Assessing facility-level risks in commodity supply chains: A supply shed analysis of Brazilian slaughterhouses
Facility-level risk assessment is increasingly important to assess and report on environmental and social sourcing risks in voluntary and regulatory frameworks, both due to widespread gaps and limitations in farm-level traceability at-scale, and to help enable more collective action around shared sourcing risks. This is especially the case for the Brazilian cattle sector where large amounts of cattle-driven deforestation are not traceable in today's supply chains and suppliers exist in highly interconnected networks that are shared by multiple slaughterhouses. However, there is limited comprehensive, high-quality open data on agricultural commodity facilities (e.g. slaughterhouses) or best-practice guidance and standardised methods to estimate facility supply sheds and associated risks.
