Cage Free Tracker

CAGE-FREE TRACKER ASIA
Following companies’ advances towards a cage-free future in Asia

Eliminating Cages
In recent years, dozens of companies have adopted cage-free commitments so that we are moving closer to a cage-free future. But this is just the beginning. Companies must be kept accountable while transitioning. That's why we created this tracking program, which is dedicated to monitoring companies who have made a commitment, ensuring that they publicly report progress towards eliminating eggs from caged hens within their supply chains, by the promised deadlines.

Cage versus cage-free
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), of the United Nations, Asia is the most significant egg producer in the world, accounting for over 64% of the global production.
The vast majority of egg-laying hens spend their entire lives confined in tiny cages where they can barely move. These cages, called 'battery cages', are considered one of the worst animal confinement systems today, as they cause immense suffering to animals.
