BBFAW has transformed the way in which investors analyse and act on farm animal welfare, moving farm animal welfare from a niche ethical concern to one that is core to the way investors analyse food companies and assess how these companies are discharging their social and environmental obligations.

The Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare is designed to drive higher farm animal welfare standards in the world’s leading food businesses. It assesses company practice and company performance on farm animal welfare, providing companies with clear framework for improvement, and enabling investors, customers, consumers and NGOs to engage effectively with these companies on their practices and their performance on farm animal welfare.
