Meat giant JBS silently ditches bolder environmental targets in latest review

JBS, the world’s largest meatpacking company, has dropped ambitious environmental goals, including its "Net Zero by 2040" initiative and zero deforestation targets, in its latest sustainability report. This move comes as a significant setback for global efforts to combat climate change and protect rainforests. With these targets scaled back, the company’s influence on industry practices and environmental policies could lead to a less aggressive approach to sustainability across the meatpacking sector. This shift underscores the challenges businesses face in balancing profitability with environmental responsibility.
