What Global Food Partners does

Global Food Partners (GFP) is a Singapore-headquartered management consulting firm founded in 2019 that specializes in science-based cage-free egg production and sourcing solutions for food corporations and egg producers across the Asia-Pacific region. The company addresses a structural supply gap in Asian cage-free eggs by advising multinational corporates on cage-free implementation roadmaps, supplier engagement, and procurement team training, while simultaneously providing technical consulting, on-farm training, and welfare certification support to egg producers transitioning from cage systems. Its service portfolio includes custom consulting engagements, the GFP Academy e-learning platform, Cage-free Innovation and Welfare Hubs in China and Indonesia, the proprietary Animal Welfare Benchmark Criteria evaluation tool, the WelfareProgress reporting platform for corporate cage-free commitment tracking, and the Impact Incentives program — a book-and-claim credit system (modeled on RSPO) that allows companies to offset cage-free commitments by purchasing credits from certified Asian producers.

GFP generates revenue through three principal streams: professional services fees from consulting engagements (typically multi-year and custom-priced), training and education via GFP Academy (with some free introductory courses), and a transaction-fee model through its Impact Incentives cage-free credits program. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct: regional consulting teams across Singapore, China, Indonesia, Thailand, and other Asian markets engage enterprise clients and producers in person. The company serves two primary customer segments — food corporations (including Compass Group, Marriott, Hilton, Accor, Club Med, Unilever, Mondelez, BWH, Super Indo, and Kellanova) and egg producers (70+ partners) — and is active across nine Asia-Pacific markets including Singapore, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Japan, India, and Malaysia. The firm has established board membership in the International Poultry Welfare Alliance and engaged with 8 Asia-Pacific governments on cage-free standards development, reinforcing its positioning as the connective layer between corporate demand, producer supply, certification bodies, and regulators in the regional cage-free transition.

Others

• FAIRR Initiative: Investor-led collaborative network focused on ESG risks in intensive animal agriculture, including cage-free commitments. Adjacent peer to GFP because it shapes institutional investor pressure on food companies to adopt the same cage-free policies GFP services.
• RSPCA Assured: UK-based farm animal welfare certification scheme under the RSPCA, providing assurance labelling used by food companies to communicate higher-welfare sourcing. Adjacent peer to GFP because it operates the certification layer that underpins cage-free claims in supply chains.
• Big Dutchman: Global poultry housing and equipment manufacturer whose equipment is used in cage-free conversions. Listed as a partner on GFP's website and adjacent to GFP because it supplies the hardware layer of the transitions GFP consults on.
• Open Wing Alliance: Coalition led by the Humane League that coordinates global corporate cage-free campaigns across more than 60 countries. Adjacent to GFP as a demand-side driver that creates the corporate commitments GFP monetises through consulting and credits.

Emerging players

• Humane Society International: Global animal welfare organisation that runs corporate cage-free campaigns and Foodservice Initiative for hen welfare across major markets. Directly comparable to GFP because it engages food companies on cage-free sourcing commitments and producer-level transition support, though with NGO rather than for-profit model.

Comparable to GFP in target customers (food corporates), policy advocacy focus, and producer engagement, though it operates as an advocacy NGO.
