Jason Weller, Global Chief Sustainability Officer, recently appeared on The Green Hour Podcast to discuss how JBS makes meaningful change in a network spanning thousands of farms. Jason acknowledged the challenges and opportunities in working to help our producer partners improve the sustainability of their operations: “It’s not just sharing the ambition – it’s sharing the hard economics and connecting (local farmers and ranchers) to technical assistance to start them on their journey. Our approach to supporting our producers' business needs while prioritizing our responsibilities to the planet is just one way that JBS is staying ahead of the climate curve.” Listen to the full podcast episode here: https://lnkd.in/g88hzhUD #sustainability #supplychain
