About Vegan Trademark Standards
In 1944 The Vegan Society created the word 'vegan' - their trademark is the authentic international vegan standard. Today, companies must pass the following criteria to be eligible for authentication:
- Animal Ingredients
The manufacture and/or development of the product, and where applicable its ingredients, must not involve, or have involved, the use of any animal product, by-product or derivative.
- Animal Testing
The development and/or manufacture of the product, and where applicable its ingredients, must not involve, or have involved, testing of any sort on animals conducted at the initiative of the manufacturer or on its behalf, or by parties over whom the manufacturer has effective control.
- Genetically Modified Organisms
The development and/or production of genetically modified organisms (GMO) must not have involved animal genes or animal-derived substances. Products put forward for registration which contain or may contain any GMOs must be labeled as such.
These strict guidelines set down by the Vegan Society guarantee no animal products or by-products have been used in the manufacture of your Earth shoes. This includes the uppers, innersoles, and outer soles.
Every pair of Earth Vegan Shoes carries a Certificate of Authenticity from the Vegan Society
