Program areas at The Humane League

In 2022, The Humane League furthered its commitment to fixing our broken food system, freeing animals from cages, and ending The cruelest practices on factory farms. Securing commitments to change The world for chickensthl's researchers, campaigners, organizers, and negotiators engaged corporate executives in dialogue, launched high-profile public pressure campaigns, and persuaded companies to eliminate The worst abuses from their supply chains. This year, The Humane League secured 31 new commitments from companies to eliminate cages for egg-laying hens and to change The cruel practices endured by broiler chickens that are raised for meat. Many of these victories were due in part to The open wing alliance's restaurant report released this year that exposed The remaining international companies that refused to commit to eliminating cages from their supply chains. In 2022, The Humane League had its first major win in japan. As a result of our efforts, toridoll, a japanese holding company with worldwide restaurant brands, has announced their commitment to source 100% cage-free eggs in all of their stores globally by The end of 2030. Continuing to hold corporations accountable in 2022, The Humane League pushed 52 corporate targets to make meaningful progress on their cage-free commitments, including chain restaurants quiznos, red robin, and black bear diner that are reporting progress on their respective commitments to stop sourcing eggs from caged hens. Hellofresh, The world's largest meal kit company, released a new roadmap for how it plans to fulfill its 2019 promise to join The better chicken commitment. The open wing alliance released its cage-free fulfillment report for 2022, which found that 88% of all cage-free egg commitments with deadlines of 2021 or earlier have been fulfilled. Building our movementour movement is expanding globally via The open wing alliance (owa), which has grown to a coalition of 95 partner organizations in 67 countries. The owa awarded $2.1m in grants to fund The work of 40 member organizations in their institutional cage-free and broiler welfare campaign work around The world in 2022.
