Egg-Laying Hens57 million media impressions for EggTrack in 2018Compassion USA reported: "Because the success of Compassion USA’s compliance work hinges in large part on getting results in front of consumers, food companies, investors, and other stakeholders, we are pleased that the 2018 EggTrack report was featured in Bloomberg, Politico, Eater, and more, along with industry-oriented outlets such as Meat + Poultry and The Poultry Site. Media coverage reached nearly 57 million potential viewers in 2018."

Published EggTrack ReportCompassion USA reported: "Compassion published our 2nd annual EggTrack report in September of 2018 which tracked the progress of 100 companies (27 more companies than the previous year) across all egg categories (shell, liquid, and processed/ingredient), with 27% reporting progress. In addition to the company tracker, the report also included a forward by Sodexo, an investor guide to utilizing the report and various technical resources to support a companies transition to cage-free. Since the launch of the 2018 EggTrack report, Compassion engagement on compliance also led to industry leaders McDonald’s and Walmart/Sam’s Club disclosing progress against their cage-free egg commitments for the first time. In the last quarter of 2018/19, Compassion began work on its 2019 EggTrack report, which will cover an expanded list of 125 companies, as well as the inaugural edition of ChickenTrack, which will serve the same purpose of EggTrack in years to come by tracking company progress against meeting their broiler welfare commitments.

220 commitments securedAnima International reported: "Between the beginning of 2018 and July 2019 we obtained over 220 cage-free commitments, primarily through corporate outreach and campaigns which Anima International led ourselves, but also as supporting organisations for the Open Wing Alliance campaigns led by The Humane League. The major focus for our cage free work is now on securing the first strategic wins in Ukraine and the implementation of the commitments in Poland. Securing strategic wins in Ukraine is essential, not only for starting the domino effect we know that can happen, but also as a crucial case that can be used in the rest of the region to create change. Country by country, our approach is to push the front line of the cage free campaign and move into new markets, building an arsenal of cases from comparable companies and markets."

38 commitments in BrazilMFA reported: "The first- and third-largest retailers in Brazil have committed to eliminating eggs from caged hens in all stores. We launched our Walmart campaign in 2016, and since then we've hosted more than 13 demonstrations; delivered 130,000 petition signatures; coordinated huge tweetstorms; run billboards in strategic locations; and organized online actions centered on popular events, like the World Cup and TV-reality competiton Big Brother. Walmart is the third-largest retailer in the country, operating 471 stores across 18 states. We estimate that as many as 2.8 million birds will be impacted each year once Walmart's policy is implemented. Carrefour is the leading retailer in Brazil and has more than 490 locations. After more than two years in dialogue with Mercy For Animals and other animal groups in Brazil, Carrefour became the first retailer to commit to banning the sale in Brazil of eggs from hens confined in cages. Carrefour’s commitment was not only an important achievement for the movement and a milestone for the industry but an example for other supermarkets. We estimate that this commitment will impact nearly 5 million hens once implemented.[...] Also in Brazil, M. Dias Branco, the largest baked goods and pasta manufacturer in the country, committed to going cage-free after pressure from Mercy For Animals. Once implemented, this policy will reduce suffering for nearly 5 million hens every year." "We also estimate that 18 million birds will be spared from cages each year once corporate cage-free policy commitments we have obtained are fully implemented. It's important to note that we achieve much of our corporate animal welfare progress in partnership with other organizations."

Product of the year awards in PolandAnima International reported: "Poland:For two years in a row now, we’ve listed the best 12 products launched in the following year.Our followers are invited to vote, while the food producers are encouraged to promote theirproducts and our competition to receive more votes. It does not only enable us to get in touchwith the companies introducing changes in the food market, but also provides us with a strongtool to present to retail chains and gets us insights into customers’ needs. The ranking is used by companies taking part in it. For example, representatives of JogurtyMagda, a dairy producer that introduced a line of plant-based yoghurts, added an infographicabout their success to their email footers.In 2019 we organized the same competition for the first time in Ukraine."

Organized plant-based meat conference in Poland.Anima International reported: "We organized the Plant-Powered Perspectives conference in October 2018 in Warsaw,which gathered nearly 200 representatives of the food industry who are interested in thegrowing popularity of plant products.We carefully selected the speakers so that theywould cover a wide range of issues related to the food industry and give the audiencepragmatic, data-based perspectives on what they can gain by extending their offers ofplant-based products. Along with the plant-based products industry leaders, we hostedpresentations by speakers affiliated with renowned national and global researchagencies (Mintel, Hatalska Foresight Institute, The Good Food Institute) who shared theirinsights into the latest food trends and the future of food being rooted in cell andplant-based production. The conference was also accompanied by Plant-Powered Pitching - young companiesand people who are planning to introduce their products to the market presented theirideas for plant-based businesses. The idea behind the pitching was to endorseinnovation and open up the market to ethical, in-demand products. The winner of ourpitching, a company offering cashew-based ice-cream (Lody Syrenka) is now availablein the biggest supermarkets in the country (e.g. Carrefour). A group of students from theWarsaw University of Technology presented their concept for yoghurt made from milletand received the Audience Award for their ​creativity." "During the conference, we also introduced Lody Syrenka to Professor Artur Świergielfrom the Warsaw Institute of Agricultural and Food Biotechnology which resulted intheir later cooperation related to research, improvement and creation of new veganproducts available on an increasing scale. Together they are working on the besttechnology for the production of cashew ice cream in Poland.One of the participants of our conference was Michał Piosik who took detailed notesduring all lectures​​in order to start ​FoodTech.ac​ a couple of months later - anaccelerator that combines new technologies with the food industry to serve the wholeworld. The vast majority of startups in the accelerator are plant-based. One of thementors in the project is Maciej Otrębski - our Strategic Partnerships Manager."

Published "Good Food Restaurant Scorecard"GFI reported: "Publishing the Good Food Restaurant Scorecard—The Good Food Restaurant Scorecard annually ranks the Nation’s Restaurant News Top 100 Restaurants according to the breadth and depth of their plant-based entrées and their promotion of plant-based eating. We released the inaugural Restaurant Scorecard in 2017 and a second edition in 2018, which collectively led to meetings with over 30 of the largest global restaurant chains, including several of the largest Quick Service Restaurants. The Scorecard is not only helping GFI build awareness and relationships with U.S. restaurant chains, it is also generating media coverage to raise the profile of GFI and plant-based foods for the whole industry. From 2017 to 2018, we saw scores increase across almost all segments, driven by the introduction of new plant-based entrées and the increased availability of plant-friendly breakfast foods. The number of Top 100 restaurant chains earning zero points on our Scorecard dropped from 55 in 2017 to 45 in 2018. In 2019, we anticipate further increases in aggregate scores due to recent high-profile plant-based launches, including Burger King’s Impossible Whopper, multiple large Mexican chains embracing plant-based beef, Little Caesar’s and other pizza chains debuting plant-based meat toppings, and the introduction of Beyond Meat’s breakfast sausage."

Since the beginning of 2018, we’ve attended 11 big events:●Food Show (March 2018)●Warsaw Food Expo (May 2018)●Meat Technology Advancements Symposium (May 2019)●Forum of Food Market​ and Trade (November 2018)●[...]●Gastro Meeting: Business Woman Edition (November 2018)●Gdańsk Gastroom (March 2019)●Gdańsk Food Expo (May 2019)●Hotel Meeting (April 2019)●Gastro Meeting (May 2019)●Garmaż Conference (Convenience products conference, May 2019).We’ve presented lots of data and case studies to support our stance and partnered withplant-based companies to create “plant-based zones”, where other manufacturers could get ataste of some of the most popular vegan products in Poland (e.g. meatless butcher - BezmięsnyMięsny, vegan cashew cheeses from Wege Siostry and mayo from Starck’s Food Polska). Aswell as networking and getting advice from companies who are already in the business andsucceeding. Our zones were extremely popular among the attendees who didn’t expect veganproducts to taste so well - the one at Food Expo was even visited by the former Minister ofEconomics, Janusz Piechociński. Weronika Pochylska (Head of Development) and MaciejOtrębski (Strategic Partnerships Manager) talked about the growing consumer interest inplant-based products, international investments in cell- and plant-based production andcorporate social responsibility."

Influenced a retailer to stock plant-based alternatives in the meat aisle.GFI reported: "Influencing major U.S. retailers—We convinced a retail chain to integrate all refrigerated plant-based meat products directly in the meat aisle with dedicated signage and marketing efforts. This retailer has since influenced other retailers, industry colleagues, and the Power of Meat study, which now recommends shelving plant-based meat in the meat aisle as a result. We have also partnered with two major retail chains to advise them on the development of more plant-based private label product offerings, which will significantly increase accessibility and affordability of plant-based foods. We have built relationships with and advised more than five of the largest U.S. retailers on plant-based product assortment, marketing, and merchandising."

7 commitments in EuropeASF reported: " 7 broiler commitments (just starting to gain momentum) [...] The victories also include Compass Group (European commitment). Compass fell right after we won the Sodexo campaign. Other groups - such as Compassion - talked to Compass about this and Compassion used our statement that we'd launch against them soon in case the don't commit right away. [...] Aramark followed after Sodexo and Compass did. ASF negotiated with Aramark Germany which is responsible for all of Europe except U.K. & IRL. THL negotiated with Aramark U.K. & US."

Additional notes: The groups are Procuratio, Apetito, Peter Pane, Frosta, and Sodexo, Compass and Aramark. ASF organized the campaign against Sodexo, and they were supported by 10 other organizations, and so they are not fully responsible for the commitment. Following the commitment by Sodexo, Compassion used a communication from ASF that they would launch a campaign against Compass, to secure a commitment from compass. ASF were therefore only tangentially responsible for the Compass commitment. It is unclear whether other organizations were involved in securing the other commitments, but most commitments were by groups working in Germany, which would suggest ASF were mostly responsible.
38 Commitments in U.S./CanadaMFA reported: "We estimate that 55 million broiler chickens could be impacted each year once corporate animal welfare policy commitments Mercy For Animals has secured since January 2018 are fully implemented." "Corporate Animal Welfare US/Canada from January 2018 to date: Broiler commitments: 38 covering 56 brands" "After a movement-wide initiative, Denny’s, a restaurant chain with nearly 1,600 locations, committed to giving chickens more space, better lighting, and an environment that allows for more natural behaviors. Denny’s has also agreed to transition to strains of birds that have not been bred for unnaturally rapid growth that causes intense pain and to eliminate live-shackle slaughter. We estimate as many as 10 million birds could be impacted each year once the policy is in place."

Organized plant-based market research conducted by NielsenGFI reported: "Driving plant-based market analysis—We drove the 2018 expanded Nielsen market analysis on the U.S. retail sales of plant-based foods, which has generated tremendous enthusiasm for plant-based meat and has resulted in over 500 media mentions, including repeated mentions in Bloomberg, FT, CNBC, and other key business outlets. Our fact sheet offers a snapshot of the market penetration of plant-based foods, noting that sales of plant-based meat increased 23% in the past year and that the plant-based foods market has now grown to a $3.7 billion market domestically. With the addition of SPINS U.S. retail sales data on plant-based alternatives in the natural channel, the total U.S. plant-based retail market is worth over $4.1 billion. The analysis also determined that plant-based dollar sales are increasing by double-digits in every region of the country, highlighting the widespread demand. We are broadly disseminating these findings to encourage plant-based and clean meat, egg, and dairy R&D and investments by both major corporations and investors."

~12 vegan festivals in PolandAnima International reported: "We organize the most popular vegan festival in Poland. In 2018 we held seven editions andeight editions will take place in 2019. It’s one of the sources of income for our campaigns but italso has the potential of advertising newly-launched products and companies to a big and veryinterested audience. This potential of our festivals is more and more recognized by variouscompanies, who decide to sponsor the event in return for mentions in our communicationmaterials and the best spots at the festival itself. Depending on the city, the events might vary insize - ranging from 21 to 91 sellers, and from 1000 to 7000 visitors. Each edition of the festival gets lots of media attention and we are confident that it plays a big role in making a plant-basedlifestyle more attractive to people and showing companies that there is a huge potential in thissector."
