The scope of JBS’s 2040 net-zero pledge is unclear and may omit major sources of emissions related to live animal operations and deforestation. In its sustainability report, the company states that it does not track enteric and manure emissions from live animal operations and only reports on enteric fermentation from animals on its own feedlots and farms, omitting feedlots and farms that JBS does not own but are part of its supply chain. In addition, the company does not report on deforestation emissions resulting from its operations. JBS’s entire emissions footprint is estimated at 280MtCO2e; yet the company reports less than 3% of this.
