Change begins by valuing animal welfare
Many international organizations have started incorporating animal welfare into their operations when it comes to sustainable development, corporate behavior, and commerce. Carrefour, drawing inspiration from the animal welfare practices in the European Union, began a commitment and reform action regarding cage-free eggs since 2018. Carrefour announced that they would no longer sell eggs from caged hens before 2025, and their own brand products have gradually shifted to using cage-free eggs as ingredients. Carrefour’s proactive actions and specific commitments have been recognized with the "Good Egg Award" from the renowned UK animal welfare organization, Compassion in World Farming (CIWF).
Carrefour collaborates with non-profit organizations to jointly address systemic issues of animal welfare in Taiwan. In 2022, Carrefour firstly organized the Animal Welfare And Food Transition Forum to promote communication and cooperation among industry, government, and academia. Carrefour has been a long-time supporter of the "Pigs Welfare Standards (2022)" and the "Taiwan Dairy Cattle Welfare Scorecard (2021)", which are initiated and established by the Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan (EAST). Carrefour also assists in promoting relevant certification labels. From 2018, Carrefour has launched the "Cage Free Alliance Certification" for certifying the eggs friendly produced by the battery hens and expanding the certification to include other livestock species, by introducing the "EAST-certified" in 2021.
In response to SDG 12’s responsible production and consumption, Carrefour launched the transparent toast in Taiwan in 2022, which is the first carrying certifications for "Cage Free Alliance Certification", "EAST-certified" and "Clean Label". Since 2019, Carrefour has pioneered the concept of influential stores and conducted hundreds of food transformation guides to promote sustainable education, assist small-scale producers in entering the market, support dairy farmers in addressing future commercial challenges through the promotion of EAST-certified, and advocate for the inclusion of animal welfare in procurement policies of the food and catering industry. Furthermore, Carrefour has influenced external partners to expand the procurement and usage of animal welfare products, and they have extended their efforts to issues related to the farming as well as slaughter of chicken and pigs.
