LAUNCH OF THE CERRADO PROTOCOL, SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL
Launched in April 2024, the Cerrado Protocol lists 11 criteria and creates a common basis for socio-environmental compliance that guides meatpackers, acting as a guide for responsible production and purchasing.
In development since 2020, the Protocol is the result of a coordinated effort by the organisations Proforest, the Institute for Forest and Agricultural Management and Certification (Imaflora) and the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). It also had direct contributions from WWF Brazil, meatpackers and purchasing companies, as well as the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, livestock sector organisations and civil society.
