JBS's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, JBS has not disclosed specific carbon emissions figures for the years 2019 and 2020, nor have they provided detailed information on their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Consequently, there are no absolute emissions numbers to report. In terms of climate commitments, JBS has not outlined any formal reduction targets or initiatives in the provided data. This lack of specific targets may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing climate change, particularly within the meat processing sector, which is often scrutinised for its environmental impact. Overall, while JBS operates in a sector that is increasingly under pressure to improve sustainability practices, the absence of disclosed emissions data and reduction commitments suggests a need for greater transparency and action in their climate strategy.
