The Egg Farmers of Canada Way

Egg Farmers of Canada believes in the inextricable link between public trust and business success. We

nurture our acceptance nationally, and in the broader international community—not just because it is

the right thing to do but because it bolsters our aspirations of profitability and enhanced socio-

economic development.

Legitimacy with our stakeholders and customers drives us each and every day. We respect and

honour the public trust we have been given to operate our industry under the system of supply

management. Everything—from operations to policy development to governance—is approached

with the utmost regard for: the communities, environment and society in which we operate; the

well-being of our animals; and the health, safety and satisfaction of the millions of Canadians who

enjoy and depend upon our product every single day.
