all sectors—not only for environmental stewardship but also for long-term business success. Family businesses have a natural advantage in this regard, with strong values embedded in their practices and strategies, positioning them to lead the way in sustainability and inspire other businesses to follow suit.

A prime example of this leadership is Brookfarm. What began as a family dream to move to the country and a passion for quality, healthy food led Pam and Martin Brook to transform a rundown dairy farm in the Byron Bay hinterland into a thriving macadamia farm, all while regenerating an ancient subtropical rainforest.

Brookfarm is a multigenerational Australian family business dedicated to regenerative agriculture, embracing sustainable practices, supporting local farmers, and creating all-natural, nutritious breakfasts and snacks for the entire family—while making a meaningful impact on both the environment and the local community.

Hear from the Brook family, as they share their inspiring family business story, highlighting their approach to business, their ethos, and the remarkable outcomes that can be achieved when you commit to both product quality and sustainability.
