PETA-Approved Vegan
PETA-Approved Vegan certification is awarded free of charge to companies in order to highlight clothing, accessories, furniture, and home decor items made of vegan alternatives to animal-derived materials, such as leather, fur, silk, feathers, and bone.
Companies use it to better emphasize their commitment to animal rights and vegan fashion, i.e. animal-free products. To receive the logo, companies must complete a questionnaire and sign a binding declaration of assurance. A license agreement is then concluded with PETA for individual vegan items or for the entire company. The logo helps consumers identify vegan items at a glance while shopping and make purchases that align with their values.
