Nearly Two-Thirds of Singapore’s Top Hotel Groups Now Have Cage-Free Egg Sourcing Policies, New Report Finds 

Nearly Two-Thirds of Singapore’s Top Hotel Groups Now Have Cage-Free Egg Sourcing Policies, New Report | Singapore — Singapore’s hospitality sector is emerging as one of Asia-Pacific’s most progressive markets for sustainable egg sourcing, with nearly two-thirds of leading hotel groups now pledging to source only cage-free eggs for their food operations, according to a comprehensive new assessment released by international NGO Lever Foundation. 

The 2026 Singapore Hospitality Industry Cage-Free Egg Scorecard evaluated the largest hotel groups operating in the country and found that 63% of these groups have pledged to source only cage-free eggs, thereby ensuring better animal welfare and enhancing food safety for guests. The scorecard assesses companies on a four-tier scale: A for 100% global implementation, B for a global cage-free egg policy with a timeline, C for a Singapore-specific policy, and F for no policy at all. 

Cage-Free Hens

“The widespread adoption of cage-free egg commitments across Singapore’s hospitality sector demonstrates the industry’s recognition of animal welfare, food safety, and sustainability as critical business imperatives,” said Vilosha Sivaraman, Sustainability Regional Director at Lever Foundation, which works with companies in developing sourcing policies. “With nearly two-thirds of hotel groups already committed to cage-free transitions, we’re witnessing a meaningful transformation in how the sector approaches responsible sourcing.” 

Capella Hotels & Resorts

Capella Hotels & Resorts earned an A rating for having already completed its transition to 100% cage-free egg sourcing across all global operations. An additional 17 hotel groups have set global cage-free egg policies that will be fully implemented in the coming years, earning a B rating. These include leading Singapore-based brands such as The Ascott Limited and COMO Hotels and Resorts, as well as regional and international brands operating in Singapore, including Dorsett, Marriott, Hilton, InterContinental, Hyatt, Accor, Mandarin Oriental, and Wyndham, among others. Shangri-La Singapore received a C rating for pledging to transition to 100% cage-free egg sourcing across its Singapore properties. 

However, not all hotel groups have set policies on this important food safety and animal welfare issue. Eleven hotel groups, representing 37% of those evaluated, have not yet adopted any cage-free egg policy and have received an F rating, including Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts, Frasers Hospitality, Far East Hospitality, Dusit International, Amara Singapore, Carlton Hotel Singapore, and Park Hotel Group.

Meal with Cage-Free Egg

“With the strong momentum built across Singapore’s hospitality sector, those groups without a cage-free egg policy are well-positioned to catch up with industry leaders and demonstrate their commitment to food safety and animal welfare. Lever Foundation is committed to providing guidance and resources to help Singapore hotel groups develop policies that work for their business while advancing animal welfare and food safety,” Sivaraman said. 

Cage-free eggs are laid by hens who can move around freely in barn or free-range systems and engage in natural behaviors such as feeding, laying, resting, dust-bathing, nesting, and flying. Dozens of peer-reviewed scientific studies have found that hens raised outside of cages produce eggs with far greater food safety, higher nutritional value, and quality. As awareness of these benefits grows, so does consumer pressure: a 2024 national survey by GMO Research found that 83% of Singaporean consumers believe food companies should source eggs exclusively from cage-free farms, with 69% more inclined to support brands making this commitment. An increasing number of consumers are also choosing to leave eggs off their plates entirely as the most direct way to help laying hens.
