Aviagen® Turkeys Ltd (ATL) is proud to announce that Anne-Marie Neeteson, Global Vice President of Welfare, Sustainability & Compliance for Aviagen Group, has been honoured with the British Poultry Council (BPC) Special Merit Award for 2019.
The award recognises Anne-Marie’s work in representing the industry on a global level to promote the causes of animal welfare and sustainable development. According to her award letter from the BPC, she has been “invaluable in progressing the science around these issues and helping the industry take a leadership role in addressing them.”
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the formal award presentation was postponed, but the BPC reports that it hopes to hold the event this year, and Anne-Marie will be formally presented with her certificate at that time.
“Anne-Marie is passionate about protecting the welfare of birds and advancing sustainability for the benefit of the planet, as well as our customers and the communities they serve. She works tirelessly, both at Aviagen and through her work with industry and welfare organisations, to implement continuous improvements that have a positive ripple effect on these causes. Anne-Marie is an asset to our team and to the wider poultry industry, and I congratulate her on this latest merit award,” commented Alfons Koerhuis, Chief Technical Officer, Aviagen Group.
In 2019, Anne-Marie Neeteson led the International Poultry Council (IPC) working group that adopted five of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as areas where the global poultry meat sector can make a difference. Again this year, as an active and longstanding member of the IPC and proponent of animal welfare, she was appointed as chair to an IPC working group on Animal Health and Welfare, Communication and Food Quality.
