Compassion’s GOOD FARM ANIMAL WELFARE AWARDS continue to help companies move away from factory farming. The 2020 Awards saw 28 million animals set to benefit each year. They included Good Pig Production Awards for six Chinese companies and recognition for Co-Op UK for committing to end ALL caged farming in their supply chain.

After companies pledge to use cage-free eggs by 2026 or earlier, our annual EGGTRACK reports their progress. Last year, in Europe, 23 more businesses committed to go cage free and 72% of all companies reported progress. Meanwhile, 40% of US companies reported progress, up dramatically from just 27% the previous year.

We shine a spotlight on the policies and practices of food companies through the BUSINESS BENCHMARK ON FARM ANIMAL WELFARE. This partnership project is designed to show investors which big businesses are taking farm animal welfare seriously. In 2020, 30 companies moved up the ranking system - a testament to how business finance can be leveraged to impact improved welfare standards for farmed animals.

2020 saw BETTER CHICKEN COMMITMENTS from five major French retailers, huge catering companies Compass Group and Compass Group, API Restauration and KFC. These commitments will directly benefit 72 million animals every year.

Finally, a record-breaking 28 retailers were assessed on their farm animal welfare standards through our SUPERMARKET SURVEY. We met with each of these companies to provide feedback and drive improvements in the welfare of farm animals.

WHAT NEXT?

We will secure new business policies and commitments to improve the lives of at least 300 million more animals a year.
Following the publication of the first Global EggTrack report, we’ll continue to take a holistic, worldwide approach to holding companies accountable for their cage free egg commitments.
We will support moves towards cage free and higher welfare farming of hens, chickens and fish through industry forums, providing advice and sharing best practice.
Through improved animal welfare reporting, policies, and practices, we will improve the rankings of 15 or more companies via the Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare.
We will launch a unique new program to help companies reduce their use of meat, fish, and dairy products – encouraging regenerative agriculture that restores nature and biodiversity.

In 2020, supporters took 2,256,991 actions to end farm animal cruelty, raised vital funds through sponsored activities and generously backed our appeals or made monthly donations.
