Fur Free Retailer

Fur Free Retailer is the world’s leading program to connect fur-free companies to consumers seeking ethical goods. The online fur-free list provides consumers accurate information about a retailer’s fur policy, allowing them to make an informed choice when shopping.

Fur Free Retailer recognizes and supports retailers who have committed, in writing, to a no-fur policy. Most of all, the program aims to encourage companies to go fur-free and further the spirit of ethical consumerism.

The Fur Free Retailer program is recognized by the ISO 26000:2010 Guidelines to Corporate Social Responsibility as an example of sectoral initiatives.

Taking an ethical and public stand against fur fashion offers a company a chance to promote a public policy against violence and cruelty, and to lend its support to the international efforts to end this unnecessary and cruel fashion choice.
