The Company has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to participate in the Responsible Commodities Facility (RCF) Soy Traceability Project, a pilot initiative designed to demonstrate the feasibility of implementing end-to-end traceability for soybean meal across the full value chain using a Mass Balance approach. The project tracks soybean meal from sustainably cultivated, deforestation-free farms in Brazil—supported through green financing—through to livestock producers, and ultimately to meat products sold in retail outlets in the United Kingdom.

FoodChain ID, an independent third-party organization, is responsible for data collection and verification, confirming traceability and compliance across participating supply chain entities. The pilot involves collaboration with leading global partners, including LDC, Bunge, Caramuru, Tesco, Pilgrim’s, Sainsbury’s, and Waitrose, among others.
