Lagardère Travel Retail commits not to use any cage egg by 2025

Lagardère Travel Retail commits not to distribute, throughout its whole worldwide network, any product containing egg or egg product, produced by hens raised in cages, by 2025.

This decision, taken in unison by all the Group’s subsidiaries, concern all the restaurants and points of sales operated by Lagardère Travel Retail, in railway stations and airports, in Europe, North America, the Middle-East and in Asia-Pacific.

‘’This decision shows our commitment to provide our customers with products of the highest possible quality. Lagardère Travel Retail thanks The Humane League for their perseverance that has been instrumental in significantly improving the conditions in which animals are raised.’’

Alexandria Beck, Manager, Open Wing Alliance, declared:
“Open Wing Alliance member organizations applaud Lagardere Travel Retail for committing to eliminate cruel cages from its global supply chain. As a pioneering global leader in the travel retail industry, this policy to source exclusively cage-free eggs will set a new standard for the travel industry worldwide.”
