Since 2009, JBS S.A. has been reporting its figures to the CDP (Driving Sustainable Economies), the largest global platform for corporate climate change strategies and actions. Today, this platform is consulted by 822 financial managers who jointly administer over $95 trillion in assets worldwide.

Within the CDP, the companies involved in the Climate Change, Water, Supply Chain and Forestry modules.

In 2015, JBS significantly improved its performance. In the Disclosure category, the company achieved 96 points on a scale of 0 to 100, up 13% on 2014. In the Performance category, it rose from a C to a B ranking.

"JBS's performance has been improving since 2011, when the CDP began publishing company results. And we intend to continue improving. The evolution in our 2015 results is evidence of the company's commitments to fighting back against climate change", said Marcio Nappo, JBS sustainability director.

In addition to the CDP, JBS is also listed on the BM&F/Bovespa's Efficient Carbon Index (ICO2) and is a member of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program, an initiative to support the creation and disclosure of corporate Greenhouse Gas inventories.
