Initiatives

25 June 2025
At BMG Foods, sustainability is not just a topic — it's a pillar of our business model. That’s why we’ve partnered with eu reciclo , reinforcing our commitment to the circular economy, responsible waste management, and supporting the recycling chain in Brazil. Through this partnership, we now offset 100% of the packaging we place on the market. This means that for every package sold, an equivalent amount will be recycled by compensating cooperatives, waste collectors, and sorting centers. This initiative creates a direct impact not only on the environment but also on the lives of thousands of recycling workers across the country. Adopting the eu reciclo seal is more than a certification — it’s a step toward a more conscious, transparent, and collaborative consumption model. How this initiative contributes to our ecosystem: Promoting recycling: We strengthen the sector by supporting better infrastructure and efficiency in the solid waste chain; Social development: We value the work of environmental agents, who play a key role in transforming the recycling landscape; Responsible consumption: We foster more sustainable connections with consumers, suppliers, and partners. We continue to move forward toward a cleaner, fairer, and more sustainable future. Because taking care of the planet is also part of our business.

Initiatives demonstrating BMG Foods' commitment to ensuring a sustainable and responsible meat supply chain, respecting the environment and human rights. Geographic Monitoring We use the SMGeo Direto tool to monitor the activities of direct suppliers across all biomes where we operate, including the Amazon and Cerrado. Since the system's implementation in 2021, approximately 3,510 properties and 6 million hectares have been geographically monitored. Zero Deforestation Commitment We have launched a Zero Deforestation commitment in the supply chain, ensuring the responsible sourcing of meat and leather. Currently, over 600 properties and 400,000 hectares are monitored to prevent illegal deforestation. Social Aspects Our purchasing and supplier evaluation policies require all suppliers to provide a work environment free from discrimination and to respect human rights. This includes the prohibition of degrading, illegal, slave, and child labor practices. Training and Monitoring We conduct ongoing team training and alignment between the Sustainability and Purchasing departments to ensure supplier compliance and their inclusion in the supply chain.

Eco-efficiency initiatives helped prevent the release of 4,500 tons of CO2e into the atmosphere. Natural Resource We have implemented measures to improve operational efficiency and foster innovation in the use of natural resources. Sustainable timber is used for thermal energy generation, and we actively promote the recycling of plastic and cardboard materials. Water and Effluent Management Regular studies are conducted to assess the exposure of operations to water risks, and corrective measures are in place to ensure water quality and maintain food safety. Energy Our entire logistics fleet is equipped for the use of Arla 32, an additive that reduces atmospheric pollutant emissions. Additionally, we promote energy efficiency and educate teams on best sustainability practices.
