The Co-operative Group has become the first retailer to be awarded the  
British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection’s (BUAV) new cruelty-free  standard 
for household products. 
The BUAV’s new Humane Household Products Standard is the world’s only  
reliable and international standard for household products that are not tested  on 
animals. 
The Co-op has one of the most stringent policies on animal testing of any  
retailer and guarantees that none of its own-label household products or  
ingredients have been tested on animals by the Co-op or its suppliers since  1997. 
Co-op cosmetics and toiletry products already carry the BUAV Humane Cosmetics 
 Standard “bunny” logo and the Co-op, which was one of the first to commit 
to the  independent cruelty-free criteria, is prominent in its backing of 
National  Cruelty-Free Week (Monday 5th July to Sunday 11th July) as part of this  
commitment.

I am the  voice of the voiceless;
Through me the dumb shall speak,
Till the deaf  world's ears be made to hear
The wrongs of the wordless  weak.
