Sinergia Animal is an international animal-protection NGO founded in 2017, based in Brazil, active in eight countries across Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay) and Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand). It targets the Global South—where factory farming is expanding fast and which lays about 80% of the world's eggs. Its methods are multi-layered: drawing out cage-free and pig gestation-crate abolition through corporate dialogue and pressure, spreading plant-based food at schools and elsewhere, exposing conditions through undercover investigations, and via 'Banks for Animals' pressing over 20 banks to review financing of factory farming. Since its founding it has drawn out over 190 corporate pledges (Zen Group went cage-free at 300+ stores in six countries), reaches roughly 113 million animals a year, has pulled about $46 million from factory farming, and provides 2.6 million plant-based meals a year. Animal Charity Evaluators has recommended it for seven straight years.

Main narrative
One person’s story (N1)
+ A single story
In Asia, where factory farming is expanding fast, laying hens are confined to cages. Through Sinergia's year-long campaign, the major restaurant chain Zen Group announced a shift to cage-free eggs at 300+ stores in Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines and Japan. With over 190 corporate pledges since founding, it reaches about 113 million animals a year.

- Confirming pledge fulfillment (implementation) in emerging markets; advancing pig and fish welfare; results of engaging financial institutions; embedding plant-based; refining effect estimates against counterfactuals.
A second look
The plus is a welfare-improvement effect on farm animals—chickens, pigs, fish—in the Global South where factory farming is expanding (Animals), recommended by ACE for seven straight years with high cost-effectiveness of about 53 hens/dollar, and with novelty in a previously thinly covered region (the Global South lays about 80% of the world's eggs, yet cage-free pledges were only 24% before 2020, jumping to 51% after, partly driven by Sinergia and others). Caveats: like The Humane League, as advocacy the effect is indirect with a counterfactual debate, and founded recently in 2017, verification of pledge 'fulfillment' in emerging markets is still in progress. Recognizing the strong rating and Global South novelty but with fulfillment verification in progress, B/medium.

How to read this assessment
- Reachable upper bound (ceiling): a confirmed − sets the ceiling, and independently verified + decide the position within it. + do not cancel out −.
- The weight of evidence is not symmetric: only confirmed − are counted; the volume of disputes or allegations goes under “Watching.” + are counted from independent evidence, while an organization’s own PR is treated as “reference.”
- Size is not value: scale is not used in the assessment. Matters that stay within money or competition—investors, shareholders, sanctions, trade secrets—are also excluded.
- The letter (assessment) and certainty (how reliable the information is) are separate axes.
This is a translation; the Japanese version is authoritative. The assessments here are generated automatically by AI based on published criteria. The operator does not alter individual results. Because they are AI-generated they may contain errors, and they are opinion and commentary, not statements of fact. Where evidence is insufficient, the entry is marked “On hold.” Requests for correction are accepted via the form.
Terms: Narrative Value = an assessment (A–G) of the distance between the narrative an organization tells and its reality / Ceiling meter = a visualization of the reachable upper bound / Watching = unconfirmed matters not counted / Protected stakeholders = people, animals, nature, and future generations. | Generated by: AI | As of: 2026-Q3 | Back to top
