refreshwithUS are celebrating a great result after winning a Good Farm Animal Welfare Award. The award was presented on 28 November 2011 by Compassion in World Farming for refreshwithUS’ efforts to help improve the welfare of farm animals.
The award recognises commitment to improving the lives of animals by sourcing only higher welfare eggs, chicken or dairy produce for their catering.
Winning the award has shown that the refreshwithUS team really are good eggs – with over 3,000 eggs being used by them each month.
Tracy Carr, Executive Chef for refreshwithUS at The University of Sheffield, said: “We take our commitment to ethical and environmental issues very seriously and are always looking for new ways to reduce our impact on the environment. We always try to use local suppliers and ethically sourced produce and by only using free range eggs we’re supporting animal welfare. Small changes really do make a big difference in a large organisation like the University and it’s really important that we do our bit to make the world a better place. Plus, we think free range eggs taste better!”
Over 265 million hens, chickens, pigs and dairy cows are set to benefit each year as a result of the Compassion in World Farming winners’ policies.
