In 2021, JBS launched its commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2040. In the statement, the company declared it to be the industry’s most ambitious sustainability commitment to combat climate change. Among its strategies is the goal of reducing scope 1 and 2 emissions by at least 30% compared to 2019 levels, along with the compensation of “residual” emissions. Since then, however, these commitments have been questioned due to a lack of clear parameters and concrete plans for reducing emissions, considering that the company did commit to address the fundamental source of its emissions: meat production.
