flag Asian firms improved sustainable protein sourcing but still lag global standards, with no company reaching top tiers and urgent action needed for 2030 UN goals.

flag Asian food and retail giants are improving sustainable protein sourcing but still trail global standards, according to the 2025 Asia Responsible Protein Benchmark. flag Average scores rose from 9% in 2023 to 16% in 2025 across 100 major companies representing over $500 billion in market cap, with 80% showing year-on-year progress. flag Strengths include climate action, labor, and waste management, driven by regulation and investor pressure. flag However, governance, protein diversification, and disclosures on deforestation, animal welfare, and antimicrobial resistance remain weak, with no company reaching the top two performance tiers. flag Only one firm met higher-welfare standards. flag Experts warn urgent action is needed to meet 2030 UN sustainability goals as Asia’s protein demand grows rapidly.
