Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were reported at around 151,531,147,000 kg CO2e, highlighting the significant impact of their supply chain and product use. Over the past few years, JBSJBS has shown a trend of decreasing emissions in Scope 1 and Scope 2.

Similarly, Scope 2 emissions have also seen a reduction from about 1,816,020,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to approximately 1,548,742,000 kg CO2e in 2023. Despite these reductions, JBSJBS has not publicly committed to specific science-based targets or reduction initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates within a challenging industry context, where emissions from agricultural and livestock production are significant contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. Overall, while JBSJBS has made strides in reducing its direct emissions, the lack of formalised climate commitments may impact its long-term sustainability goals.
