SUSTAINABILITY

Chicken

Updated 25 June 2025

European Chicken Commitment

We have joined the European Chicken Commitment to support higher animal welfare standards in poultry farming and are committed to continuous improvement in this area.

We are currently working closely with our producers to fully implement the ECC standards by the end of 2026. We anticipate meeting around 40% of the requirements by early 2026 and achieving full compliance by the end of that year.

In addition,  across global markets we offer our guests meat-free chicken alternative to promote more sustainable and ethical consumption choices.

We expect to have implemented approximately 40% of the initiative’s requirements by early 2026.

Eggs

Updated 26 June 2025

Back in 2018, Vapiano made a commitment to sourcing 100% cage-free eggs globally by the end of 2024. While the majority of our markets were already using  cage-free eggs as standard at that time,, we are now pleased to report a 39% increase in meeting this standard.
This means that 25 out of 26 of our markets are using Cage-free eggs.

We have only one country to verify and we are working with our partners and suppliers to clarify the position as soon as possible

Packaging

The iconic red and white packaging Vapiano use in most global markets is a reusable containers which we encourage guests to keep and reuse for home use.
