Pressure grows on Brazil to scrap deforestation bill
Leading European poultry firms threaten to boycott Brazilian agricultural commodities if Brazil’s Congress passes a bill leading to more deforestation.
Moy Park and Cranswick plc have joined supermarkets such as Tesco, Marks and Spencer, Aldi, and the Co-op, as well as investors such as Norway’s largest pension company KLP, in signing an open letter on the protection of the Amazon rain forest. Similar legislation was withdrawn in May 2020 after a boycott threat from many of the same companies.
