About the position

The goal of this position is to persuade major food corporations to fulfill their policies to phase out the use of animal products that originate from the worst forms of animal production systems, with a focus on intensive confinement practices. Our current ask in Asia is for companies to stop using or buying eggs from hens confined in cages. The successful candidate will be the main person responsible for contacting companies in the region that are already committed to going cage-free, starting conversations with them, and getting them to report on their progress. They will also lead campaign efforts to highlight companies that are making good progress and raise regional awareness about companies that are not progressing toward fulfilling their policies.

​
