About This Report | JBS USA | Sustainability Report

The goal of our 2020 Sustainability Report is to provide a transparent account of our sustainability management approach and performance. This report has been prepared in accordance with GRI Standards: Core option. This year’s report also includes disclosures from the Meat, Poultry and Dairy sector as outlined by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB).

In 2015, JBS USA conducted a corporate materiality assessment, and this report is based on the most relevant sustainability issues that were identified in that analysis. The five areas we prioritized from that assessment are: Animal Welfare, Energy and Climate Change, Product Integrity, Team Member Health and Safety and Water. This report also focuses on additional material issues, including emissions, recycling, waste, human resources, the communities in which we operate and our relationships with our suppliers.

This JBS USA Sustainability Report is inclusive of all of our facilities in Australia, Canada, England, France, Mexico, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, New Zealand, Puerto Rico and the United States. The report describes our activities and performance from our own operations and information on our supply chain whenever possible for the calendar year 2020. All subsidiaries and wholly-owned companies are included in the reporting scope.

We welcome your comments and feedback at sustainability@jbssa.com.
