-- The blockchain platform will guarantee the security and confidentiality of 
the cattle producers' data; 

-- The investment fund created by the company will promote the socioeconomic 
development and conservation of the Biome

With the aim of increasingly sustainable production, JBS is announcing the 
Together For the Amazon program, a set of initiatives that seeks to enhance 
conservation and development of the Amazon Biome, engaging the industry and 
proposing actions that go beyond its value chain. The program encompasses 
climate change, which was allocated priority within the JBS global 
sustainability targets presented in 2019.

The fundamental pillars of the Together for the Amazon program are: (i) 
development of the value chain; (ii) forest conservation and restoration; (iii) 
support for the communities; and (iv) scientific and technological development.

The first pillar consists of the JBS Green Platform, a ground-breaking 
initiative that will cross-check information of the Company's direct suppliers 
with livestock transportation data from preceding links in the supply chain. By 
using blockchain technology, the company will guarantee the confidentiality and 
security of the personal, commercial and sanitary information of the producers, 
as well as transparency in the analyses of the suppliers.

The Company will also launch engagement campaigns so that, by the end of 2025, 
its suppliers' suppliers are also on the JBS Green Platform. In addition, JBS 
will provide legal, environmental and animal husbandry advisory to assist 
producers with improvements in stewardship and the environmental regularization 
of their properties, while also expanding its educational actions in 
sustainability to its supply chain.

For over a decade, JBS has been monitoring 100% of its cattle supplying farms 
using strict sustainability criteria, including zero tolerance of 
deforestation, encroachment on protected areas like indigenous lands or 
environmental conservation units, hard labor, or the use of areas embargoed by 
Ibama. This daily analysis covers more than 50,000 properties in the Amazon 
region, an area greater than the size of Germany.

"We are publicly reiterating our commitment to the sustainability of the 
Amazon. We hope to scale up, not only in combatting deforestation, but also in 
fostering the bio-economy, sustainable agriculture and social development", 
says Gilberto Tomazoni, Global CEO of JBS.

JBS Fund for the Amazon
The other three pillars will be achieved through the JBS Fund For The Amazon, 
created to finance initiatives for expanding forest conservation, promoting 
sustainable development of the local communities, as well as scientific and 
technological development, with a contribution of R$ 250 million over the first 
five years. With the participation of other stakeholders, the target is to 
reach R$ 1 billion by 2030.

The Fund will be headed up by Joanita Maestri Karoleski, former CEO of Seara, 
with the support of a Board of Directors, a Fiscal Council, a Consultative 
Council and a Technical Committee. The latter two will assist in choosing the 
projects that will receive contributions, audited by KPMG. The entire process 
will be reported, and the results published on the program site.
