Greenpeace releases a comprehensive crime file on JBS, the world's largest beef and leather company, with new evidence linking its business practices to deforestation in the Amazon.
In 2009, the biggest Brazilian slaughterhouses, including JBS, committed to ensuring that deforestation practices were eliminated from their supply chains. Nearly three years later, little has been done by the industry.
Greenpeace is calling on JBS to fully implement the minimum criteria of the Cattle Agreement and immediately end all relationships with farms that have proven links to Amazon destruction, invasion of protected and indigenous lands, land disputes and slave labour.
