Rainforest Policy
Globally, BKC has committed to purchase beef from suppliers that source only beef that has been
raised in environmentally responsible ways. As a result, none of our beef comes from recently
deforested tropical rainforests.
BKC has strict policies to ensure that our rainforest guidelines are followed. All beef raw material
suppliers to the BKC system are individually audited for approval. All of those suppliers are expected
to follow our Rainforest Guarantee, which prevents them from selling any beef to BKC from cattle
that grazed on land recently designated as a rainforest. The beef suppliers that supply finished beef
products to the BKC system may only purchase beef raw materials from those plants that BKC has
approved. The beef from our suppliers is required to have country of origin identification and come
from sources previously approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and BKC.
