Equalia NGO achievements in animal welfare
Since 2018, we have secured commitments from more than 30 food companies and supermarkets to improve animal welfare standards.
If you want hens not to live in cages, or chickens not to live in overcrowded conditions, you share our mission.
We make your voice heard by major supermarkets.
Large supermarket chains advertise that all their products are animal welfare compliant.
But are they? At Equalia, we make sure that supermarkets commit to real, scientifically proven animal welfare standards.

ADVANCES IN ANIMAL WELFARE THANKS TO OUR INITIATIVES
INICIATIVE FOR THE LAW OF VIDEO SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS IN SLAUGHTERHOUSES
Equalia suceeds in making Spain the first country in the European Union to have video surveillance cameras in slaughterhouses.
This initiative has been possible in part by grants from the Animal Charity Evaluators, Open Philanthropy Project Fund and Pollination Project.
PROGRESS ON THE CAGE-FREE HENS EGGS INITIATIVE
Following meetings with Equalia, Carrefour has published its commitment to use exclusively cage-free eggs from 2025.
This initiative has been possible in part by grants from the Center for Effective Altruism, Pollination Project and the Open Philanthropy Project Fund.
PROGRESS ON THE EUROPEAN CHICKEN COMMITMENT INITIATIVE
This initiative has been possible in part by grants from the Center for Effective Altruism, Animal Charity Evaluators and the Open Philanthropy Project Fund.
In collaboration with Equalia, El Corte Inglés becomes the first supermarket chain to join the European Chicken Commitment in Spain.
PROGRESS ON THE ANIMAL WELFARE IN AQUACULTURE
After a year and a half's worth of collaborative work with animal welfare organizations, the scientific community, aquaculture producers and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Equalia, among these organizations, have been able to create the first-ever Fish Welfare Guidelines for Spanish Aquaculture.
This initiative has been possible in part by grants from the Center for Effective Altruism, Animal Charity Evaluators, the Open Philanthropy Project Fund and Eurogroup for Animals.
