AWO: Transforming Animal Welfare in Europe

The Animal Welfare Observatory (AWO) has solidified its leadership in the fight for the rights of animals raised for consumption. With a clear mission to eradicate intensive farming and improve the living conditions of animals, the organization has achieved significant milestones that are changing how the food industry approaches animal welfare.

Avramar, the largest producer of sea bass and sea bream in Europe, has committed to implementing pre-slaughter stunning in its fish farms. This advancement not only improves the living conditions of millions of fish but also sets a new standard in the European aquaculture industry.

AWO has also worked intensively on awareness campaigns and institutional collaboration. The inclusion of animal welfare in the electoral programs of five political parties in Spain is evidence of the impact of their efforts. Additionally, agreements with major supermarket chains, such as Carrefour and Eroski, have helped improve the living conditions of millions of hens and chickens, contributing to real change in the industry.

Internally, the organization has implemented new policies for work-life balance and personal development, resulting in a 90% increase in team satisfaction. This focus on staff well-being has been key to maintaining effectiveness and commitment in the campaigns.

With a direct impact on millions of animals and a firm commitment to continue advancing, AWO relentlessly pursues its mission to transform the food system and eliminate animal suffering, proving that significant change in the food industry is possible.
