BANGKOK, Thailand, June 25, 2026 — Chatrium Hospitality has completed its commitment to source only cage-free shell eggs across all its hotels and properties in Thailand, becoming one of the country's hospitality companies to fully adopt a cage-free egg policy. 

The company began the transition in 2024 and completed it in February 2026. Today, all shell eggs across its operations in Thailand are cage-free, demonstrating how corporate purchasing decisions can help improve conditions for farmed animals while encouraging more responsible practices throughout the food supply chain.

A growing shift in Thailand's hospitality industry 

Hotels and restaurants influence food production through the products they purchase every day. As more hospitality businesses choose cage-free eggs, they help create stronger demand for production systems that allow hens greater freedom of movement and encourage suppliers to expand higher-welfare farming practices.

For Chatrium Hospitality, the transition forms part of the company's broader sustainability strategy. According to the company, achieving the milestone required close collaboration with suppliers to ensure a reliable supply of cage-free eggs across all of its properties.

"At Chatrium Hospitality, sustainability is embedded in the way we operate across every dimension, from responsible sourcing and environmental stewardship to the meaningful experiences we aim to create for every guest," said Kanokwan Chamchoy, Director of Sustainability at Chatrium Hospitality. "Our transition to 100% cage-free eggs in Thailand reflects our commitment to supporting higher animal welfare standards and advancing the company's long-term sustainability goals." 

Why cage-free policies matter

According to Sinergia Animal, more than 50 million egg-laying hens in Thailand are still confined in battery cage systems. These cages severely restrict movement and prevent hens from expressing natural behaviors such as nesting, perching, dust bathing, and fully spreading their wings.

At the same time, growing consumer awareness of animal welfare and sustainability is encouraging businesses to review how food is sourced. For many companies, adopting cage-free eggs has become an important step toward strengthening procurement standards while reducing the suffering associated with intensive egg production.

Corporate commitments continue to expand 

Chatrium Hospitality's achievement adds to the growing number of businesses in Thailand that have adopted cage-free egg policies. Since 2019, Sinergia Animal has worked with companies throughout Thailand to support this transition by providing technical guidance and helping businesses implement cage-free commitments. 

Saneekan Rosamontri, Managing Director of Sinergia Animal Thailand, welcomed Chatrium Hospitality's achievement.

"This is a meaningful example of how corporate procurement decisions can be directly connected to improving animal welfare and advancing more sustainable business practices," she said.

"This achievement shows that cage-free egg sourcing is possible in Thailand and highlights the role that clear policies, supplier engagement, and transparent progress reporting can play in building a more responsible food system."

Sinergia Animal says it will continue working with businesses to encourage wider adoption of cage-free egg policies across Thailand's hospitality and food service sectors.

"We remain committed to working with companies to support stronger animal welfare standards in food supply chains. We hope this milestone will encourage more businesses in Thailand's hospitality and food service sectors to take meaningful steps toward responsible sourcing," Rosamontri concluded.

By supporting companies in adopting cage-free egg policies, the organization aims to help improve the lives of millions of hens while advancing a more sustainable and responsible food system.
