Animal Welfare
Healthy birds, raised to a standard we can show you. Stocking density, lighting and litter conditions are monitored through every grow-out cycle and third-party audited at the plant.
Our StandardsMeeting the needs of today, while improving the ability of the next generation to responsibly meet their needs in the future. That is the standard we hold ourselves to — and moving frozen poultry across oceans means being specific about where our footprint actually sits rather than making broad claims about it.
Energy, water, packaging and fuel are the four places our business leaves a mark. This page sets out what PILGRIM'S PRIDE controls directly, and what we share with the processing and freight partners we work through.
Progress against each commitment is reviewed annually and reported to our supply partners. Where a figure is a target rather than an audited result, we say so.

Our StandardsWe know the farm behind every lot before it ships. A short list of approved plants, with feed origin, veterinary records and slaughter dates travelling with the consignment.
How We SourceCold storage is the largest energy load we carry. We are consolidating shipments into fuller containers and moving to higher-efficiency refrigeration as units reach end of life.
Our ApproachFair pay, safe lines and stable hours. We hold long-term relationships with the plants we buy from and the importers and distributors who build their businesses around us.
Our CommitmentWe share audit summaries, certifications and lot-level traceability documentation with active and prospective buyers, on request and without exception.
