JBS is the world’s biggest meat packing company and single biggest supplier of beef, chicken and leather globally, with 350,000 customers in more than 150 countries. JBS has been repeatedly linked to suppliers found to be engaging in illegal deforestation in the region and operating illegally on protected Indigenous lands.

In July 2020, Amnesty International, with Réporter Brasil, revealed that cattle illegally grazed in protected areas of the Amazon state of Rondonia had entered the JBS supply chain. Fires and deforestation continue to take place on properties in JBS’ supply chain despite the company’s policies and international commitments.

JBS’ inability to control its Brazilian beef supply chains is responsible for deforestation in the Amazon and the loss of lands belonging to indigenous people. We will hold JBS accountable.

Netzdemo Portal will launch an online protest in support of #AmazonCeaseFire against JBS meat industries on September 18th, 2020, starting at 08:00 CEST
