Ernst & Young – Transitioning to Cage-Free

The document serves as a guide for corporate decision-makers transitioning from caged to cage-free egg sources. It covers ethical and economic aspects and offers a step-by-step implementation plan. The growing global concern over the use of cages in the egg industry is driving changes, with many companies worldwide, including those operating in India, committing to using only cage-free eggs. As the third-largest egg producer globally, India still heavily relies on caged systems, but the demand for cage-free eggs is rising. The guide provides strategies and a roadmap for transitioning to cage-free eggs, including financing models, certification, and reporting.
