\"Major<\/a>Bangkok, Thailand, July 19, 2025 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ Hotels across Asia are increasingly stepping up to meet global animal welfare standards, and ONYX Hospitality Group<\/strong> is the latest to join this growing movement. After dialogue with Sinergia Animal<\/strong>, an international animal protection NGO working in the Global South, ONYX Hospitality Group has committed to transitioning to cage-free eggs<\/strong> across its properties in Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This commitment applies to the group\u2019s flagship brands\u2014Amari<\/strong>, Oriental Residence<\/strong>, and OZO<\/strong>\u2014and marks a significant shift for Southeast Asia\u2019s hospitality industry. The transition will begin in Thailand in 2025, with ONYX Hospitality Group aiming to achieve 50% cage-free sourcing by 2026<\/strong> and reach 100% by 2027<\/strong> across all committed markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe see ONYX Hospitality Group\u2019s announcement as a milestone for Southeast Asia\u2019s hospitality sector. Cage-free is no longer a distant goal\u2014it\u2019s the baseline of what animal welfare should look like moving forward,\u201d<\/em> said Saneekan Rosamontri<\/strong>, Managing Director at Sinergia Animal Thailand.<\/p>\n

Hens in battery cage systems are typically confined to spaces smaller than an A4 sheet of paper<\/strong>, unable to fully stretch their wings, walk, or express natural behaviors. These extreme confinement conditions cause severe physical and psychological suffering to millions of animals each year.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on their social media platforms, ONYX Hospitality Group emphasized the importance of aligning ingredient sourcing with their values.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe every ingredient tells a story,\u201d the company stated. \u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re making a bold move, transitioning to cage-free eggs across all our properties.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Commitment Driven by Ethical Hospitality Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Sukamal Mondal<\/strong>, Vice President of Operations and Sustainability at ONYX Hospitality Group, the decision reflects the company\u2019s broader sustainability vision.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt ONYX Hospitality Group, our commitment to Sustainability Crafted Hospitality means aligning luxury experiences with ethical, responsible practices,\u201d<\/em> he said. \u201cOur transition to cage-free eggs is driven by a deep sense of responsibility \u2014 to advance animal welfare, meet the expectations of conscious travelers, and ensure that our sourcing practices support more humane and sustainable food systems. Cage-free eggs are more than an ingredient; they represent a step toward a compassionate future where hospitality choices create a positive impact.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

ONYX Hospitality Group hopes this step will catalyze broader change across the hospitality sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur cage-free commitment is more than an internal milestone \u2014 it\u2019s a message to the broader hospitality sector that ethical sourcing and animal welfare can, and should, be part of standard operations,\u201d Mondal added.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe also see collaboration\u2014not competition\u2014as key to accelerating impact,\u201d he continued. \u201cBy openly sharing our journey, the challenges we face, and the solutions we find, we hope to build momentum and contribute to a more compassionate, sustainable food system for all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A Broader Movement Toward Animal Welfare<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sinergia Animal has been working to raise public awareness about the cruelty of battery cages in Thailand since 2019<\/strong>.\u00a0 The organization combines public education with corporate engagement and uses tools like the Asia Cage-Free Tracker<\/strong> to promote transparency and ensure companies deliver on their promises.<\/p>\n

The cage-free movement is gaining strong momentum across Asia, with over 300 corporate commitments<\/strong> in the region, according to data from Chicken Watch<\/strong>, a global monitoring platform. With major food manufacturers, restaurant chains, and now hospitality leaders pledging to eliminate battery cages, ethical sourcing is no longer a niche\u2014it\u2019s fast becoming the new industry standard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cage-free movement is no longer just an option\u2014it\u2019s a global shift,\u201d<\/em> said Saneekan. \u201cWe invite all food and hospitality companies in Thailand and across the region to join us. Together, we can build a food system that\u2019s not only kinder to animals but also more aligned with the values of today\u2019s consumers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
