Grupo Girão, a Madeiran company with over 40 years of experience in egg production, has reached a historic milestone by becoming the first entity in the Autonomous Region of Madeira to obtain Animal Welfair certification for free-range egg production.

This international recognition validates the company's commitment to animal welfare, sustainability, and food quality, reinforcing its strategic investment in transitioning from cage systems to free-range production.
