Initial Sourcing Assessment

Sustainable Solutions Group assesses your meat, dairy, and egg sourcing against widely-accepted animal welfare criteria to provide a Summary of Progress and Recommendations for incrementally more responsible sourcing that will delight customers, please shareholders, and satisfy NGOs.

Farm animals are excluded from the U.S. Animal Welfare Act and poultry are excluded from the federal Humane Slaughter Act (95% of animals eaten) which has led to identification of widely-accepted animal welfare criteria and 3rd party certifications.

With Dr. Temple Grandin as our advisor, we measure these widely-accepted welfare attributes while delivering recommendations that become your Responsible Sourcing Roadmap.
