The policy will see the restaurants at the Regent Taipei switch to sourcing cage-free eggs by 2026, with all restaurants under the Silks Hotel Group to transition by 2030 to improve animal welfare.

Regent Taipei’s specialty restaurants – the Gallery Lounge and Robin’s Steakhouse and Teppanyaki – have already transitioned to free-range eggs from New Dawn Care Farm, where hens are cared for by people living with physical or intellectual disabilities.

The policy was jointly announced by the Silks Hotel Group, the Environment & Animal Society of Taiwan (EAST), and the Taiwan Mennonite New Dawn Educare Center.

The announcement closely follows Taipei Marriott Hotel declaring it is the first hotel in Taiwan to exclusively source cage-free eggs and milk awarded EAST Certified certification.
