MINNEAPOLIS—Radisson Hotel Group announced that it has made a commitment to sourcing 100 percent of its eggs (shell, liquid and egg products) from cage-free sources globally by 2025 for its entire global portfolio. The Group will also publish this commitment in all key native languages and will publicly report on progress annually. This follows the company’s successful implementation of its augmented Supplier Code of Conduct in 2018, raising the bar with suppliers in terms of human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption standards.
“The Humane League is delighted to see Radisson Hotel Group committing to sourcing 100 percent cage-free eggs throughout their global portfolio by 2025. Radisson Hotel Group joins the rapidly increasing list of companies committing to sourcing exclusively cage-free eggs. This commitment will benefit the lives of hens throughout their global supply chain and confirms that, for Radisson Hotel Group, the welfare of animals raised for food is a high priority,” said Amy Odene, Global Corporate Relations Co-ordinator at The Humane League.
“We are committed to making this positive change in our hotels around the world,” said Inge Huijbrechts, Global Senior Vice President, Responsible Business at Radisson Hotel Group. “The switch to cage-free egg supplies will require time and investment, but we will work closely with our suppliers and hotel owners to drive meaningful progress.”
As one of the world’s largest hotel groups, Radisson Hotel Group has a long history of being a responsible business by having ethical business practices at the core of its culture. With this announcement, the company is ensuring decent welfare standards for animals that are reared for the ingredients used in the meals served in its hotels.
