JBS has developed a materiality matrix that prioritizes sustainability topics for the Company and its stakeholders. In 2019, these topics were revised and grouped into four new pillars that better represent the Company’s global challenges.
To create this new matrix, a series of interviews were held with Company leaders from around the world and select customers in Australia, Brazil, Canada, the United States and Europe over six months, based on the materiality process and studies that have been being carried out since 2014. Based on this consensus-building methodology, items in the JBS materiality matrix are given equal weight and no prioritized.
