"In 2010, JBS implemented a system that monitors and verifies conditions on all supplier properties to ensure that all animal purchases comply with the Company’s social and environmental criteria. Every day, JBS analyzes more than 90,000 cattle suppliers in Brazil using satellite imagery, farm geo-referencing data and information from government agencies. The JBS monitoring system analyzes satellite imagery of supplier farms that covers around 450 thousand km2 (111 million acres) in over 400 municipalities in the Amazon region. This is equivalent to an area the size of Spain."

The company does not have access to Animal Transit Forms (GTA) for its indirect suppliers - the forms are only available to and used by the government."

The Company’s entire cattle procurement and supplier monitoring system are independently audited every year and the audit results are available from the JBS website. These independent audits have shown that in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 more than 99.9% of JBS cattle purchases from farms in the Amazon region comply with the Company’s social and environmental criteria." In 2019, DNV-GL, a well-known international auditor company from Norway that also provides social and environmental consultancy and certification, reported that 100% of JBS 2018 cattle purchases in the Amazon region were socially and environmentally compliant.

"To make sure that suppliers are complying with these standards, there is a System for Social and Environmental Monitoring of Cattle Suppliers that works on geospatial analysis based on satellite images, farms georeferenced maps and deforestation data from the National Space Research Institute for –INPE, which cover the whole direct operations. To ensure compliance with the JBS’s commitments, an independent party annually audits the System. According to the results of the independent audit since 2014 the level of understanding is greater than 99%."

"In the pork and poultry value chain, Seara Alimentos only purchases soybean meal fromcompanies that have signed up to the Soy Moratorium in the Amazon Biome, to ensureits products provide no support for Amazon deforestation."

"The company only purchases soy from suppliers that signed the Soy Moratorium. Thus, 100% of JBS soy suppliers, in Brazil, are incompliance with Soy Moratorium criteria. In 2017, the company restructured its Compliance department. The area now has a Global Director, responsible for the implementation and supervision of initiatives in all regions of JBS. To that end, a new organizational structure was defined with the hiring of more resources to ensure that business practices ensure ethics and good conduct for all, as well as compliance with all internal laws, policies and procedures. One of the pillars of action is Due Diligence. In October 2017, JBS began to improve the practices of third party reputational assessment (Due Diligence). Once performed manually for a few risk segments, the Company hired expert advice on the subject to automate the process as much as possible, with the expectation of increasing the volume of analysis. Currently, the segments mapped with relevant risks are analyzed, including any third party that needs a proxy to act on behalf of JBS. The Due Diligence procedure was integrated into the third-party registration process. Thus, at the time of registration, the third parties listed in risk categories will be automatically evaluated by a software, being released or disapproved if negative reputational aspects are identified."

"The company has a few business units that produce hygiene and cleaning products with Palm Oil imported from Malaysia and Indonesia and its suppliers are part of Round Table of Sustainable Palm Oil – RSPO [...] Additionally, in partnership with Espaço ECO Foundation (BASF), JBS completed a life cycle analysis study palm oil-based soaps. The study analysed the environmental, social and economic performance of soap of animal and vegetal origin. As a result, the study allowed JBS to make an inventory of processes,to know the main environmental and social impacts of the productive chain and to identify opportunities for improvement,with a focus on continuous improvement. Palm Oil is also used in the food industry, in the frying process of prefabricated foods and industrialized products. In this case, 100% of Palm Oil is produced in Brazil, following sustainable production certification standards."
