            "In order to guarantee responsible purchases, AMAGGI has Socio-Environmental Criteria to evaluate its grain suppliers. These are minimum sustainability principles to be met and establish the following veto criteria: IBAMA embargoed areas due to deforestation, areas located in indigenous and conservation lands, areas deforested after 2008 in the Amazonian biome (soybean moratorium), producers or companies that are on the slave labor black list. It is important to reinforce that 100% of the supply chain must meet these criteria." In 2018, AMAGGI's soy usage was certified by AMAGGI Responsible Standard (415,000 tonnes), RTRS (236,000 tonnes), and ProTerra standard (1.1m tonnes).
