JBS USA recently became the first beef company to achieve recognition across the cow-calf, feedyard and processing segments of the supply chain for alignment to the U.S. Beef Industry Sustainability Framework. The Framework is an industry-adopted resource that outlines key areas of sustainability and opportunities for improvement across the beef value chain. It is comprised of high-priority indicators, sector specific metrics and sustainability assessment guides.
The recognition applies to JBS USA’s nine beef production facilities in Cactus, Tex., Grand Island, Neb., Greeley, Colo., Green Bay, Wis., Hyrum, Utah, Omaha, Neb., Plainwell, Mich., Souderton, Penn. and Tolleson, Ariz. This achievement is further testament of JBS USA’s commitment to continuous improvement and complements the company’s existing, robust sustainability initiatives across the cow-calf, feedyard and beef production facilities across its value chain.
