The provenance and origin of the food we purchase is a key consideration for us. We require that food is only purchased from authorised suppliers. In 2009, we were awarded four more ‘Good Egg’ Awards, which are given by the leading farm animal welfare charity Compassion in World Farming to companies who source cage-free eggs, or are committed to do so by 2012. Our UK business uses 39 million eggs a year and, although the move to barn or free-range eggs is a complex process, we are actively working to encourage more sites to use only cage-free eggs and increase our current participation rate of 27%.
