2009 Entry Details

Join our 2008 and 2007 award winners by becoming a Good Egg next year. You might already be cage-free in your egg supply, sourcing only barn or free-range eggs. Or, you might be planning to go cage-free in your egg supply by 2012. Either way you could be eligible for a Good Egg Award and we’d love to talk to you about it.

All we need you to do is contact us as soon as possible to express your interest and we can talk you through what we'll need. We'll even come and see you if you like.

The awards are open to well-known or notable food retailers, food manufacturers and food service operators (including the catering operations of well-known or notable companies) based in Europe. Deadline for nominations is February 2009 and the award ceremonies will be held in Brussels and London in Spring 2009.

'Becoming a Good Egg Winner is so easy and makes so much sense - winning an award isn't the reason to use free-range eggs in all our products but a happy by-product. Good animal husbandry and welfare standards are a must, and attaining these for your business is an easy, hassle free process these days. In this day and age there is really no excuse.' Nicki Fisher, Sustainability Manager, Pret A Manger.

Animal welfare is a priority for McDonald's and we first introduced free-range eggs to our menu 10 years ago. Initiatives such as the Good Egg Award recognise and reward progressive behaviour and demonstrate to both industry and customers that responsible actions can also make good business sense.’ Matt Howe, Senior Vice President, McDonald's UK
