Supporting companies that have ethical and humane practices, which can help promote a more compassionate and just society.
Helping to ensure that the workers who produce the products are treated fairly and have access to good working conditions and fair wages.
Contribute to the global economy in a positive way, by supporting companies that engage in ethical business practices.
Buying cruelty-free products is also better for the environment, as many companies that engage in animal testing also use harmful chemicals in their products.
