Hi FAST,

The fast casual chain, WOWorks, is the most recent company to publish a roadmap for the Better Chicken Commitment! Roadmaps were published under each of the brand subsidiaries (Zoup, Saladworks, Barberitos, and Garbanzo) with implementation already underway and a path to 100% compliance by 2029. This is also the first year that WOWorks has published reporting toward BCC compliance. 

 

Timeline: CIWF has been meeting with WOWorks on a monthly basis since January 2023. Work on the roadmap didn't begin until October 2023.

Who: Compassion in World Farming and MFA

Successful Tactics

  • WOWorks’ membership in CIWF’s US Working Group for Broiler Welfare and the requirement for members to publish a roadmap 
  • Monthly meetings and resource sharing; leveraging CIWF's ChickenTrack Report to encourage public reporting
  • Providing timely feedback on drafts for the roadmaps
  • Offering a feature on our website and socials

Follow-up: This public reporting will be reflected in CIWF’s ChickenTrack report, and we will continue to work with WOWorks on implementation over the next 12 months.

Congratulations to those working on this important initiative!

Fórum Animal are pleased to announce that Alfa Piscicultura, a Brazilian tilapia producer, has committed to maintain animal welfare standards. This includes daily water quality assessments and keeping predators away from tanks. Additionally, Pizza Prime, the largest pizza franchise in Brazil, published its crate-free commitment to only buy pork from suppliers that work with sows group housing throughout gestation. Pizza Prime has committed to making this transition by 2026. You can find both commitments in Portuguese by accessing: * Alfa Piscicultura: "Bem-estar" at the Instagram profile @alfapiscicultura * Pizza Prime: website post In terms of impact, we estimate that Alfa Piscicultura's commitment will guarantee the benefit of over 1.400.000 tilapias per year! On the other hand, Pizza Prime's crate-free commitment should benefit over 259 pigs per year. Pizza Prime should also contribute to impact thousands of consumers with its new animal welfare policy that will be applied to the company's 70 stores across the country. We conducted 1 year of friendly negotiation with the companies. Our next steps will be to encourage both companies to share their success story in animal welfare and to Pizza Prime report its progress. For the animals.
