Deforestation
In 2023, our Moy Park and Pilgrim’s UK businesses will refile near- and long-term GHG emissions reduction targets with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for revalidation according to the organization’s Forests, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) Science-Based Targets Setting Guidance, released in September 2022. Complementarily, Pilgrim’s Food Masters will also submit new SBTi targets for validation. Under FLAG Guidance, these targets will include commitments to no deforestation across the businesses’ primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 31, 2025.
In addition, Moy Park, Pilgrim’s UK, and Pilgrim’s Food Masters have existing commitments to ensure deforestation and conversion free soy (soya) across their targeted supply chains by 2025. To achieve this, we have implemented the following strategies:
Moy Park has implemented a Responsible Sourcing Plan, which outlines that raw materials must be sourced in accordance with the following requirements:
Raw materials will be sourced only from bona fide sources and in compliance with existing local land and forest use laws.
No deforestation of primary forest or areas of high conservation value.
No burning to clear land for new developments or to re-plant existing developments.
Compliance with the criteria set out in Group’s Supplier Requirements Manual
Pilgrim’s UK has conducted a series of trials to support the reformulation of its pigs’ diets and source practical alternatives to soy where possible. EU and UK grown alternative proteins are used across all of Pilgrim’s UK’s diet formulations as part of extensive R&D programs.
Finally, we are members of the UK Round Table for Sustainable Soya and the Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS), signatories of the UK Soy Manifesto and Cerrado Manifesto Statement, supporters of the Amazon Soy Moratorium, and founding partners of the Soy Transparency Coalition. We also work closely with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and advisory groups to educate and inform policy makers across the globe.
Given current North American sourcing practices, deforestation is not of concern to our Pilgrim’s U.S. and Pilgrim’s Mexico operations.
