ABOUT THE CAMPAIGNS

The Kroger Campaign run by the International Council for Animal Welfare (ICAW)

In 2016, Kroger pledged to stop selling eggs from caged hens. Six years later, it quietly abandoned that commitment — by 2022, the company had cut its target from 100% cage-free by 2025 down to just 70% by 2030, with no plan to eliminate cages entirely. The result: millions of hens confined each year to cages that give each bird, on average, less space than a sheet of paper. In response, an accountability campaign launched in May 2026, calling on Kroger to restore its original pledge and lay out a clear timeline for getting hens out of cages. The pressure has since expanded beyond Kroger itself to its board members and their outside affiliations. The first target: Amanda Sourry, a Senior Advisor and Executive Coach at Boston Consulting Group known for her sustainability work. As a Kroger board member, she's being held directly accountable for the company's rollback — and BCG is now facing calls to cut ties with her, so the firm isn't seen as complicit in the cruelty its own board member has enabled. We're going to join this campaign by protesting outside the BCG office in Oslo and hold their business accountable for their ties with the cruelty in Kroger's supply chain.

The LVMH campaign run by the Coalition to Abolish the Fur Trade (CAFT)

The fur industry is in steep decline globally: exports have fallen from a peak of $14.7 billion in 2013 to just $3.4 billion recently, EU fur farms have dropped from 4,350 in 2018 to 1,088 in 2023, and the sector now costs EU citizens an estimated €446 million a year once environmental and public health costs are factored in. Against this backdrop, LVMH — the world's largest luxury group — stands out as the industry's most valuable remaining backer: despite accounting for only a small share of the global fur market, its brands (notably Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Fendi, which was founded as a furrier) continue to feature fur prominently in their collections, and the company sent €300,000 to the International Fur Federation in 2024 to help fund the struggling trade, making it one of the sector's most significant financial and reputational lifelines even as rivals like Kering go fully fur-free. Activists all around the world are urging LVMH to cut ties with the fur industry and embrace a more ethical fashion. We're going to protest outside of the Louis Vuitton and Dior stores in Oslo to show solidarity to the international anti-fur movement and to make it clear, once and for all, that fur belongs in the past.
