JBS understands that its corporate social responsibility should be exercised in every aspect, especially in communities where it operates and with a focus on the health and safety of its team members.
JBS has a major social impact on the regions in which it operates. Facilities are mostly located in areas that lie far away from major urban centers, where the Company naturally has a bigger economic and social influence. Among other things, this means that the Company has the chance to play a role in developing the local community. Through which its production units provide people without specific educational backgrounds with access to differential professional education, in a fast and effective process of inclusion.
The Company’s approach is based on community development actions and donations that allow it to positively impact the places where JBS team members live and work, therefore benefiting the community where it is located. Along these same lines, JBS supports initiatives geared toward educating and developing children and young people, through professional training for young people and adults and training and social inclusion of people with disabilities As with other areas, each business platform has the autonomy to establish their own programs in this area – through sponsorships, team member volunteering activities and direct investments.
