We have always believed that the quality of a product begins with respect: for those who choose it, for those who produce it, and for the environment around us. That is why, as early as 2016, we decided to embark on an ambitious journey: to globally extend the use of eggs from cage-free farms, in many cases anticipating local regulations and market trends, with the aim of pursuing a global standard of quality and improved animal welfare.
Today, we are proud to say that this commitment has become a reality across all our production sites worldwide. Every egg used in our products comes from barn farms, where hens have more space and the opportunity to express their natural behaviours.
This is not only an ethical choice, but also a matter of quality. Because when animal welfare is respected, there’s simply more pleasure in enjoying the product.
It has been a gradual journey, built on collaboration with suppliers, on-site inspections and constant dialogue to ensure high standards of care and responsible practices. A quiet but tangible effort, which today marks an important milestone on our path towards a more sustainable and accountable supply chain.
This achievement reflects our long-standing commitment to ethical business values and our determination to keep raising the bar for product quality across all our production sites. It represents a key step in our continuous journey towards a more sustainable way of doing business.
“Achieving the exclusive use of cage-free eggs in all our sites is a key step in Dr. Schär’s vision,” explains Hannes Berger, CEO of Dr. Schär. “It is not just a production milestone, but a tangible commitment to a more sustainable future, combining quality, responsible practices and accountability to consumers. We will continue to innovate and guide the value chain, demonstrating that sustainability and quality can be at the heart of business.”
We know that sustainability is a journey that requires consistency and vision. This achievement is not an endpoint, but an important stage in an ongoing commitment, made day by day through conscious choices and tangible actions.
With the adoption of 100% cage-free eggs, we are strengthening our commitment to quality nutrition, showing that sustainability and taste can truly go hand in hand
