Hilton announces changes to food supply chain
One of the world’s largest hotel chains is eliminating the use of cages for egg laying chickens and gestation stalls used in swine production from its global food supply chain. Hilton Worldwide made the announcement in conjunction with the Humane Society of the United States earlier today.
The changes would apply to all hotels in the Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, Canopy, and Double Tree brands. All hotels will be required to switch all egg usage to cage-free by December 31, 2017 and all pork products must be purchased from suppliers that do not use gestation stalls by December 31, 2018. The changes will initially apply in 19 countries where products are currently available and will be adopted in additional markets as supply comes online.
Jennifer Silberman, vice president, corporate responsibility for Hilton Worldwide says the company is committed to addressing key issues through its business and supply chain.
More than 2,000 restaurants are under the Hilton Worldwide umbrella.
