Investor briefing on the EU animal welfare consultation

Webinar: Investor briefing on the EU animal welfare consultation. 

On 10 September 2025, BBFAW, alongside its partners FOUR PAWS and Compassion in World Farming (CIWF), hosted a dedicated investor briefing on the ongoing European Commission (EC) consultation initiative titled ‘On-farm animal welfare for certain animals: modernisation of EU legislation’.

The consultation represents the most significant opportunity in decades to revise EU farm animal welfare laws, with potentially far-reaching implications for food companies, farmers, consumers, and investors.

The webinar covered:

• The background to the consultation and what happens next
• The implications of a transition to cage-free farming
• Opportunities for investors to contribute to the process

If you weren’t able to attend, please do review the briefing summarising the key content from the session to catch up on the insights shared. The briefing document can be found here:

We also encourage investors to review and consider signing a joint investor letter to the European Commission that reinforces support for ambitious legislation and highlights the importance of a level playing field.
