一、动物福利指导原则

福利通常是指“个体动物所经历的生活质量”。从整体意义上讲，动物福利不仅包括动物的健康和身体健康，还包括动物的心理健康和表达自身重要行为的能力。ZOO COFFEE将“五项原则”视为在我们的供应链中解决农场动物福利问题的基础。

这些定义为：

1．使动物免受饥渴：为动物提供适当的清洁饮水和食物来保持健康与活力。

2．使动物免受不适：为动物提供适当的圈舍和舒适的栖息场所。

3．使动物免受疼痛、伤害和疾病：为动物做好防疫和及时诊疗。

4．使动物免受恐惧和精神折磨：为动物提供良好的条件和照顾。

5．使动物能够表达天性：为动物提供足够的空间，适当的设施以及同类的陪伴。

为了避免动物的痛苦和不良福利，满足这些原则至关重要。然而，越来越多的人认识到，为了让动物获得良好的福利和高质量的生活，它们有必要体验积极的情绪。因此，ZOO COFFEE也认可第六项原则，其定义为：

6. 使动物经历积极的体验——为动物提供适当的条件来体验积极的情绪（例如，感到满足、快乐、放松、兴奋）。

虽然具体做法各不相同，但我们所有的供应商都应遵守这些指导原则。并以此为基础，ZOO COFFEE将持续关注农场动物的生存状况，并为每个物种设定具体的承诺和目标。

二、承诺和目标

在ZOO COFFEE，我们承诺到2025年逐步淘汰使用笼养系统（包括组合笼和任何限制母鸡活动的系统）生产的鸡蛋。我们的承诺将适用于带壳蛋和蛋制品。我们将在行业内和公司内积极推广非笼养鸡蛋。我们将与供应商合作，支持他们向真正的非笼养生产系统转变，并逐步与更多的非笼养鸡蛋供应商建立合作关系。

GUIDING PRINCIPLES ABOUT ANIMAL WELFARE

Welfare generally refers to “the quality of an animal’s life as it is experienced by an individual animal”. In its holistic sense, welfare encompasses not only the health and physical wellbeing of the animal, but the animal’s psychological wellbeing and the ability to express its own important behaviour. ZOO COFFEE recognizes the Five Freedoms as the basis for addressing farm animal welfare within our supply chain. These are defined as:

1.Freedom from hunger & thirst by ready access to fresh water & a diet to maintain full health & vigour.

2.Freedom from discomfort by appropriate environment including shelter & comfortable resting area.

3.Freedom from pain, injury or disease by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.

4.Freedom to express normal behaviour by providing sufficient space, proper facilities & company of the animal’s own kind.

5.Freedom from fear & distress by ensuring conditions & care which avoid mental suffering.

Meeting these freedoms is essential in order to avoid suffering and poor welfare. However, there is increasing recognition and awareness that it is necessary for animals to experience positive emotions in order to have good welfare and a high quality of life.  Therefore, at Zoo Coffee we also recognize a sixth freedom defined as:

6. Freedom to undergo positive experiences - by providing appropriate conditions to experience positive emotions (eg. feeling contented, pleasure, relaxed, excited). 

While specific practices vary, all our suppliers should conform with these guiding principles. And grounded on those, ZOO COFFEE will continuously pay attention to the living conditions of farm animals and set specific commitments and targets per species.

COMMITMENTS & TARGETS

At ZOO COFFEE we are committing to phase out the use of eggs produced in cage systems (including combi and limited access systems) by 2025. Our commitment applies to shell eggs and egg products. We will actively promote cage-free eggs in the industry and within the company. We will work with our suppliers to support the conversion of their production to true cage-free systems and gradually estabish cooperation with more cage-free egg suppliers.
