An international shame.

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 Schaillee 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.

Demand that Costa Coffee fulfills its cage-free commitment immediately.

FROM CAGES TO COSTA

Eggs from chickens

abused so badly,

it’s illegal

Battery cages—wire cages where hens spend their lives in spaces smaller than an A4 sheet of paper—are banned or phased out across the EU, New Zealand, Canada, and multiple U.S. states like California and Massachusetts due to their inherent cruelty.

Yet Costa Coffee, the second largest coffee shop in the world, continues to profit from this barbaric practice. Costa is prolonging the suffering of animals. It’s time they finally end this horrific practice globally.

Cutting Corners on Animal Welfare

Costa Coffee’s esteemed brand conceals a supply chain where hens endure the misery of battery cages, all to cut costs—while CEO Philippe Schaillee receives substantial compensation.
Profits Over Progress

Despite pledging to source only cage-free eggs by 2025, Costa Coffee has yet to provide transparent updates on its progress. Customers and animals deserve better. The deadline approaches, and we will hold Costa accountable.
Hypocrisy in Action

While Costa Coffee complies with cage-free regulations in regions like the UK, it continues to source from battery-cage systems elsewhere, demonstrating that profit—not ethics—drives its delayed global commitment.

SHARE THE SUFFERING

Costa Coffee doesn’t care about you.

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.
