We are delighted to share some updates for the hospitality sector in Taiwan.

 

Firstly, the Silks Hotel Group – Taiwan's largest publicly-listed hotel group – has announced it will go cage-free by 2030, with the flagship Regent Taipei to transition by 2026.

 

Regent Taipei's specialty restaurants – the Gallery Lounge and Robin’s Steakhouse and Teppanyaki – have already transitioned to free range eggs sourced from New Dawn Care Farm, where hens are cared for by employees living with physical or intellectual disabilities. The policy was announced at a joint press conference following ongoing negotiations since December 2023.

 

Secondly, Taipei Marriott Hotel announced that it is the first hotel in Taiwan to exclusively source cage-free eggs and milk awarded EAST Certified certification. 

 

The 506-room hotel is home to nine function and banquet venues, six restaurants, and an employee restaurant, which together source more than 600,000 eggs and 50,000 liters of milk per year.


EAST Certified is a certification scheme that aims to give animals a better life. Applicants must pass strict animal welfare and Chain of Custody audits to earn EAST Certified certification.

Hello FAST members   Two months ago we submitted to the Servicio Nacional de Sanidad Agraria  (Senasa), an agency attached to the  Ministerio de Desarrollo Agrario y Riego  (Midagri), a regulatory proposal aimed at incorporating specific provisions of Animal welfare in the land transport of farm animals. Currently, national legislation only addresses health and hygiene requirements, without establishing criteria to guarantee minimum welfare conditions during transport. This regulatory gap has negative consequences, as it increases animal suffering and the incidence of injuries and mortality, particularly in situations of stress or accidents during transport. Our proposal seeks to align Peruvian regulations with the regional and international standardsIn this sense, we highlight the positive openness of Midagri and Senasa to evaluate the initiative and the relevance of the interest expressed by the Comunidad Andina, which has been promoting regulatory harmonization in this area among member countries.  In this regard, we have already held a meeting with the group of lawyers from both institutions, as well as with the Andean Community, advancing discussions toward the creation of a joint guide to animal welfare in the Peruvian land transportation system. We trust that the incorporation of animal welfare criteria in transport will represent a significant advance in both animal protection and welfare in the country. Great day, Iselda Livoni Arba Peru
