World Animal Protection, along with a diverse coalition of partners, will continue the vital work of exposing JBS as one of the most destructive, cruel, and unethical multinational corporations operating today. This company - and the family that controls it - has amassed a litany of convictions, fines, and scandals for bribery, corruption, price-fixing, human rights abuses, deforestation, and animal cruelty. Its emissions rival those of entire nations and have consistently increased in recent years despite statements of net-zero goals. It has consistently exploited countries and its own consumers by shifting its profits to tax havens. Its moral failure as a company doesn’t just put people, animals, and the planet at risk - it jeopardizes the one thing it cares about the most: convincing investors to keep risking their money in its business. Don’t be fooled.
