We work with large food companies and suppliers to secure commitments to more sustainable and higher-welfare practices. Our partners include leading hospitality and restaurant companies such as Marriott, IHG, Acoor, Burger King, and many others. In recent years, in response to increasing concern for sustainability and animal welfare, nearly a hundred food companies operating in India (and many more abroad) have set corporate policies to increase plant-based food offerings, which are far more friendly for the environment and humane for animals. Lever Foundation has helped secure policies on this topic and other food sustainability topics, such as cage-free eggs and animal welfare meat, from over 250 companies across Asia and beyond.
