JBS’s suppliers are using chemicals similar to Agent Orange, poisoning the
soil, water, and wildlife in the Pantanal, endangering human health and
biodiversity in this unique environment.

And now investors are raising serious concerns about the company's lack of
environmental accountability, threats to Indigenous community, and
unsustainable business practices.

JBS needs to change, and we can force that change NOW:

John,

JBS, the largest meat producer in the world, has long been linked to
serious environmental destruction and human rights abuses across Brazil.

JBS's suppliers are using chemicals similar to the deadly Agent Orange,
poisoning the soil, water, and wildlife in the Pantanal ecoregion,
endangering human health and biodiversity in this unique and fragile
ecosystem.

On top of this chemical pollution, JBS is also illegally deforesting
massive areas of precious forest and savanna – destroying endangered
animals' habitats and Indigenous communities' traditional lands.

As JBS seeks to expand its empire through Wall Street listing, investors
are raising the alarm about the company's reckless environmental
destruction, lack of accountability, threats to Indigenous communities,
and unsustainable business practices... NOW's the best time to demand
change:

[ [link removed] ]Tell JBS: STOP the destruction – clean up your supply chain NOW.

JBS destroys the Amazon to produce pasture for cattle – much of which
feeds directly into JBS's own supply chain. This illegal activity
threatens fragile ecosystems, accelerates climate chaos, and harms
Indigenous communities.

A recent report exposed JBS for failing to prevent sourcing from suppliers
involved in illegal deforestation and encroachment on Indigenous lands.
JBS violates both Brazilian law and global standards for environmental
stewardship and human rights.

In the face of the climate crisis, it is unacceptable for a giant like JBS
to ignore the destruction in its supply chain. By implementing a
transparent traceability system that identifies and excludes suppliers
involved in deforestation, land grabbing, and other illegal activities,
JBS can lead the industry toward a more sustainable and just future.

As the largest meat processor in the world, JBS has the responsibility and
power to protect communities, ecosystems, and the climate. All it needs to
take meaningful action is a massive global movement demanding it – join
the call:

[ [link removed] ]Tell JBS: STOP the destruction – clean up and implement a traceability
system for your supply chain NOW.
