The Marfrig Group, a leading global food company producing beef, pork, poultry and fish products, has become the world's first food company in the animal protein segment to track its entire beef production cycle in accordance with the standards developed by the Rainforest Alliance, a U.S.-based organization created 25 years ago that was one of the first to create forest-protection protocols.
The Tangara da Serra Marfrig Group Unit located in the State of Mato Grosso is authorized to produce and market its products internationally bearing this "green cattle raising seal". Tangara da Serra is the only meat processing unit in the world to meet the Certification's 136 social and environmental criteria, which range from reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, the implementation of animal welfare practices to the social conditions of employees and their families.
