This Standard

No exploitation means no exploitation of any animal (human or non human) in the growth, production, testing or delivery of a product. Systemic considerations are as important as direct consequence and that is why Palm Oil certifications are here along with Vegans and the humane management of an animal's farm life.

'No Exploitation' refers to
1) Fair trade - ensuring workers in the supply chain are paid fair wages and work under fair, healthy conditions.
2) No animal exploitation - in the growth, development, testing or delivery of a product including deforestation to grow plantations such as palm oil.
3) Farmed animals - are free range according to law or the defined credential
4) Vegan products - fall in line with vegan principles, which abstain from the use of animal products in both diet and lifestyle. Businesses who are committed to veganism believe that animals should not be killed for the use of humans – to be eaten, worn or used as part of furniture or construction.
