APAC Spotlight: Exploring the Future of Cage-free Eggs in Asia-Pacific

News Section Icon Published 12/01/2025

As the 2025 deadline for numerous global, regional and local cage-free egg commitments approaches, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region stands at a pivotal moment. Compassion in World Farming’s APAC EggTrack 2024 ‘Spotlight’ highlights who’s leading the way, who’s making steady progress, and who risks lagging behind on meeting their cage-free goals.

Laying Hens (2)

Five companies are leading with major progress reported across Australia and New Zealand. Notable leaders include McDonald's, which has achieved 100% cage-free status for all shell eggs and egg products in both countries, alongside Coles Group and Woolworths Group, who have demonstrated consistent advancements. Burger King and Sodexo (Australia) also stand out for their transparency and progress, setting clear benchmarks for the region to follow.

The Spotlight serves as an important tool to accelerate progress toward cage-free systems in the region, by showcasing success stories of transparent reporting, robust policies, and bold actions to transform commitments into tangible improvements for laying hens.
