The International Egg Commission (IEC) has a varied work programme, designed to support egg businesses to develop and grow by fostering collaboration and sharing best practice.

Avian diseases pose a continuous threat to the global egg industry and wider food supply chain. The IEC showcases best practices in biosecurity, and raises awareness and understanding of the latest global developments in avian influenza vaccination and surveillance.

The egg is a nutrition powerhouse, containing most of the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants required by the body. The IEC shares ideas, resources and scientific research to support the global egg industry to develop their own nutritionally focused strategies and programmes.

The egg industry has made tremendous gains to its environmental sustainability over the past 60 years. The IEC champions continuous development and improvement in sustainability across the global egg value chain through collaboration, knowledge sharing, sound science and leadership.
