Hello everyone!

We’re pleased to announce our first cage-free commitment from a supermarket: Franco Supermercado, a retailer with four stores in Arequipa and one in Lima, has committed to selling only 100% cage-free eggs by the end of 2026.

Commitment link: You can see the publication of the commitment in this LINK.

Scale: National (Perú)

Timeline: 

Compromiso Verde first established contact during a visit to Arequipa in April 2023. We followed up during a second trip in September 2024, where we arranged an in-person meeting. After several months without a response, we successfully reengaged the company by sending a corporate gift for Friendship Day. This gesture led to two additional face-to-face meetings in February 2025, during which we also explored how Compromiso Verde could support them in developing a cage-free egg farm through our PROBA certification program for local producers.

ARBA began conversations with Franco Supermercado in November 2024 through emails, WhatsApp messages, and phone calls.

Who: Compromiso Verde and ARBA

Unsuccessful Tactics: None.

Successful Tactics: In-person meetings at the company’s offices in Lima and Arequipa, delivered a corporate gift, and offered support for cage-free egg production through the PROBA program.

Scalability: This commitment is significant as it comes from a supermarket chain with locations in Peru's two largest cities.

Follow Up: We will stay in touch to request reports and validate compliance with the commitment. 

Thank you!
