JBS Canada’s beef facility in Brooks is now a certified sustainable beef processor, after successfully completing a third-party audit under standards set by the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef.

“We have set some very aggressive targets in our own 2020 Sustainability plan, and with a lot of hard work, we have met or exceeded our goals,” said David Colwell, president of JBS Canada. “We now invite retail, food-service and-service entities considering a beef sustainability claim for their products to look to JBS Canada in supporting their sustainable sourcing goals.”

Certification requires meeting specific requirements on animal health and welfare, use of natural resources, efficiencies, and other factors.
