Partners introducing themselves


How can you actively contribute to the Initiative?

As a consumer

As a customer of one of our retail or gastronomy partners, you should be able identify which meat comes from an Initiative Tierwohl farm. This is the purpose of our seal on poultry products and increasingly on pork products. By purchasing a product with our label, you’re showing your interest in improving animal welfare.

As a farmer

Improve the conditions for animals on your farm. If your farm participates in the Initiative Tierwohl, you are obliged to comply with criteria that go beyond the legal requirements. The financial expense incurred by this is compensated by the Initiative Tierwohl, meaning that your competitive advantage is not affected.

How the funding works

Livestock owners that participate in the Initiative Tierwohl receive cost compensation from their direct customers for the additional expense incurred by the implementation of the animal welfare criteria. They pass this additional cost along the value chain to the retail and gastronomy sectors.
