Welfare Awards
Since 2012 we have been working alongside Compassion in World Farming (CIWF), an organisation passionate about ensuring farm animals lead better lives.
Our work with CIWF has introduced industry-leading animal welfare standards for our farmers’ pigs including:
- Considerably more space for each pig
- Larger breeding facilities for each sow
- Free farrowing
- No pigs are subjected to tail docking or teeth clipping
Through our accreditation programmes our farmers also now win awards. In 2018 we received a prestigious Special Recognition Award at the Compassion in World Farming (CIWF) Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards.

Good Pig Award
The Good Pig Award recognises the work we carried out with Fumagalli for breeding sows and meat pigs. Throughout the partnership we have been able to address the major issues of confinement, mutilation and a lack of stimulating environment.
