Asia’s first carbon-neutral cage-free egg
Charoen Pokphand Foods’ (CP Foods) cage-free egg brand, U Farm, has achieved a milestone, becoming Asia’s first-ever carbon-neutral cage-free egg.
The company’s egg business unit has been actively minimising environmental impacts, such as installing automated egg conveyors, reducing food loss, utilising eggshells more efficiently, and adopting alternative energy sources like solar panels and biogas systems in layer farms and egg production processes.
As a result, 23 categories of fresh egg and cage-free eggs received certification with the Carbon Footprint Reduction Label or Global Warming Reduction Label. In 2022, these 23 global warming reduction egg products contributed to a reduction of 617,000 tons of CO2 equivalence.
The company’s U Farm brand had previously received the Global Warming Reduction label from Thailand’s Greenhouse Gas Management Organization. This year, additional measures have offset any remaining emissions through carbon credit purchases.
