The Brazilian JBS, the largest meat processor in the world, has set itself the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 2040 by 0. "We are aware that it is a very ambitious goal," said CEO Gilberto Tomazoni. "But, it's a great challenge for the entire company."
JBS produced approximately 2019 million tons of carbon dioxide in 4,6, including from their industrial buildings. In addition, the meat processor has emitted approximately 1,6 million tons of CO2 as a result of energy consumption within the organization. The supply chain is the biggest culprit. About 90% of the greenhouse gases are produced here. "For every tonne of meat we produce, about 40 to 45 tonnes of CO2 is currently released," claims Tomazoni.
Promises and ambitious goals
It just so happens that JBS is making the announcement just now. The company has recently come under fire for refusing to take action against forest clearing. Brazil's livestock and livestock farms are one of the largest in the world. And many of these companies are active in the clearing of the forests in the Amazon region. Several companies have reported boycotting the company if it does not take action.
The Brazilian meat processor JBS therefore reports that it will invest approximately $10 billion over the next 1 years in the development of innovations that should ensure that the CO2 emissions of the meat processing company decrease. It also wants 2040% of the energy used to be generated sustainably by 100.
It also listens to the critics. Action is being taken to organize replanting of trees and JBS has also promised to refuse livestock from companies that have cut forest from now on.
