26 Apr 2024 --- Global food companies now recognize farm animal welfare as a core business issue but have generally failed to deliver meaningful change. The Business Benchmark on Animal Welfare (BBFAW) has ranked 150 leading food companies on animal welfare and given the vast majority a poor performance impact rating.
