University's free-range egg policy wins welfare award
A NOTTINGHAM university is a winner in the Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards.
The University Of Nottingham has won the Good Egg Award, which celebrates companies who use only cage-free eggs or egg products.
Since 2006 it has been the policy of the university to buy only free-range eggs.
Karen Knight, commercial business manager in the university's commercial services department, said: "Both students and conference organisers alike recognise the importance of obtaining food from ethically-sound suppliers.
"With more than 20 catering outlets across the university we are delighted to receive the Good Egg award and feel that it is a true recognition of the University of Nottingham's commitment to ongoing responsible food sourcing."
The awards, run by Compassion in World Farming, recognise companies that are committed to implementing substantial changes and for making progress in their sourcing of meat, eggs and dairy products.
