Animal welfare

A matter of respect

What is the key to ensuring both the quality of the end product and service and a positive impact on society and the environment? Choosing raw materials which also prioritise respect. For the environment and the people who live there.

For us, sustainability means respect, starting with respect for conditions that promote animal welfare. Camst is committed to ensuring that these policies are also shared by its vendors. The company has updated its Animal Welfare policy, basing it on respect for the Five Freedoms, used to define animal welfare conditions.
Production chains for “barn” eggs, from hens which live on the ground, in spaces where they are free to move around and express normal behaviour, have now been in operation for several years.
We have been combatting confinement in cages in this supply chain in partnership with CIWF (Compassion in World Farming) since 2015, when Camst launched a procedure to phase out the use of eggs and egg products from battery hens, with target dates of 2023 and 2025 respectively.

In 2023 we achieved our goal of purchasing 100% “barn” eggs, thanks to the conversion of the products purchased from a number of vendors nationwide.
With regard to pasteurised eggs, which represent a large proportion of egg products, a gradual conversion process will be launched with the main vendors in 2024. This approach will mitigate the economic impact, with the aim of completing the transition by the end of 2025.
