Is Laura Miller Neglecting Animal Cruelty Concerns?
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. This practice is so unsafe and inhumane that it is illegal in many U.S. states and the entire European Union. Ahold Delhaize has broken promises to concerned stakeholders and neglected to publish concrete action plans for phasing out these inhumane products.
It’s time for Laura to take a stand against this cruelty.
Laura’s affiliations would be wise to distance themselves.
Laura is a career executive with decades of experience. She is a retired Macy’s executive and previously held positions at InterContinental Hotels Group. She holds leadership positions with several organizations, including NCR VOYIX Corp, Technology Association of Georgia, and Inspire CIO.
Standing with Laura means ignoring concerns of animal cruelty. These companies have been informed of Laura’s failure to act responsibly as a director with Ahold Delhaize. Now it’s time for them to speak out publicly, condemn these practices, and distance themselves from Laura’s irresponsible leadership.
Laura’s company is misleading its customers.
A recent 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.
