ANIMALS ARE SUFFERING UNDER LAURA’S WATCH.
Why Is Laura Miller Profiting From Animal Cruelty?
Laura Miller is a Board Director with Ahold Delhaize, a supermarket conglomerate known for its U.S. chains Giant, Stop & Shop, Hannaford, and Food Lion.
Under Laura’s leadership, Ahold Delhaize is neglecting a serious animal cruelty issue. In the U.S., Ahold Delhaize sources the vast majority of its eggs from controversial battery cage facilities where chickens are confined in cages so small that they can barely move. Ahold Delhaize has promised stakeholders for years that it would ban battery cages, but it was all talk.
Laura has the power to push for change. She would rather collect the check and look the other way.
HOW CAN SOMEONE IGNORE SUCH HORRIBLE CONDITIONS?
Battery cages like those above are banned in numerous states and the entire European Union. McDonald’s won’t even use them. Ahold Delhaize promised over the last decade it would stop using them, but it was all talk.
Laura’s affiliations would be wise to distance themselves.
Laura is yet another rich executive atop the corporate ladder. She is a retired Macy’s executive and previously held positions at InterContinental Hotels Group and TD Ameritrade. She is now a board director at NCR Voyix in Atlanta, cashing in over $270,000 a year for the board seat. She’s also been involved with the Technology Association of Georgia and Inspire CIO.
Standing with Laura means ignoring concerns of animal cruelty. NCR Voyix, for example, publicly states in its corporate governance guidelines: “Ethical behavior and corporate social responsibility bring significant benefits to our business and protect and enhance our reputation.” Laura’s reputation is clearly at odds with NCR’s stated values.
It may not just be animal welfare that stakeholders should be concerned about, either. Learn more here.
CUSTOMERS DESERVE BETTER STANDARDS.
A survey of Ahold Delhaize customers found that 85 percent opposed caged hen housing, preferring that hens be kept in open barns. The survey also found that the company’s labeling is misleading to a significant portion of its customers, who incorrectly believe eggs with certain labels at Ahold Delhaize stores are cage-free. This confusion and potential mistrust put the company’s brand reputation at risk.
It’s clear Ahold Delhaize’s customers expect the company to transition to 100 percent cage-free — and that their loyalty depends on the company sticking to its word.
