Posted By Nataly on September 6, 2009
Be Genki has been granted accreditation by Choose Cruelty Free (CCF) – an independent, non-profit organisation which actively promotes a cruelty-free lifestyle.CCF acknowledges that none of the Be Genki products and none of the Be Genki product ingredients have ever been tested on animals by it, by anyone on its behalf, by its suppliers or anyone on their behalf.I am so delighted that Be Genki has been recognised and acknowledged by such a highly respected company – Choose Cruelty Free. We are very conscious at Be Genki to ensure that all aspects of the business are carried out in an ethical manner and as time goes by I am constantly looking at ways in which we can reduce our impact on the environment, explains Sam Sample (Be Genki founder).Animal testing is one of those practices that just simply should not be. It is not necessary to ensure consumer safety and there are many other testing procedures that can be carried out that do not harm animals. Why companies still havent employed these cruelty-free methods puzzles me.Hopefully consumers are becoming more aware of how powerful their choices can be. Instead of blindly shopping for products at the supermarket, I strongly urge consumers to be conscious shoppers and read labels to see where their dollar is going and what it is supporting.Only buy products that have not been tested on animals. Look out for the Choose Cruelty Free logo. By purchasing only approved cruelty-free products, you reward those ethical companies which do not make profits by testing upon animals and voice your opposition to the cruel and unnecessary practice of animal testing used by others.Choose Cruelty Free is designed to:~ Encourage manufacturers and service providers to adopt a cruelty-free ethic.~ Survey companies which claim to sell products that have not been tested on animals and do not contain cruelly-derived ingredients and accredits (without charging a fee) companies which satisfy CCF’s criteria. Accreditation criteria is probably the most stringent in the world today. Accreditation and listing in the Preferred Products List (PPL) are free of charge. The PPL is a booklet listing companies and brand names that operate under a cruelty-free ethic, providing consumers with information so they can choose products according to their personal ethical standards.~ Make available (by way of a licensing arrangement) an independent, consumer recognised logo which manufacturers can incorporate in their labelling and advertising material to readily identify their companies as cruelty-free.~ Make people aware of their power, as consumers, to change attitudes about testing products on animals.
