The Animal Essentials Human Rights Policy
At Animal Essentials our goal is not only to produce quality products from the best ingredients available, but also to support the people and ecosystems from which each ingredient is sourced. We believe in a concept of holistic wellness and healing that encompasses all elements of nature and the condition of all creatures, large and small. From this perspective we realize that each recipient of our products will be influenced by the health of the environment, and the health of the communities and the cultures from which each ingredient is derived.
While environmental sustainability and the ethical practices of bringing our ingredients from field to market are at the forefront of how each supplier and raw material we employ is selected, we also require that our supply chain assures that the economic, social, political, cultural and civic rights of the people who produce each ingredient are free from want and fear. We believe that all human beings, indigenous or foreign, are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood, as should we--- because the goodness of such act will benefit every downstream user of Animal Essentials products. To this end, we fully recognize the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
