\"Report<\/a>Singapore, October 27, 2024 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ New Report Urges Action as Companies Fall Behind on 2025 Animal Welfare Pledge
\n50 companies report no or insufficient progress in implementing their commitments to stop using battery-cage eggs, reveals NGO study<\/p>\n

Sinergia Animal\u2019s latest Cage-Free Tracker report<\/a> reveals that many companies in Asia are unlikely to meet their commitments to eliminate the use of battery-cage eggs by 2025. The NGO surveyed 78 companies across India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand and found that 50 of them risk falling short of their pledges to stop using this controversial system, which is already banned in many countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cAsia is the world\u2019s largest egg producer. Millions of hens are confined in cages where they can\u2019t walk, spread their wings, or engage in natural behaviors. This is unacceptable,\u201d said Among Pakrosa, Director of Sinergia Animal in Indonesia. \u201cWe\u2019re calling on these companies to honor their promises to switch to cage-free systems by 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

Companies Falling Short: Red and Orange Flags<\/strong>
\nThe NGO categorizes companies into two groups:
\n\u25cf Red Flags: Companies with 2025 cage-free commitments but no reporting on their progress.
\n\u25cf Orange Flags: Companies that report progress elsewhere but not in Asia.
\nWell-known companies, including Au Bon Pain, Chatrium, Food Passion, Best Western, and Subway, fall into these categories. \u201cThere\u2019s still time for them to act, but the clock is ticking. We encourage consumers to hold these companies accountable,\u201d said Pakrosa.<\/p>\n

Positive Signs from Some Companies<\/strong>
\nOn a brighter note, 34.61% (27 out of 78 companies) of the companies analyzed have shared their progress in Asian countries, and 2 companies fully transitioned to cage-free eggs in Asia or nationally within Asia. Well-known brands, including Baan Ying Family, Kalpapruek, Lemon Farm, and Groupe Le Duff, lead the way in Thailand or Asia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis growing transparency shows a positive trend toward better animal welfare and increased consumer trust,\u201d added Pakrosa.<\/p>\n

Producers Join the Cage-Free Movement<\/strong>
\nThe report also highlights progress among egg producers in Thailand and Indonesia. Out of 50 producers surveyed, 11 (22%) have already transitioned to 100% cage-free production.
\n\u201cThe data we gathered will help companies connect with producers to meet their cage-free goals,\u201d explained Pakrosa. Companies struggling to source cage-free eggs can purchase credits from the Impact Incentive system by Global Food Partners\u2014a temporary solution already used by major companies like Compass Group and Unilever.<\/p>\n

Cage-Free Momentum Grows in Asia<\/strong>
\nAsia, which produces 64% of the world\u2019s eggs, is gradually shifting away from cages. Bhutan, China, Indonesia, and Thailand have already implemented cage-free standards, and over 2,600 companies worldwide, including 318 in Asia, have committed to going cage-free.
