Glamorgan CCC is delighted to confirm the venue catering team has been awarded a Good Egg Award by Compassion in World Farming in recognition of their commitment to laying hen welfare.
Compassion's Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards recognise food companies that are making it their policy to produce and source higher welfare eggs, meat and dairy produce.
Compassion has run its flagship scheme, the Good Egg Award, since 2007 to celebrate organisations that source only cage-free eggs. The programme has now expanded to include the Good Chicken Award, launched in 2010, the Good Dairy Award in 2011 and the Good Pig Award in 2012.
Over 287 million hens, chickens, pigs and dairy cows and calves are now set to benefit each year as a result of award winners' policies.

Glamorgan head chef John Chapman said: The quality of the products we use in our kitchen is really important in making sure that our food is of the highest possible standard. We're committed to ensuring that we use regional produce whenever possible to support local farmers and give our customers a true taste of Wales.
Tracey Jones, Director of Food Business at Compassion in World Farming said: It is so great to see Glamorgan taking animal welfare into consideration as part of their sourcing policy. Higher welfare produce isn't just the responsibility of the large corporations, but something that can be achieved at all levels. Well done to Glamorgan - keep up the good work!
This is the latest in a series of awards for Glamorgan CCC's catering team who have also previously awarded the Cardiff Council Silver Healthy Options Award for catering. Find out more about the unique event in the heart of Cardiff at www.TheSSESWALEC.com
