Environmental groups are calling on JBS SA’s investors and customers to drop the world’s largest meat supplier, claiming its greenhouse gas emissions are rising.
The Sao Paulo-based company’s emissions increased by 51% over the past five years along with a sharp increase in the number of animals it slaughtered, according to estimates from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP) released Thursday along with Mighty Earth -- both of which describe themselves as nonprofit organizations.
