We currently use 40 products on site; 31 products are confirmed as not tested on animals.

The remaining nine products are not cruelty free certified or we do not hold the relevant information as they are used by a contractor.

We are committed to supporting cruelty free alternatives and, where possible, we will be working with our suppliers to find cruelty free alternatives for these items.
