What Sinergia Animal does

Sinergia Animal is a Vienna-registered nonprofit animal protection organization founded in 2017, operating across the Global South in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, and Thailand. With 11–50 employees, the NGO pursues a corporate-engagement advocacy model that combines supply-chain campaigning, investigative reporting, policy advocacy, and consumer education to reduce farmed-animal suffering. Its core programs include cage-free egg campaigns with multinational food and hospitality groups, the Nourishing Tomorrow plant-based meal initiative (4 million meals annually), the Bank for Animals financial-sector accountability report, and investigations conducted in partnership with We Animals Media.

The organization is funded through philanthropic donations and deploys staff across regional chapters to engage corporate decision-makers in target supply chains — eggs, broiler chicken, pork, and aquaculture. Corporate partners and commitments secured include Cargill, IKEA, Colombina, Chatrium, Banyan Tree, Minor Food, Minor Hotels, ONYX, Best Western Thailand, Tesco Lotus Thailand, Nestle, Unilever, Kraft Heinz, Mondelez, Sodexo, Compass Group, and CP Group. Strategic alliances with the Open Wing Alliance, AFFA, Certified Humane, Shifting Values, S3F, and We Animals Media extend coalition reach. Leadership includes Carolina Galvani as CEO/Managing Director and Saneekarn Rasmanee as Thailand Managing Director.

In 2024, the organization reported 1,489 media placements (a 92.63% year-over-year increase), 7 investigation reports, 67 public campaigns, 11 banks that improved policies following the Bank for Animals report, and 5,320 healthcare professionals trained across 17 countries. Its Cage-Free Tracker reports 49.28% progress in Latin America and 80.76% in Asia. The organization has held ACE StandOut top-performer recognition for seven consecutive years (2018–2024).
