Philippe has no courage.
When you purchase a coffee from Costa Coffee, you might be unknowingly supporting the use of eggs from hens confined in cramped wire cages—conditions so inhumane that the birds suffer broken bones and live amidst filth. This practice continues while CEO Philippe Schaillée earns a substantial salary.
Costa Coffee has pledged to transition to 100% cage-free eggs by 2025, but their lack of transparency raises concerns about their progress. CEO Philippe Schaillée could end this cruelty, but he has remained silent.
Demand that Philippe stands by his word and that Costa Coffee fulfills its cage-free commitment immediately.

THE Disgusting TRUTH ABOUT BATTERY CAGE EGGS
-
Hens in cages suffer from limited space and restricted movement, which prevents them from engaging in natural behaviors and leads to high stress and frustration. Studies also indicate that caged hens have higher rates of Salmonella, a leading cause of foodborne illness and are more prone to disease than hens in systems that allow for greater mobility and expression of natural behaviors.
-
Each hen in a battery cage is given only 67-86 square inches of space—less than the size of a sheet of paper—leaving them unable to spread their wings or move naturally.
-
Caged hens are unable to perch, nest, dust-bathe, or forage, causing severe psychological distress and unnatural, repetitive stress behaviors.
-
Wire cage floors cause painful foot disorders, overgrown claws, and open lesions, while sloped designs lead to chronic discomfort and injuries.
-
Battery cages deny hens their natural behaviors, such as scratching, nesting, and foraging, leading to chronic stress, frustration, and harmful repetitive behaviors.
-
To maximize egg production, caged hens undergo forced molting by withholding food and water, causing severe stress, feather loss, and long-term health issues, including paralysis and death from dehydration.
-
Caged hens are subjected to constant artificial light to extend egg-laying periods, disrupting their natural cycles and contributing to bone fragility and overall poor health.
-
While the EU banned battery cages in 2012, Costa Coffee continues to serve caged eggs. Costa Coffee customers deserve better. The animals deserve better.
profit over progress
Costa Coffee promotes values of sustainability and progress, but if they truly lived by those ideals, they would fulfill commitments made to their loyal customers. In 2019, Costa pledged to transition to 100% cage-free eggs by 2025. Yet leadership remains silent on progress. Customers are demanding action. And hens are still suffering in cages.
