JBS SCORECARD – FAILED
Introduction
Brazil’s advance as the world’s largest meat exporter 1
has taken its toll on the Amazon rainforest. The expansion
of cattle ranching in the Amazon region is currently the
biggest driver of deforestation in the country and largely
responsible for the place it occupies among the top
five emitters of greenhouse gases in the world2. Of the
766,000 or more square kilometres of Amazonian jungle
that has been lost over the past 40 years3, 62%4 has been
converted to pastureland for cattle.
In 2009, Greenpeace exposed how the cattle industry
was involved in deforestation, invasion of protected and
indigenous lands, land disputes and slave labour.5 The
report also showed how products derived from cattle
raised in the Amazon were making their way into food,
shoes, furniture and cars across the world.
Following strong reaction from both international and
domestic consumers of Brazilian beef and leather, the
four largest beef and leather companies in the country
at the time – JBS /Friboi, Bertin 6, Minerva and Marfrig –
signed a public agreement in October 2009 committing
to minimum criteria for industry practice. These included
provisions that would cease the purchase of cattle from
ranches that had recently deforested or ranches that are
located in indigenous lands or within protected areas, or
involved with slave labour 7.
Nearly three years later, progress in implementing the
agreement has been unacceptably slow. In particular, JBS
– the world’s largest market player – is failing to prevent
cattle from deforested land or illegal activities from
entering its supply chain, in stark contrast to its claims
to the contrary8. This scorecard matches the conditions
of the Cattle Agreement with JBS ’s own statements
and Greenpeace Brazil field research over the past 18
months and JBS fails on every count. For instance, the
Cattle Agreement was signed with a six-month timeframe
in which to stop the purchase of cattle derived from new
(i.e. post 2009) areas of deforestation. This was largely
based on the successful implementation of a similar
agreement with the soya industry9. However, JBS says
now its objective is to "guarantee our clients and society
at large that we source all our livestock from suppliers
that have not been involved in illegal deforestation"10
This statement reduces JBS ’s commitment to such an
extent that now it does little more than merely follow
Brazilian law, something it should be doing already. This
means there is no action currently being taken by JBS to
eliminate deforestation from its supply chain, despite its
commitment to do so [see table 1 no. 1].
Monitoring is also an area of great concern with JBS . In
order to understand what a cattle rancher is doing on their
farm and whether they are involved in deforestation, the
boundaries and ownership of that farm must be known. It
was a fundamental cornerstone of the Cattle Agreement
that these farm boundaries would be registered so that
farms involved in new deforestation or illegalities would
be removed from the supply chain and such efforts could
be monitored, verified and reported [see table 1 clause
5]. Until now, JBS has required just one GPS reference
from its farmers. But this is insufficient to determine
whether the supplier is involved in deforestation, since it
does not provide boundary information. If deforestation
has occurred, it is impossible to know if it is inside or
outside the farm in question.
Moreover, in researching JBS’s business practices,
Greenpeace has found, once again, numerous new
cases of JBS purchasing cattle directly and indirectly
from farms involved in illegal deforestation, invasion
of protected areas and indigenous lands, and also of
farms using slave labour. Greenpeace can show that this
contaminated beef is still entering the supply chain of
major companies in the EU and Brazil.
Consumers buying cattle products from JBS cannot
be sure that these products have not contributed to
deforestation. For this reason, Greenpeace is calling on
responsible companies not to buy cattle products from
JBS until they have demonstrated compliance with the
Cattle Agreement in a transparent and auditable manner.

JBS SCOR
WHAT JBS SIGNED
PASS/FAIL
CURRENT STATUS
1. ZERO DEFORESTATION IN
THE SUPPLY CHAIN:
JBS has failed to do even the bare minimum to ensure that deforestation does not
enter its supply chain.
no new deforestation for cattle
ranching will be accepted after
4 October 2009.
• Illegal deforestation:
DIRECT SUPPLY
FAILED
• Absence of effort against all deforestation:
To be implemented by 4 April
2010, subsequently extended
until 4 October 2010
CLAUSE 1.b. INDIRECT SUPPLY
To be implemented by October
2011
Greenpeace has found that JBS purchased animals from 3 farms11 accused of illegal
deforestation by the federal environmental agency, IBAMA, (see figure 1 and table 2)
between June and December 2011. This continues the trend of illegal purchases that
was exposed by Greenpeace12 in Mato Grosso between January and May 2011.
JBS is only communicating to other companies and the public on the issue of illegal
deforestation. In March 2012, JBS told their clients that its objective is to ‘source all
our livestock from suppliers that have not been involved in illegal deforestation’ 13
FAILED
JBS is not monitoring its indirect suppliers. Table 3 and figure 2 demonstrate how
the web of indirect supply leads back to JBS . Clause 1.b. in the agreement sought
to close this precise loophole – where farms are essentially ‘laundering’ their dirty
supply via a third party which then sells produce on to JBS .
Indirect supply was never reassessed or renegotiated
CLAUSE 1.c.
REASSESSMENT OF
INDIRECT SUPPLY TIMELINE
FAILED
CLAUSE 1.d. RESTITUTION
FAILED
JBS has not made any claim or provided evidence to show compliance with this
commitment.
FAILED
Every time Greenpeace investigates, JBS is caught buying cattle from farms inside
indigenous land. In fact, research from Greenpeace shows that the purchase of
cattle reared illegally in indigenous lands is ingrained within the JBS supply chain.
Between June and September 2011, JBS purchased hundreds of animals from farms14
located within the limits of the Marãiwatsede indigenous land (table 4 and figure 3).
CLAUSE 2. REJECTION OF INVASION OF
INDIGENOUS LANDS AND
PROTECTED AREAS
For direct supply the deadline was extended by an additional six months. One and
a half years after the extension deadline, commitments remain unfulfilled.
In early 2011, the JBS unit in Tucuma, Para purchased animals from Pantera farm15
located within the Apyterewa indigenous land16.
CLAUSE 3. REJECTION OF SLAVERY WORK
FAILED
CLAUSE 4. REJECTION OF
LAND GRABBING AND LAND
CONFLICTS
FAILED
CLAUSE 5. A MONITORABLE,
VERIFIABLE AND
REPORTABLE TRACKING
SYSTEM
JBS is indirectly purchasing animals from farms accused of slave labour (figure 4).
Greenpeace has already exposed a case of direct supply to JBS from a farm
involved in slave labour in February last year 17.
JBS has not made any claim or provided evidence to show compliance with this
commitment.
JBS claims to have conducted third party audits but has not so far made any audit
reports available for analysis. Neither is any information that can be monitored,
verified and reported available on their systems, as required by the agreement:
FAILED
a. JBS has not provided the geo-referenced polygons for the boundaries of all of
its supply farms. In recent communications18, JBS refers only to the single GPS
coordinate from each supplier in its monitoring system. Ensuring farms did not
deforest after 2009 requires all boundary information so that cleared areas can be
compared over time. One coordinate gives no certainty that JBS knows what its
suppliers are doing with their forested land.
b. JBS has not presented evidence that all its suppliers are registered with the
relevant state environmental secretaries. When registered, data on farm boundaries
and ownership are available online, which enables a transparent monitoring system.
CLAUSE 6. IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN
COMMITMENTS
FAILED
JBS has not worked collaboratively with other companies, and left the group set up
to work on the Cattle Agreement at the end of 2009. Instead, they hired their own
consultancy company, Apoio, to implement the Cattle Agreement commitments.

Modern day slavery
© Greenpeace / Daniel Beltra
Since 2004, the Ministry of Labor and Employment has made information public on all farms that have been found to
have workers living in situations akin to slavery. By the end of December 2011, 294 farms were on its website19 and
an estimated 7,736 people were released by the government’s Mobile Task Force against Slavery20. Most of these
people were working in cattle farms in the Amazon, cutting trees, burning forests and seeding pasture21. These
workers were bonded to the farms through debts and forced to live in very poor conditions without proper food, water
and sanitation22. The threat of violence and the presence of gunmen prevented them from being able to leave 23.

Brazil remains one of the countries with the highest
rate of forest loss globally. Although deforestation
rates have been dropping, Brazil lost 6,238 km2 24 of
Amazon forest in 2011 alone. Furthermore, there is a
concerted effort by vested interests within the Brazilian
government to weaken environmental legislation. In May
2012, president Dilma approved a new Forest Code 25,
the key law that should protect forests, including the
Amazon. The project approved by the president with a
few vetoes weakens this protection and offers numerous
possibilities for “legal” new deforestation which was not
possible with the previous code. Other initiatives include
reducing protected areas26, weakening the powers of
environmental enforcers and approving new infrastructure
projects in the Amazon27. These efforts have the potential
to vastly increase deforestation rates in the future.
On top of this, the Brazilian government plays a big role
in the cattle industry. Through the Brazilian National
Development Bank (BNDES), the financial arm of the
Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign
Trade, the government has invested in JBS helping turn
it into the largest beef and leather supplier in the world 28.
After a US$2 billion injection into JBS stocks in June of
last year, BNDES now controls 31.4%29 of the company.
Such an investment makes the Brazilian government
JBS’s partner in deforestation. Furthermore, by
not ensuring legal compliance as a precondition to
investment, the government is not only undermining
the role of its own environmental enforcers but is also a
key stakeholder in a company operating with impunity
and a company which buys cattle raised in violation of
Brazilian laws.

Following research conducted over the past 18 months,
Greenpeace can prove that beef from farms involved in
the invasion of indigenous lands and illegal deforestation
is still present in the supply chain of JBS slaughterhouses
that provide produce to supermarkets and wholesalers in
Europe and Brazil.
Through a combination of field research, document
analysis, export data analysis and product information,
Greenpeace can construct a chain of custody from the
field to the marketplace. Such an analysis shows how
problem farms sell their livestock to slaughterhouses and
the processed products arrive on shop shelves all over
the world. This is one example of such an analysis that
reveals the gravity of the situation. During 2011, cattle
from 10 farms located inside Marãiwatsede indigenous
land, and two farms accused of illegal deforestation by
the federal environmental agency IBAMA, (totaling 640
animals), were sold to JBS ’s slaughtering facility in Barra
do Garças30. From here, the company transfers the beef
to its processing units located hundreds of kilometres
away in Presidente Epitácio, Lins and Barretos31, all in
the state of Sao Paulo. In these units, beef is processed,
cooked and mixed, then conserved in cans, which are
transported overseas and sold in Europe. All of these
cans display a SIF (reference number) that enables
traceability back to the processing facility.
In the UK, cans from this tainted chain of custody are
branded and sold by supermarkets such as Tesco32. In
the Netherlands the Dutch supermarkets Jumbo, and
Boni sell cans with the same tainted chain of custody
under the brand Impala33 and the wholesaler Makro
Netherlands (owned by the Metro Group34) under the
Hereford brand (figure 5). JBS was a direct supplier

ket:
From the Ama zon to the mar
the meat on our shelves
for corned beef to the Dutch wholesaler = Sligro Food
Group but communicated to Greenpeace that they cut
their contracts with JBS since the beginning of this year.
In the past three years, the total value of imports of
canned beef from Brazil to the United Kingdom place it
as the largest importer, with a total of US$ 346 million
(78,800 tonnes), accounting for almost 30% of the total
exported. The Netherlands is the third largest importer
of canned beef from Brazil – in the 2009-2011 period it
purchased canned beef to the value of US$100 million
(19,800 tonnes)35.
Greenpeace found that the JBS unit, Barra do Garças,
also sells fresh beef directly to Pão de Açucar, Wallmart36
and Makro37 (owned by the SHV Group38), supermarkets
chains in Brazil. Pão de Açúcar is controlled by the French
group, Casino39.
In the Netherlands and UK, fresh and frozen beef from
JBS /Friboi can be found in wholesalers such as Makro40
(owned by the Metro Group41) and Sligro Food Group42.
JBS trades Brazilian beef to Belgian importers Van Aerde43
and JBS -Toledo, based in Ghent, is a subsidiary of JBS 44
Without a transparent third party audit to prove
compliance with the Cattle Agreement, JBS cannot
guarantee to its buyers in Europe and Brazil that its beef
is deforestation-free.
Marãiwatsede Indigenous Lands
The plight of the Xavante people has been highlighted in previous Greenpeace publications revealing how they are
forced to live on only 20% of the 165,000 hectares reserved for them45 while the rest is controlled by large illegal
farms, mostly raising livestock. The Xavantes can no longer fish because the rivers have run dry or are contaminated46
due to the destruction of forests, landfills invading river systems in an effort to expand pastoral areas, plus extensive
use of agrochemicals. Now 85% of the forest has been cut down47 and the Xavante people’s reports to the authorities
describe substantial conflict with farmers accused of attempted murder and destruction of property48 49 50.
Throughout last year, JBS purchased cattle raised illegally in Xavante land (Table 4) 51.

Demands
For JBS :
• The 2009 Cattle Agreement (The Minimum Criteria for
Cattle Operations in the Amazon Biome) should be fully
implemented by JBS in a manner that can be monitored,
verified and reported. This includes contracting a
reputable and efficient third party to monitor methodology
and conduct transparent audits.
• Commercial relationships with farms exposed in this
publication must be immediately terminated by JBS and
other signatory Brazilian beef and leather producers
until reparations as per the Cattle Agreement have
been made.
For President Dilma and the
Brazilian Government:
• Do not allow the further weakening of environmental
laws or the reduction of environmental regulatory powers.
For companies who buy from JBS
• A time-bound commitment to making your supply
chain deforestation-free.
• Stop purchasing products supplied by JBS until such
time as JBS can guarantee in a monitored, verifiable
and reportable fashion its implementation of the Cattle
Agreement.
• Demand that other Brazilian suppliers also adhere to
the Cattle Agreement in a manner that can be monitored,
verified and reported. This includes contracting a
reputable and efficient third party to monitor methodology
and conduct transparent audits.
• Show your support for the call of Brazilian citizens for
a Zero Deforestation law.
© Greenpeace / Rodrigo Baleia
• Use the Brazilian Government’s investment in JBS to
demand changes to their operating systems and ensure
that, at the very least, JBS is adhering to labour and
environmental legislation.

• Support the call of Brazilian citizens for a Zero
Deforestation law.

We campaign to protect the world’s remaining ancient forests
and the plants, animals and peoples that depend on them.
We investigate, expose and confront the trade in products
causing forest destruction and climate change.
We challenge governments and industry to end their role in
forest destruction and climate change.
