CARREFOUR NOUS ENFUME… TOUJOURS!

Mighty Earth's October 2022 investigation reveals that Carrefour continued to sell beef from suspended JBS slaughterhouses in Brazil, particularly through its Atacadão and Sam's Club stores. Despite public claims of suspending suppliers in Rondônia, the group's supply chain remains heavily dependent on JBS, with 27% of identified beef products coming from ten slaughterhouses linked to recent deforestation. The report also highlights illegal fires at the Fazenda Rondon property supplying JBS and criticizes Carrefour's 2026 strategy as lacking ambition and transparency regarding both beef and soy sourcing.

• An October 2022 investigation of ten Carrefour stores in Brazil found that the group continued to sell beef products from slaughterhouses it had publicly announced as suspended due to deforestation in indigenous territories.
• Ten JBS slaughterhouses associated with recent deforestation cases provided 27% of the beef products identified in Mighty Earth's store survey.
• Carrefour's dependence on JBS is significant, with two-thirds of the beef products sold by the group in Brazil originating from JBS, exceeding JBS's own overall market share in Brazil.
• The Atacadão brand, which represents 72% of Carrefour's sales in Brazil in 2022, is a primary channel for products from the Amazon, with 56% of sampled JBS products in these stores originating from the Amazon region.
• Evidence shows JBS purchased cattle from Fazenda Rondon in Mato Grosso while the property was losing primary forest; specifically, it lost 630 hectares between February and July 2021 and another 369 hectares by the end of that year.
• Carrefour's 2026 strategy is criticized for being unambitious, as it allows beef-related deforestation to continue for eight more years and provides no solid information on the Cerrado biome.
• Transparency regarding soy sourcing is limited to Carrefour-branded animal products sold only in France, omitting volumes, specific silos, or the municipalities of origin.
