New York Sues World's Top Meat Packer JBS Over Climate Impact
JBS
New York state is suing JBS SA over allegations the world's biggest meat-packer misled "the public about its environmental impact."
New York Attorney General Letitia James said the meat producer has failed to provide a viable plan to meet a widely-advertised commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2024 and that it could not feasibly meet such a goal, according to a filing. The company "has made several misleading claims about its environmental impact, including pledges to curb deforestation and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions," a statement from the attorney general's office said.
