Compassion in World Farming is an international non-profit organisation that works for the protection and the wellbeing of animals bred for food purposes.
Compassion's Food Industry collaborates with food enterprises every day so to promote those best practices that take into account the wellbeing of animals, that of the environment and of people.
After a long period of discussion, dialogue and reciprocal acquaintance, today a partnership is born that binds us to Compassion and of which we are particularly proud. What we are making is a formal commitment to further improve the already very high-quality standards that characterise our supply chain.
Thanks to this agreement, we become effectively the first Italian company to commit to respect the criteria of the European Chicken Commitment (ECC), a set of criteria agreed upon at European level that aims to encourage enterprises to improve the standards of chicken breeding.
- By 2023, 100% of organic and free-range supply chains are going to comply with the ECC parameters;
- By 2026, 20% of chicken bred by Fileni with a conventional method are going to be in line with the ECC standards;;
- By 2026 at the latest, for the conventional lines, we are going to supply, to all customers who request them, compliant products with the ECC standards;
- From 2022 onwards, all the new barns we will build will be projected with the potential to house chickens according to the ECC standards.
It is a challenge we wanted to accept, a commitment that we have made to continue to look to the future with innovation, always putting ethics at the core of our business.
