Platform will allow company to have a view of the socio-environmental compliance of its suppliers.
Apr 29, 2021
JBS S.A. announced this week that it has begun registering suppliers on the Transparent Livestock Farming Platform, an essential phase of a project that will advance monitoring the cattle production supply chain in the Amazon Biome. The tool, equipped with blockchain technology to ensure the security and confidentiality of the data, will make it possible to extend to the suppliers of the suppliers of cattle the socio-environmental monitoring that the company already applies to its direct suppliers.
By signing up voluntarily to the Platform, producers who negotiate animals directly with JBS, will inform the list of their suppliers of animals on the platform, which has been developed by the specialized company Ecotrace. This information is then sent electronically for validation to Agri Trace Rastreabilidade Animal, a system of the Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock Farming (CNA), which checks whether the list of suppliers is complete.
