What is the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals®?
Launched in 1996 by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics, the Corporate Standard of Compassion for Animals® is an internationally recognized non-animal testing standard. Companies that adopt this standard pledge, as of the date of compliance, not to conduct or commission animal tests, and not to use any ingredient or formulation that is tested on animals. While many ingredients, formulations and finished products have been tested on animals in the past, the standard is designed to prevent future animal testing.
Developed by the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics’ (CCIC) Leaping Bunny Program, it is a voluntary pledge that companies make to not test on animals during any stage of product development. The company’s ingredient suppliers make the same pledge and the result is a product guaranteed to be 100% free of animal testing as of the fixed cut-off date. Click here to read the Standard.
