This metric is part of Eticonsum's research study on the evaluation of companies in the Retail Food sector on environmental, social and ethical issues.
Eticonsum is a non-profit market research agency specialising in ESG (environment, social, governance) corporate performance applied to consumer insights.
We research and analyse the ethical market in the FMCG sector and evaluate the environmental and social performance of companies in order to help both conscious consumers to decide according to their values and companies to compete on ethical reputation.

With this metric we aim to publicise and compare the efforts of the main distributors in Spain in applying their animal welfare policy to their supply chain, focusing mainly on :

- carrying out audits and inspections of major suppliers
- support and training of suppliers on animal welfare
- animal welfare requirements for non-branded suppliers
