Better Care Means Better Eggs
Healthy eggs start with healthy hens. Learn how quality feed, pasture access, and thoughtful care all work together to support hen wellbeing and the eggs they lay.
Our Story
Setting a higher standard for farming practices and animal care across an entire industry doesn’t happen without ruffling a few feathers—we squawk the squawk and walk the walk. Proudly B Corp Certified and Certified Humane, we were the first to pave the way for better and we’re still doing it best.
-
B Corporation Certified
In 2013, we became the first egg producers in the U.S. to receive B Corp certification, reinforcing our longstanding commitment to people and the planet while living our mission to bring better eggs to your table.
-
Certified Humane
As the first egg producers to seek and receive the rigorous and science-backed Certified Humane certification, we've paved the way for improved animal welfare conditions across the entire industry and inspired others to follow.
-
USDA Certified Organic
When it comes to producing our USDA Certified Organic eggs, every single step is part of a larger, all-natural, and sustainable ecosystem, from natural soil free from synthetic pesticides to nutritious, organically-grown feed.
2026 ESG Goals
-
Combat hunger
Support our long-standing partnership with No Kid Hungry, while making strides forward to combat the broader issue of nutrition insecurity domestically.
We’ll donate a minimum of 250,000 dozen eggs to our local communities, in addition to a minimum donation to No Kid Hungry that provides up to 1.5MM meals to children facing nutrition insecurity. We’ll also continue to use our Pete & Gerry’s Family of Brands’ social and digital platforms and partnerships to drive awareness and advocacy for the pervasive issue of childhood hunger and food insecurity in the U.S.
-
Climate Action
We’re committed to powering a more sustainable future by reducing emissions across our all of our operations, expanding opportunities to convert to clean energy at our facilities, and consistently assessing options to update our environmentally responsible packaging.
This year, we’re taking deliberate steps toward a future of 100% renewable energy at key sites, progressing our goal of a 25% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions in the next 5 years. Through ongoing evaluation, innovation, and investment in clean energy and efficient operations, we’re taking meaningful strides to lessen our footprint on the environment and help create a healthier planet.
-
Reduce Inequalities
Continuously assess and improve processes to ensure access to continued education, training, and development opportunities, driving progress relative to connectivity and cultivating a supportive, secure, and inspiring workplace environment.
In the spirit of our culture of community and inclusivity, we're piloting company-sponsored ESL classes that will provide equitable availability of language classes, assessing additional areas to evolve continuing education opportunities and build out leadership training, and growing and nurturing Employee Resource Groups driven by feedback from our Flock.
-
Life on Land
We’ll continue to push forward the Pete & Gerry’s founding mission: Healthy Hens, Healthy Eggs, Healthy Planet.
We’ll track and communicate the environmental and social benefits of the model we pioneered nearly 30 years ago, humane hen care on family farms, so shoppers are aware of the impact made with each egg purchase.
This year, we’ll grow acreage under our direct management by 6%, increasing pesticide diversion, reducing synthetic inputs in feed sourcing, and reinforcing our commitment to producing responsibly raised, sustainably sourced protein source in adherence with organic and certified humane standards.
-
Good Health and Wellbeing
Aligned with our internal focus of being “Healthy Together”, we’re deepening our efforts toward health and wellbeing across our flock.
This year, we’ll launch education first, non-stigmatizing wellness campaigns that encourage preventative care, normalize regular health monitoring, and provide resources to support our team, always protecting privacy and personal choice. Our commitment is to create a culture where everyone feels supported in taking proactive steps toward their mental and physical care.
