Seven global food firms have joined forces to create the Global Coalition for Animal Welfare (GCAW). Nestlé, Unilever, Ikea Food Services, Aramark, Compass Group, Elior Group, and Sodexois form one of the world’s first global food industry-led groups focused on accelerating the development of animal welfare standards.
The coalition will implement 3 strategies: provide a platform where food companies and farm animal welfare experts can work closely; prioritize welfare issues and develop roadmaps for industry change; and advance knowledge through industry insights, research, and partnerships for action.
