UK PARLIAMENTARIANS EXPRESS GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT WORLD'S BIGGEST MEAT PRODUCER JBS AND ITS PLANS TO ACCESS AMERICAN CAPITAL

Wednesday, January 10, 2024

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ban the Batistas today commented on the letter to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler from a cross-party group of United Kingdom Parliamentarians, led by Lord Goldsmith, expressing their concerns about the Initial Public Offering (IPO) proposed by JBS S.A., allowing the world's biggest meat producer access to capital via the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The elected representatives from the UK House of Commons, who also are committed to global environmental sustainability and slowing climate change, urged the SEC to use its position to reject the JBS IPO application.

Key Points: 
  • The letter is yet further evidence that the international community is monitoring JBS and its intended IPO, and US leadership on climate issues is increasingly under question.
  • Given what we know about JBS, an IPO should be out of the question.
  • At the COP28 United Nations Climate Change Conference in November, JBS attempted to greenwash its harmful climate and environmental impact record.
  • Today, ten British MPs sent a letter to the SEC highlighting their concerns about JBS," said Ban the Batistas Executive Director Kimberly Spell.
