Highest Scores
Table 5 below presents the performance of the leading beef companies regarding the Deforestation Commitment Score in the Cerrado, considering direct suppliers, indirect suppliers, and the overall score. It is observed that, although companies demonstrate good performance in supply chain control over direct suppliers, there is a major deficiency in the monitoring of indirect suppliers, with very low scores. As a result, overall scores remain low, highlighting that progress is still limited and that the control of indirect suppliers is the main challenge for demonstrating the effectiveness of socio-environmental policies in the cattle supply chain.
