AN INDUSTRY THAT IS
SUSTAINABLE BY NATURE
The Brazilian poultry and pork industries have some essential allies
that make their chains naturally sustainable.
The wide availability of water and land added to a favorable climate
are some of them! These natural resources provide the appropriate
supply of agricultural inputs and generate a lower demand for energy
consumption in production systems, in addition to enabling good animal
health and welfare conditions.
In this context, ABPA was one of the
few entities to be awarded the "Partner
Association of the More Integrity Seal
2021/2022"-a prize organized by the
Ministry of Agriculture to encourage sectoral
transparency, acknowledging integrity
practices aimed at social responsibility,
environmental sustainability, and ethics. Three
ABPA member companies were also awarded
with the More Integrity Seal!
The partnership spurred by the Producer-Industry Integration System,
widely prevalent in the sector, also significantly impacts social sustainability,
by promoting a stable flow of income to small farmers with a noticeable
influence on their quality of life. The social and economic development of the
producing regions where our agroindustries are located bears witness to the
markedly social role of the Brazilian poultry and pork industries.
The Brazilian environmental legislative framework, which is very strict, ensures
control over the use of natural resources and the proper preservation of
nature, without hindering the production of affordable foodstuffs, thereby
being a key element of sustainable development.
On the private side, the corporate approach to dealing with natural resources
and managing their environmental impact is increasingly relevant to society
at large. Therefore, transparency and compliance are crucial points for the
reputation and reliability of Brazilian poultry, egg, and pork agribusinesses,
which are increasingly incorporating sustainability into their business
strategies.
