The U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Poultry and Eggs (RSPE) announced that the supply chain sustainability assessment document can be included in sustainability programs by producers of chickens, turkeys and eggs.

The U.S.-RSPE Sustainability Framework has been in development for more than four years and included public comment and eight supply-chain pilot assessments.

The poultry value chains will commence in 2022 with data from 2021.  This will be used to create a report on supply chain sustainability and form a baseline for comparisons in future years.  The Framework is constructed to be scalable to be adopted by companies in their sustainability programs.  Subsequent evaluation will demonstrate strengths and weaknesses and identify areas for improvement.
