JBS N V, published its 2025 Sustainability Report, the details execution against the company’s strategy to deliver profitable and sustainable food production for a growing planet. The report, structured around its three strategic pillars — Maintain Excellence, Drive Progress, and Build Resilience — includes disclosures intended to support decision-useful information for investors on key topics such as workforce health and safety, operational emissions and energy, water, responsible sourcing, and supply chain transparency.
Key highlights include: Capital investment: Since 2020, the company has invested nearly US$200 million across projects inside its facilities intended to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Sustainability-linked financing performance: The company reported achieving interim KPI targets referenced in the company and Pilgrim's Sustainability-Linked Bond Frameworks, including reported reductions in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity of 18.8% and 24.4%, respectively. Water and waste reduction initiatives: The company reduced total water consumption by 9.7% from 2024 to 2025. The company increased recycling of waste produced in operations by 9.2% from 2024 to 2025 and reduced waste sent to landfill by 25.8% from 2024 to 2025. Renewable energy adoption: In 2025, renewables accounted for 31.3% of its global energy use. People and product integrity: The company reported 18.2 million training hours delivered globally and 78.9% of global facilities certified under Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) schemes.
The company has introduced a more focused sustainability reporting framework better aligned to the company’s global supply chain and opportunities to deliver measurable, near- and long-term impact. It is evolving its broader, long-term ambitions by prioritising specific, time-bound operational targets supported by clear baselines, rigorous internal controls, and annual third-party assurance.
Jason Weller, global chief sustainability officer of JBS, said, “Our successful execution against our sustainability goals directly translates to the growth, risk mitigation, and long-term value that JBS can deliver for our customers, partners, teams, and shareholders. The evolution of our reporting framework sharpens our focus on actions we can directly manage, measure, and report with confidence, while continuing to engage across the value chain on shared challenges that affect our industry.”
