HOW THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED?
In the fifth edition of the Cage-Free Tracker for Latin America, Sinergia Animal conducted a survey to gather information on the progress of 138 companies that are headquartered or operate in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador regarding their transition to cage-free egg sourcing at a national level. For companies with global policies, we requested that they provide figures specifically for Latin America.
THERE ARE TWO MAIN OBJECTIVES:
Transparency
Highlight the importance of reporting, even for companies that have not yet begun the transition.
Progress
Keep companies accountable to fulfil their transition commitments.
Timeframe
This report includes companies that announced cage-free commitments by April 2024 and operate in at least one of the six evaluated countries: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay.
It is important to note that the ranking reflects only the period for which these companies reported. Any progress or updates made after August 30 (2024) have not been included in this report. For the most up-to-date information, please check the latest announcements and publications from each company through their official channels.​​
