Business Ethics Ethical claims
This company has extensive ethics claims on its website in the areas of strict procurement standards. "We go to exhausting lengths for our products to be mindful on many levels, not only free from toxins and all synthetic preservatives and fragrances, we have been vegetarian from day one and are 98% vegan, we also avoid products made overseas where there is an adequate Australian-made alternative, and excess packaging."
