Industry Representation
The IEC is recognised by and actively engaged with leading international and inter-governmental bodies as a representative of the global egg industry.
Through our international representation programme, we are taking significant steps to strengthen relationships with key bodies and represent egg producers at the highest level.
Why is this important?
Global advocacy: Ensure the egg industry’s voice is heard at an international policy level and enhance IEC’s ability to influence decisions that affect our industry.
Promote credentials: Champion the egg as a nutritionally powerful, sustainable and versatile food source in global food security and nutrition discussions.
Clear commitment: Demonstrate that the egg industry is taking animal and human health seriously.
Societal responsibility: For the good of hens, people and planet.
Global standards: Ensure that any global standards, codes and best practices that are developed for responsible production, are practical, likely to have the desired effect and able to be implemented by the egg industry in a sustainable and safe way.
Crisis management: Enable better coordination for disease control and outbreak responses.
