ClientEarth has filed a complaint with the US National Contact Point (NCP) of the OECD against Cargill, arguing that the company's due diligence processes violate OECD Guidelines. The complaint focuses on Cargill's soy supply chain in Brazil, specifically alleging failures to monitor deforestation in the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest, a lack of traceability for indirectly sourced soy, and a failure to address indirect land-use change. Additionally, the complaint highlights risks of human rights violations against Indigenous peoples and quilombolas. ClientEarth is seeking the full disclosure of Cargill's due diligence policies and the implementation of more effective procedures aligned with OECD-FAO and UN guidance.
