CERRADO PROTOCOL – 2nd Webinar – Implementation

This webinar, held on 25 February 2026 and organised under the Cerrado Protocol by Proforest and Imaflora, with support from AL-INVEST Verde/Global Gateway, featured Carrefour and Minerva Foods—companies already adopting the Cerrado Protocol—sharing their experiences in monitoring cattle suppliers in the biome. They brought practical insights, challenges faced, and opportunities identified throughout implementation.

It was an excellent opportunity to exchange experiences and strengthen actions towards more responsible supply chains in the Cerrado.

LAUNCH OF THE CERRADO PROTOCOL, SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL

Launched in April 2024, the Cerrado Protocol lists 11 criteria and creates a common basis for socio-environmental compliance that guides meatpackers, acting as a guide for responsible production and purchasing.

In development since 2020, the Protocol is the result of a coordinated effort by the organisations Proforest, the Institute for Forest and Agricultural Management and Certification (Imaflora) and the National Wildlife Federation (NWF). It also had direct contributions from WWF Brazil, meatpackers and purchasing companies, as well as the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office, livestock sector organisations and civil society.
