Waitrose said it would do its utmost to help stop deforestation and clearance in the Amazon and in other vital ecosystems. “We are working tirelessly with our suppliers, the wider industry, government, and NGOs to ensure we source soya sustainably,” said a spokesperson. “Alongside this, we’ve been working on innovative animal nutrition for many years, and will continue with our longstanding research on sustainable soya alternatives.” The company said it has already reduced the use of soya in many supply chains and substituted it completely in its dairy farms with domestically produced fodder.
The Co-op’s head of food policy, Cathryn Higgs, described the new legislation as a fresh threat to the Amazon and the credibility of environmental protections in Brazil.

The G7 club of wealthy nations on Friday agreed to end state financing of coal-fired power plants by the end of this year, and to “mostly decarbonize” electricity supplies in the 2030s.
Ahead of a leaders’ meeting in the UK next month, G7 countries’ climate and environment ministers also reaffirmed their commitment to keep temperature rise below 1.5°C by 2050, following a two-day virtual meeting.
