About the data

This sub-metric is used to evaluate the metric : ""6.1 Animal welfare policies and management""
With this metric we aim to show and compare the management of the main distributors in Spain with regard to the treatment of animals, focusing mainly on the following aspects:

- The communication of a specific and comprehensive policy on Animal Welfare.
- The requirements to their own brand suppliers

- Their requirements on the animal treatment of their non-food products.
- Their offer of eggs not from caged hens
- its policy on common malpractice (premature death of male chickens)
- Its initiatives to encourage the reduction of meat consumption
- Their offer of products free of animal abuse (vegetarian, organic).
