The report reveals 59 of the world's 150 largest food companies provide little or no information on their approach to farm animal welfare.

WORLD ANIMAL PROTECTION: Multiple global food brands are resistant to improving their animal welfare standards, according to a new report launched today by World Animal Protection and Compassion in World Farming (CIWF). The 2020 Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare (BBFAW) report reveals that 59 of the world’s 150 largest food brands appear in the lowest tiers (Tiers 5 and 6), indicating these companies provide little or no information on their approach to farm animal welfare.

Even more surprising, is that one in five (31) trusted global food companies has no farm animal welfare policy at all. There is some encouraging news in that 23 companies have moved up at least one tier, yet the average score for companies overall is a mere 35%, showing there is much room for improvement.

Some of the lowest scoring companies – ranked in Tiers 5 and 6 of the Benchmark – are Subway, Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr., United Natural Foods, and Publix, many of whom went down in the ranking since 2019 and lag significantly behind their peers on farm animal welfare.

This is in stark contrast to other leading names such as Kraft Heinz, who are working hard to improve animal welfare in their supply chains and advanced in this year’s ranking. The most improved companies since the BBFAW was launched in 2012 include Nestlé, Sodexo, and Barilla, which have moved up an impressive three tiers since they were first assessed.

The Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare (BBFAW) is the leading global measure of corporate action on farm animal welfare. The report ranks 150 global food companies on farm animal welfare standards across six tiers. Tier 1 is at the top, demonstrating leadership on farm animal welfare, and Tier 6 is at the bottom, indicating that companies have yet to acknowledge animal welfare as a business issue. Here are the US Company Rankings in BBFAW 2020. SOURCE…
