About Lever Foundation
Lever Foundation is a global non-profit that focuses on creating a more humane and sustainable protein supply chain in Asia and beyond. We work with large food companies and suppliers to secure commitments to more sustainable and higher-welfare practices. Our partners include leading food and beverage and hospitality companies such as Burger King, Marriott, Jollibee, KFC, and many others.
In recent years, in response to increasing concern for sustainability and animal welfare, hundreds of food companies operating in Asia have set corporate policies to source only "cage-free" eggs, which are far more humane for animals and much higher in food safety.
Lever
Foundation has helped secure policies on this topic and other food sustainability topics, such as sustainable protein and plant-based foods, from over 250 companies in Asia and beyond.
