A field visit conducted in November 2025 to an egg farm whose operators stated they supply Marriott properties has documented conditions that raise serious animal welfare and hygiene concerns.

In 2018, Marriott committed to sourcing "100% of eggs from cage-free sources throughout the company's global operations for all owned, managed and franchised properties by the end of 2025."
As the deadline approached, the company issued no updates on its cage-free transition despite repeated requests. With no response forthcoming, the Indonesia Network for Compassionate Animal Farming (INCAF) and partner organisations began conducting field visits to egg farms across Asia.

At a farm whose operators claim to supply to Marriot properties, the following conditions were documented:
Eggs stored directly on the floor, surrounded by dirt, feathers and excrement
Swarms of flies around birds and their food
Accumulated faeces on and underneath cages
Dead birds discarded around the facility
Birds with severe eye injuries or blindness
Birds crammed into dirty wire cages
Poor access to water
"Marriott claims to 'Serve Our World' as a core value. What we documented at this farm raises serious questions about how that value is being upheld in practice," said Frank Kembuan, Director of INCAF.
The visit is part of a broader Asia-wide movement, with organisations across multiple countries working together to promote transparency and accountability in fulfilling cage-free egg commitments, including China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam.
Marriott has not confirmed whether this farm is part of its current supply chain. The findings in this release are based on statements made by farm operators and field observations conducted by the campaign team. Marriott was approached to verify, respond, and engage constructively prior to publication.
