RE: Meat and dairy industry commitments and actions to address methane emissions

The Changing Markets Foundation and partner organizations write to Marfrig to highlight the company's lack of concrete methane reduction targets and to request specific data on investments in abatement technologies and meat alternatives.

• An analysis of 20 major meat and dairy companies found that none report methane emissions separately and none have concrete targets or action plans to reduce methane emissions in their operations and supply chains.
• Marfrig received a score of 11.2 out of 100 in the 'Blindspot' report ranking, indicating a lack of action toward reducing methane emissions and a failure to set specific commitments or report methane-specific emissions.
• While Marfrig has invested in protein alternatives and technical methane abatement research, it does not disclose the percentage of revenue these investments represent and lacks explicit support for transitioning to low-carbon food systems that include reducing meat and dairy production.
