Jbs

JBS, a food products company headquartered in Brazil, reported its latest Scope 1 emissions for 2025 as approximately 3.86 billion kg CO2e. For 2024, Scope 1 emissions were about 3.68 billion kg CO2e. In 2023, JBS's Scope 1 emissions stood at approximately 3.59 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 2 (location-based) emissions at about 1.54 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back to 2022, JBS reported Scope 1 emissions of roughly 3.76 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of approximately 1.45 billion kg CO2e, and a significant Scope 3 total of about 182.34 billion kg CO2e. Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions included purchased goods and services (around 159.58 billion kg CO2e), downstream transportation and distribution (approximately 6.31 billion kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (roughly 6.18 billion kg CO2e).

JBS has committed to several climate targets, including achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 across its operations and value chain. This ambition was set in 2021. The company also aims to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2030, using a 2019 baseline. This absolute reduction target is supported by a commitment to reduce global Scope 1 and 2 emission intensity by at least 30% by 2030, also against a 2019 baseline. Notably, JBS's commitment to net-zero is recognised by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), although its near-term target status is listed as "Commitment removed".
