Compliance Checker Company Profile: JBS

⚡ Our sustainability risk profile on the world’s largest meatpacker, JBS, is here!

This is part of a series of reports on companies that produce, trade, and buy key commodities, done by Coffee Watch and AidEnvironment. 🌳

🔍 This sustainability risk profile analyses JBS’s links to forest-risk commodities in the scope of the EU regulation on deforestation-free products (EUDR). The analysis maps JBS’s cattle sourcing areas, its link to deforestation hotspots, and the location of assets and infrastructure (slaughterhouses, tanneries) linked to the company’s commodities’ imports into the European market.

🔔 A key element of the report is the demonstration of 7 ‼️ potentially noncompliant case studies on cattle farms linked to JBS, that might be noncompliant with the EUDR if the beef or leather from these cleared farm plots would enter the EU market from January 2026. The report’s case studies (5 beef, 2 leather) have been shared with JBS for further engagement and the company’s response has been integrated into the report.

📊 AidEnvironment’s upcoming Compliance Checker, an interactive dashboard, will feature this and similar other case studies.
