Species-appropriate, environmentally benign and responsible
Product quality and food safety are of key importance to us. But this is not all. Sustainability must also be guaranteed - with regard to animal welfare, environmental protection and social aspects. We therefore join forces with our suppliers to consistently improve our performance in the areas of ANIMALS, CLIMATE and PEOPLE.
Animal welfare
No compromises are made when it comes to the treatment of animals. We only want to import meat from animals that are kept, transported and slaughtered sustainably and in a manner befitting their species. We regularly visit the farms in the countries of origin in order to assess their animal welfare standards. In our analyses, we compare local husbandry practices to the minimum requirements of Swiss animal welfare legislation. We note both the aspects that exceed these requirements and those that fall short. We provide all customers with transparent reports on the results. Producers who fail to meet our requirements are excluded as suppliers.
