3、ress on their Better Chicken Commitments,we are proud to present the findings of our first annual European ChickenTrack Report.The 2022 report tracks the progress of 73 commitments made by 60 European companies2 towards introducing the higher welfare requirements of the Better Chicken Commitment(BCC

4、)3 and provides a baseline for tracking year-on-year industry progress.It is encouraging to see that progress is being reported for 42%(31 out of 73)of the commitments being tracked,with progress ranging from an average 21%for breed change to 54%for Controlled Atmospheric Stunning(CAS)across 21 and

5、19 commitments respectively.It is also encouraging to see that BCC-compliant chicken is on the shelves of major retailers M&S in the UK,Carrefour in France and REMA 1000 in Norway.While Compassion applauds those companies demonstrating progress and dedication to their Better Chicken Commitments,more

6、 than half(58%)of the commitments across 37 companies do not have any progress reported against them.We recognise progress may be slower than originally intended,as companies continue to navigate the impact of a prolonged,difficult external landscape resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic,the war in U

7、kraine,rising inflation and the continued prevalence of the highly pathogenic avian influenza(HPAI).However,despite these challenges,it is imperative that companies continue to work on developing their implementation roadmaps and ongoing building blocks for success,to enable a smooth transition at s

8、cale when the economic environment improves.We remain dedicated to supporting companies wishing to transition to Better Chicken and commend those that are demonstrating good progress,as highlighted in this years report.We urge companies that have yet to sign up to join the movement and others that a

9、re yet to report,or prepare their implementation roadmaps,to act now.Higher welfare chicken should be a priority for all food companies.Chickens are sentient beings and deserve a good quality of life as well as a humane end.By using more robust breeds and providing them with better living conditions

10、 they can live longer,healthier and more fulfilled lives.It is possible and its what consumers expect.ForewordDr Tracey Jones Global Director of Food Business,Compassion in World Farming International1 https:/ 2 In some cases,companies have made several individual commitments across multiple markets

11、 in Europe,for example Carrefour France,Italy,Poland and Spain.This report therefore tracks 73 commitments across 60 companies.3 Also known as the European Chicken Commitment(ECC).The two names refer to the same initiative and set of criteria.The Better Chicken Commitment tends to refer to commitmen

12、ts taken at a national level,while the European Chicken Commitment is more commonly used for region-wide or multiple country commitments.For ease we refer to the Better Chicken Commitment(BCC)throughout the report and give specific examples of country scope where appropriate.012IntroductionA common

13、characteristic of standard intensive production of any farmed species is the use of high performance breeds in confined and barren environments,often at the expense of the animals physical and mental wellbeing.Intensive broiler chicken production fails to provide birds with sufficient space to live

14、or a stimulating and complex environment to perform natural behaviours such as pecking,perching,walking and running.IntroductionWith over 3505 companies in Europe signed up to the Better Chicken Commitment,the landscape of broiler production is on the threshold of large-scale change.By signing up,de

15、veloping implementation roadmaps and transitioning to BCC-compliant chicken,companies are at the forefront of a significant market shift and revolution for chicken welfare.The 2022 European ChickenTrack Report details company progress against their commitments,to encourage transparency,drive complia

16、nce and celebrate transition.The data analysed is derived from publicly reported information shared on company websites and provides a snapshot of industry progress.Our wish is that companies review the findings,note the successes achieved by fellow industry leaders and be encouraged to follow suit

17、with positive momentum and transparent reporting.Their breeding for high performance traits such as growth rate,breast meat yield and feed conversion efficiency,have led to birds becoming lethargic at a young age(spending up to 85%of their time sitting doing nothing),with poor walking ability and a

18、myriad of health issues such as poor immune response and the early development of muscle myopathies,affecting the quality of the meat,such as white striping and wooden breast.A large body of evidence shows that the most common method of broiler production is unable to deliver adequate welfare levels

19、.The Better Chicken Commitment criteria4 were formulated in 2017 to address the areas of greatest concern in relation to broiler welfare,namely stocking density,breed,provision of natural light and environmental enrichment and humane slaughter.The intention being to raise baseline standards of chick

21、%of birds7 estimated to be reared in premium concept systems,which include various additional welfare requirements.It is anticipated that premium concept production(which includes BCC)will reach 15-20%in the EU by 20257 UKThere have been more than 120 commitments from both national and international

22、 companies in the UK8,the majority coming from the out-of-home sector which includes contract caterers,Quick Service Restaurants and other food outlets.Two producers,PD Hook(Hatcheries)Ltd and 2 Sisters Food Group have pledged to supply chicken to the BCC standard.However,critically,only two retaile

23、rs have signed up to the BCC:M&S and Waitrose.M&S is the first company in the UK to transition 100%of its fresh chicken successfully,under the Oakham Gold,RSPCA Assured label.Other UK retailers have introduced a BCC-compliant fresh chicken tier,however,this typically makes up a small proportion of t

24、heir full chicken offer.Tesco brought in its Room to Roam range in April 2020 and Morrisons introduced its Space to Roam range in February 2021.Sainsburys announced plans to reduce the stocking density of its own-brand chicken to 30kg/m2 by March 2023,but has yet to commit to breed change which is c

25、entral to affording chickens a better quality of life.Retailer commitments are essential to help build supply at pace and scale and to enable market access for others.We therefore urge all UK retailers to sign up to the BCC to galvanise market transition and make higher welfare chicken the industry

30、retailers such as ALDI,Auchan,Carrefour,E.Leclerc,Groupe Casino,Intermarch,Systme U,Lidl and Schiever.Furthermore,the French animal welfare labelling system Etiquette Bien-tre Animal,launched in December 2018,supports market transition by offering these retailers a clear way to signpost consumers to

31、 their Better Chicken products on shelf.Level C of the labelling system serves as a guarantee to consumers that the BCC on-farm criteria are being met.Both Carrefour and Systme U already stock Level C product on their shelves in a limited number of stores.The number of commitments in France has reac

32、hed 11010 to date and also includes leading manufacturers and food service companies.The two leading French poultry producers LDC and Galliance are both able to supply higher welfare product to their customers but have not yet fully signed up to the Better Chicken Commitment.Galliance,however,aims t

33、o ensure that at least 50%of its total chicken production will comply with BCC requirements by 2026.In France,higher welfare broiler production is certified by initiatives such as Label Rouge(free-range,slower-growing breeds,low stocking densities)and organic,representing almost 20%of French broiler

34、 production11.Between these two production models and conventional production(high stocking density at 42kg/m and fast-growing breeds),a clear opportunity for higher welfare chicken exists.ITALYWhile 26 food companies have signed up to the BCC,the majority of these are part of regional commitments f

39、CC.POLANDThere are currently 25 companies signed up to the BCC,including Accor Hotels,Compass Group,Danone,Frosta,IKEA,Nestl,Pizza Hut,Sodexo,Subway and Unilever.As in Spain and Italy,these are primarily part of regional commitments from international companies.Of the top 20 retailers in Poland,only

40、 Auchan and Carrefour have commitments;neither company has reported on their progress to date.Polish producer Res-Drob has committed to implement the required standards of the BCC.While Drosed SA delivers slower-growing breeds to major retailers,they have yet to commit to all BCC standards.12 van Ho

42、ighlighted the rebranding and marketing that M&S had created to bring consumers on board with its transition to BCC-compliant chicken.This year we are delighted to share that from September 2022,M&Ss higher welfare Oakham Gold chicken is now on the shelves with the RSPCA Assured label,making up 100%

43、of its fresh supply.M&S was the first UK retailer to sign up to the Better Chicken Commitment in 2018 and the first to start the transition,successfully securing a commercial deal with its supplier to convert all its Oakham chicken to Oakham Gold.This involved the gradual laying down of breeding flo

44、cks from the slower-growing Hubbard breed-birds that have been shown to lead longer,healthier and more fulfilled lives.M&S offers more RSPCA Assured products than any other retailer and has topped the annual Business Benchmark on Farm Animal Welfare since 2013,winning multiple awards including our S

45、pecial Recognition Award in 2021 for starting its transition to BCC.The changes it is making are testament to its dedication to improving the lives of chickens in its supply chain.Being the first to roll out entry-tier BCC product onto UK shelves,M&S has kicked off one of the biggest shifts in chick

46、en welfare in a generation.As a retailer,it is leading the way in transforming the market and making higher welfare chicken the baseline standard for consumers.Andrew Clappen,Technical Director at M&S Food,said:“We want to keep raising the bar to improve welfare.Its something we know our customers c

47、are deeply about and we do too.But it is also about delivering a tastier,better-quality chicken for our customers.”Compassion in World Farming7Case studiesBeter LevenSince the 1970s,there has been increasing public interest in Dutch agricultural production methods,with price-conscious consumers in t

48、he Netherlands demanding higher welfare alternatives.By 2007 several initiatives sought to occupy the middle ground between the existing standard broiler production and the highest welfare systems and it was these initiatives which gave rise to the Beter Leven 1-star animal welfare label.Beter Leven

49、 1-star is the first in a 1-2-3-level star system introduced by Dierenbescherming(Dutch Animal Protection)and includes a maximum stocking density of 25kg/m2,slower-growing breeds,a covered outdoor area and environmental enrichments.Attempts to fill the gap between standard and higher welfare broiler

50、s met with limited success,most likely because of the disparity between the price and what consumers were willing to pay,but also because retailers continued to offer consumers cheaper,standard alternatives.By 2013 a group of primary producers,the Dutch Poultry Board and the association of retailers

51、 agreed on a new concept known as Kip van Morgen(Chicken of Tomorrow)which focused on slower-growing breeds,stocking density limits of 38kg/m2 and enrichment provision.The concept breached Competition Law and anti-monopoly regulations13,but clearly demonstrated potential for change and this opportun

52、ity was seized upon by Dutch animal welfare organization,Wakker Dier,whose successful and relentless campaigns,holding retailers to account and challenging consumers to stop buying low welfare chicken,became the catalyst for a shift in the market.The retailers at this point bega15 to adopt varied mo

53、dels of the Chicken of Tomorrow concept and in March 2021,retailer Albert Heijn went a step further and made the transformational decision to commit to the Beter Leven 1-star quality mark across all its fresh chicken by January 2023.By August 2021 all the other national supermarkets had followed sui

54、t14.These retailers,which own around 95%of fresh chicken sales in the Netherlands15,caused a ripple effect across the sector.They created confidence with the producers to build their supply and charge more per bird14.Producer incomes remained largely stable and there was an additional health and eco

55、nomic benefit of lower antibiotic usage16.The removal of the low welfare option for consumers meant that this Beter Leven 1-star chicken(broadly in line with BCC requirements)detailed in Table 1 became the entry-level tier and made higher welfare chicken the norm for retailer sales in the Netherland
