Today, we released our 2023 Sustainability Report. JBS is striving to set the food industry standard for profitable and sustainable food production. This means improving the sustainable performance and resiliency of not only the company’s own operations but also contributing to the enhanced sustainability of the greater food production system as a whole. Jason Weller, Global Chief Sustainability Officer stated, “We invest time, expertise, and resources into creating a better future and a more resilient food system in key areas such as economic viability, environmental quality, global food security, affordable food choices and improved quality of life for people doing the work.” A few highlights from our report include: -The company has invested more than $150 million across hundreds of projects in our own facilities to reduce Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, resulting in a 17 percent decrease in intensity since 2019. -More than $5 million in partnership projects have been approved to further the company’s Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategy throughout the value chain. -In Brazil, we have driven groundbreaking initiatives to enhance transparency and traceability in the livestock supply chain, such as the Transparent Livestock Farming Platform. -In the U.K., investments have been made in climate-smart facility upgrades and an off-grid poultry farm of the future. -In the U.S., we have established multiple methane-to-renewable-energy conversion initiatives.
