Green Commitment
Who we are and what we do
Compromiso Verde is an organisation committed to the promoting more ethical and sustainable food through partnerships with companies, institutions and governments. We are facing one of the greatest challenges of our time: climate change. This global phenomenon will affect all living things, ecosystems and the health and well-being of billions of people, threatening our very survival. The current food system is unsustainable and devastating. Animal production alone accounts for approximately 20% of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, uses 8% of global water consumption and occupies one third of the world's available land, leading to deforestation, pollution and loss of biodiversity.
Our mission:
To inspire new practices and behaviours that eliminate cruelty to farm animals in Peru, allowing them to live freely and express their natural behaviours.
Our Vision:
To transform poultry production in Peru by promoting the adoption of cage-free practices through collaboration with local organisations, working towards a future free of animal violence.
Why Peru?
Some 29 million laying hens are reared in industrial conditions in Peru, with a per capita consumption of 304 eggs per year. The lack of adequate public policies for animal welfare is a major concern. Peru represents an important poultry market, which provides a solid basis for positively influencing animal welfare.
Our campaign, aligned with the principles of effective altruism, seeks to improve conditions for hens and promote a more ethical food system.

Paolo
Paolo came to the team after being rescued as an orphaned and sick pigeon. Since then, he has become a symbol of resilience and his presence reminds the team of the importance of not giving up, even when circumstances seem adverse. Paolo often stretches his wings and flies off in search of a more comfortable place, reminding us of the importance of ensuring that all birds live in the wild and have the opportunity to express their natural behaviours. Among his favourite activities, he enjoys spending time watching from the window and, without a doubt, his favourite thing to do is to relax by taking long baths.
