JBS has pushed for several years to have its stock traded in New York and received significant pushback. Mighty Earth, an environmental group, said Friday that activists and political pressure had long kept the meat processor from making an initial public offering in the U.S.“Giving JBS access to billions of dollars of new funding will serve only to supercharge deforestation and its climate-wrecking operations,” Mighty Earth CEO Glenn Hurowitz said in a statement. “Listing on the NYSE is meant to be a signal to investors that a company is serious about transparency, but JBS has shown its only playbook is hiding the true scale of its destruction, climate emissions and human rights abuses.”

A message seeking comment was left Friday with the NYSE.Glass Lewis, an influential independent investor advisory firm, was also among those recommending that shareholders reject the plan.In its report, Glass Lewis said the recent return of brothers Joesley and

to the JBS board should concern investors. The brothers, who are the sons of JBS’ founder, were briefly jailed in Brazil in 2017 on bribery and corruption charges.“In our view, the involvement of the company and of Joesley and Wesley Batista in multiple high-profile scandals has tarnished the company’s reputation, undermining stakeholder trust and posing a significant risk to its competitive position,” Glass Lewis said.

Glass Lewis also objected to the company’s plan for dual share classes, which would give the Batistas and other controlling shareholders more voting power.

In its response to Glass Lewis’ report, JBS said it has established more stringent controls and anti-corruption training at the company in recent years. It also said a U.S. listing would ensure more oversight from U.S. authorities.ALEJANDRO: Puerto Rico is in every part of the books, in history. We’re in every part of the world. You mentioned hip-hop, Puerto Ricans were involved in that as well. But before that, you see a salsa world

New York in the ‘70s was a lot of jazz, soul. It’s just a lot of music from New York and Puerto Ricans have always been there. Reggaeton comes from Carolina, Puerto Rico. It’s the birthplace. It’s special. I feel really proud to be a Puerto Rican.In this new era, I went to New York and found great inspiration for my music but kept my essence. I keep the island at the forefront of everything that I do. I’m thinking about what it means to be Puerto Rican, our culture.

ALEJANDRO: Of course, definitely. Salsa was a world that I had yet to explore. When I’m doing new projects, I try to look back at what I’ve accomplished and what I have yet to do. I try to analyze my whole career and see what’s going to be next with Rauw, what’s going to be new; I take my time at the studio, at home, studying, analyzing.This project has a lot of salsa influence, a lot of African influence. I’m using the live instruments (for) the first time. Instruments traditional to Puerto Rico like the cuatro, puertorriqueño guitar, maraca, el guiro, la conga, all mixed with the digital sounds. And, you know, it sounds fresh. It sounds rich and perfect for dancing.
