In the report, “MONITORING THE BEEF TAC: systematization and analysis of the results from the first unified cycle of audits”, we set out the main results of the most recent audit cycle in all key Amazon ranching states, highlighting some aspects that should be improved in the next rounds. In the case of Pará, we present a more detailed analysis with a comparison of the results of the five audit cycles already carried out, in order to assess the evolution of the companies’ performance in implementing the commitment.
