Message from the PresidentAt JBS Canada, we hold the responsibility of being a respected and trusted food company in Canada as our highest priority. We provide our customers with unmatched quality and service by consistently investing in our people and operations. As such, we will continue to challenge ourselves to be relentless in our pursuit of excellence in order to earn and maintain customer and consumer trust.

The responsibility to provide food that is produced in a safe, sustainable and humane manner falls on each one of our team members who follow that duty without compromise every day. In doing so, we maintain a zero-tolerance mindset when it comes to the safety of our people, for the food we produce and the animals we care for. Moreover, we follow aggressive standards and regulations regarding the sustainable, ethical stewardship of the resources in our care including our cattle, land, water and energy. With oversight in the design and delivery of our brands and programs in terms of selection, production, care and control, and overall customer service experience, we are continually improving our operations, systems and processes to reach important targets in energy and water use reduction, as well as improving the care of our valued animals and natural resources.

Our JBS Canada Advantage starts with our team members who take accountability and responsibility for their work and the integrity of the food they produce. This is what provides our business with the most compelling point of differentiation and allows us to exceed expectations from a foundation of preserving premium quality, consistency and hand-crafted excellence.

Our Process

Operational ExcellenceThe key to our success is that we have a team willing to continuously learn, make changes and drive continuous improvement. Through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) our entire team understands their value and takes accountability for their decisions and actions related to unmatched quality and service. This gives each individual Supervisor and Manager ownership for their department and it creates transparency across the organization.

With an engaged, accountable team, we’ve adopted an aggressive and innovative approach to food safety. Our belief is that food safety is the responsibility of each individual. It begins with education about hazards and continues with the diligence of each team member to take accountability for the food they produce.

While we deliver quality, great tasting products that consumers can trust, we are conscious that we are the stewards of our natural environment, therefore there is no element of our business that is not touched by sustainability. We work to continuously improve our operations by setting aggressive internal targets to reduce water and energy use, to improve animal welfare, and to ensure team member health and safety.

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Program (HACCP)All federally inspected meat establishments in Canada require a complete food safety system called HACCP. At JBS Canada, we ensure the safety of our products through the effective implementation of our approved HACCP system. A HACCP system includes prerequisite programs, HACCP plans, validation, and documentation of control measures that have an immediate impact on food safety as well as maintenance and reassessment procedures.

We’re Leaders in the Industry Not only do our team members have an ingrained passion for food safety, our exceptional practices have been confirmed by external auditors and industry partners, recognizing our facility as a leader within the industry.

S.A.F.E. – Slaughter Actions for Excellence – awarded for outstanding commitment and execution of food safety systems.

BRC Audit – We consistently achieve the highest possible grade in the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety audit, confirming the company’s commitment and competence in HACCP, hygiene, food safety and quality systems throughout the entire value chain. The BRC audit assesses every aspect of the business to validate product safety, integrity, legality and quality.

Our Process

Food SafetyFood Safety is Our Top Priority

At JBS Canada, we have an unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety of the food we produce. Our food safety systems and protocols meet, and in many cases, exceed requirements set out by the Canadian government and its leading agencies, making us a leader in the industry.

All JBS programs are verified by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) via the Compliance Verification System (CVS).

The CVS is an efficient, uniform approach to verify compliance with regulations in Canada and with regulations specific to our export partners.

Prerequisite programs describe suitable conditions and activities necessary to maintain a hygienic environment and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).

HACCP programs are written, approved plans to control hazards with specific processes and/or products.

We have developed a systematic measurement tool to identify and analyze potential risks prior to them becoming hazards; and defined mandatory, effective means of their control.

Through extensive training and auditing, we maintain effective protocols to reduce foreign objects.

As part of the HACCP, our Quality Assurance team samples ground beef regularly to ensure food safety.

JBS Canada

Destination 2020We define sustainability as responsibly meeting the needs of today, while improving the ability of future generations to responsibly meet their own needs.

We have committed to continually invest in our people, our systems and processes and the infra-structure of our facility. We have set aggressive targets in the areas of sustainability that involve improving the short and long-term performance of our business by balancing the three traditional pillars of sustainability: economic viability, social responsibility and environmental stewardship.

Our Commitment• We will remain informed and share global best practices to the benefit of Canada, our valued

employees and the communities in which they reside. • We will always embrace and take leadership in being ethical stewards of entrusted resources —

2020 Sustainability TargetsJBS conducted a Corporate Materiality Analysis (CMA) that identified key areas that our outside stakeholders perceive as most important to measuring the company’s sustainability performance. We analyzed data from 2013 to 2015 in each target area, which allowed us to develop comprehensive, data-informed goals and an implementation plan that would achieve measurable improvement in each key target area by the year 2020.

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHTIn the anaerobic lagoons, bacteria convert the organic material to methane. This is a very viable fuel, therefore JBS is committed to developing eco-friendly and sustainable techniques to utilize it. Some of the projects that JBS plans to complete in the future include:

TRAP AND FLARE – By covering the anaerobic lagoons, we will trap the biogas and flare it, which will reduce our GHG footprint by up to 65%.

COGENERATION UNIT – The Cogeneration unit will be fueled by natural gas to produce electricity and steam. Eventually we will supplement a portion of the fuel supply with methane from the anaerobic lagoons.

A series of flow meters measure water usage in each production area. This information is collected at the end of every shift and relayed to the area supervisor who is accountable as part of their KPIs. Regular water audits identify inefficiencies, such as a leaking faucet, and the findings are reported weekly. Nozzle restrictors on all hoses maintain pressure while ensuring decreased water use.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY2020 GHGS GOALReduce GHGs by 5%

We have invested in reducing GHG emissions and have maintained compliance with provincial and federal regulations.

2020 ELECTRICITY GOALReduce electricity usage per head by 4%

Regular preventative maintenance is performed to ensure equipment is running at its highest efficiency. Energy-efficient LED light bulbs are used in all areas of the facility and team members are expected to shut down equipment when not in use.

2020 NATURAL GAS GOALReduce natural gas usage per head by 5%

To reduce the consumption of natural gas in our boilers we have reduced waste heat, installed technology that allows us to recycle heat, and taken measures to keep cooling air away from the boiler furnace.
