Hi everyone!
We are very pleased to share three new commitments for Peru:
- Las Gringas: A pizzeria in Arequipa, Peru’s second-largest city, completed its transition to 100% cage-free eggs in 2024 and officially announced its commitment this week.
- Chaqchao Chocolates: A chocolate shop in Arequipa, completed its transition to 100% cage-free eggs in 2024 and officially announced its commitment this week.
- Tortas de la casa: A bakery in Lima, the capital of Peru, has started its transition to using 20% cage-free eggs and has committed to achieving 100% by 2028.

You can view the announcements of the commitments at the following links: Las Gringas, Chaqchao Chocolates, and Tortas de la Casa.
Scale: National (Perú)
Timeline:
Las Gringas y Chaqchao Chocolates: Both companies are owned by the same person. Our first contact was in 2023 during our trip to Arequipa. After maintaining consistent communication through emails, we were able to finalize the commitment following an in-person meeting in 2024, when we returned to Arequipa.
Tortas de la Casa: The first contact and in-person meeting took place in November 2024. Continuous follow-up was carried out to ensure they started the transition and announced the commitment.
Who: Compromiso Verde
Unsuccessful Tactics: Las Gringas and Chaqchao Chocolates were not responding to our emails. We reestablished contact when we mentioned that we would be in Arequipa and requested an in-person meeting.
Successful Tactics: Schedule in-person meetings and connect them with local cage-free egg suppliers.
Scalability: The commitments from Las Gringas and Chaqchao are particularly important because Arequipa is the second most significant city in Peru, yet it only had one cage-free commitment. The commitment from Tortas de la Casa is also crucial, as being a bakery, it uses a large number of eggs, meaning the impact on hens is considerable.
Follow Up: We will stay in touch to request reports and validate compliance with the commitments.
Thank you!
