Brazil's JBS was hit with a U.S. lawsuit on October 28, 2025, filed by advocacy group Mighty Earth, accusing the meatpacker of making false climate claims. This legal challenge comes ahead of global climate talks scheduled to take place in Brazil in November.
The lawsuit alleges that JBS's public statements and targets regarding its climate impact are misleading. Such legal actions can lead to significant financial penalties, injunctions, and reputational damage, affecting investor confidence and consumer perception.
This development places JBS under increased scrutiny regarding its environmental commitments and corporate transparency. The company will need to vigorously defend its climate targets and demonstrate the veracity of its sustainability initiatives in court.
