- In 2021, JBS became the first of its peers to commit to cutting or offsetting all emissions by 2040 and ending illegal deforestation by cattle suppliers by 2025.
- Nearly four years later, Jason Weller, JBS’s global chief sustainability officer, characterized the goal as merely an aspiration, while JBS said in writing that its climate ambitions had not changed.
- Environmental activists calculated that 97% of JBS emissions came from deforestation, biodiversity loss and pollution, but JBS called the calculation flawed and excludes land-use-change emissions from its indirect supply-chain reporting.
- In October, Brazil’s environmental protection agency fined ranches and meatpackers, including JBS, for raising or buying cattle on illegally deforested Amazon land.
It was never a promise that JBS was going to make this happen.— Jason Weller, global chief sustainability officer at JBS, in a Reuters interview
