Sinergia Animal is an international animal protection organization that works to reduce the suffering of farmed animals in the Global South.[1] It was founded in Brazil in October 2017 by Carolina Galvani.[2][3] As of November 2026, it works in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Indonesia, Peru and Thailand.[4]
Sinergia Animal’s main programs are corporate campaigns for cage-free egg commitments, an institutional meat reduction program, and pig welfare work.[4] The pig welfare work includes Pigs in Focus, a ranking of Brazilian pig producers by their animal welfare commitments.[5] The organization has also run undercover investigations of farms in Latin America and Southeast Asia.[6] According to Animal Charity Evaluators, Sinergia Animal secured 51 new cage-free commitments between January 2024 and June 2026, covering about 1.7 million hens per year.[4]
Animal Charity Evaluators has listed Sinergia Animal as a recommended charity every year since 2018, most recently renewing the recommendation in November 2026.[4][7]
In February 2025, the charity evaluator Vetted Causes published a review arguing that Sinergia Animal had claimed credit for pig welfare commitments that were pre-existing, already legally required, or did not exist.[8] Sinergia Animal disputed most of these claims, while acknowledging an error in a spreadsheet it had shared with Animal Charity Evaluators.[5]
