And the winners are…

A total of 59 award winners were recognised this year, including our main awards for hens, broilers, dairy cattle, pigs and rabbits, our Chinese Producer Awards, our 2018 Marketing and Innovation Awards and the prestigious Special Recognition Award. Our 2018 Award winners alone are set to improve the lives of over 200 million animals each year.

29 producers from China were recognised for the great work they are doing to improve the lives of pigs, hens and broiler chickens, through our China Production Awards. An astounding 180 million animals are set to benefit from all of this year’s Chinese winners’ commitments and practices.

This year, Winterbotham Darby was awarded our Special Recognition Award which is kindly supported by the Sir Peter O’Sullevan Charitable Trust.

Since 2014 our Food Business team have been working closely with Winterbotham Darby to promote higher welfare practices in the pig sector across Europe. They have developed a unique Gold, Silver, Bronze animal welfare certification scheme for their continental meat suppliers which is driving welfare improvements and helping to secure cage-free commitments across their European supply chain.
