THE LEAPING BUNNY DIFFERENCE

The Leaping Bunny Programme provides the best assurance that a product is free of animal testing. In order to become Leaping Bunny approved, brands must comply with requirements in place that go beyond current laws. Specifically, companies must: •Adhere to a fixed cut-off date, an unalterable date after which neither the brand nor any of its suppliers and/or manufacturers may conduct, commission or be party to animal tests. • Set up a Supplier Monitoring System to ensure all their suppliers and manufacturers comply with Leaping Bunny criteria. Be open to independent audits to ensure their Supplier Monitoring System adheres to the Leaping Bunny Standard. •Renew their commitment to the Leaping Bunny Programme annually.
