São Paulo, June 27, 2022 – JBS was one of the award-winning companies at the 2022 Best in ESG awards of Exame magazine.

The magazine also highlighted how the Company has embraced the commitment to being Net Zero by 2040 and that it is going to invest US$ 1 billion by 2030 in emission-reduction projects, in addition to a 15% reduction in water consumption in its operations over the same period.

The award is considered to be one of the largest and most relevant sustainability awards by the Brazilian press. With the 2022 edition, this recognition became a joint initiative with Ibmec, one of Brazil’s leading business schools, adding additional weight to the triumph of JBS.
In the words of Gilberto Tomazoni, “the ESG journey is a long and challenging one, but this award shows that we are on the right path ”.
