Animal Welfare and Anti-Cruelty Statement 2025

Beverley Kurt Holdings

1. Introduction

Beverley Kurt Holdings (“the Company”) is committed to the highest standards of ethical responsibility, compassion, and care in all aspects of our business. We believe that respect for animals is integral to responsible business practice and to the trust our customers place in us. This statement outlines our position on animal welfare and the steps we take to ensure that cruelty or unnecessary harm to animals does not occur within our operations, products, or supply chains.

2. Our Commitment

We have a zero-tolerance approach to animal cruelty. We are fully committed to ensuring that no animals are harmed, mistreated, or exploited in the development, manufacture, or testing of our products.

Our guiding principles include:

No animal testing at any stage of product development.

No sourcing of materials derived from inhumane or exploitative practices.

Support for cruelty-free and sustainable innovation across all brands under the Beverley Kurt Holdings group.

3. Our Supply Chains

Our suppliers and partners play a key role in upholding our ethical values. We require all suppliers to comply with our Animal Welfare Policy, which sets clear expectations on the humane treatment of animals and the avoidance of animal-derived materials unless responsibly sourced.

We work only with suppliers who can demonstrate that they:

Do not conduct or commission animal testing for cosmetic, personal care, or related products.

Maintain full traceability of raw materials to ensure ethical sourcing.

Adhere to recognised cruelty-free and sustainability standards (e.g., Leaping Bunny, PETA-approved, or equivalent).

4. Product Development and Testing

Beverley Kurt Holdings ensures that all formulations and finished products are developed using alternative testing methods that do not involve animals. These methods are scientifically validated and meet global regulatory requirements. We work closely with laboratories and research partners that share our ethical commitment to cruelty-free innovation.

5. Materials and Ingredients

We actively avoid the use of animal-derived ingredients where alternatives exist and support the use of plant-based and synthetic substitutes that meet our safety, performance, and sustainability standards. Where animal-derived materials are unavoidable (for example, certain naturally sourced components), we ensure they are obtained under strict welfare conditions and from suppliers who can provide full transparency.

6. Monitoring, Auditing, and Improvement

We maintain a continuous review of our supplier relationships and product formulations to ensure compliance with our anti-cruelty commitments. Suppliers found to be in breach of our policy will be investigated immediately, and non-compliance may result in suspension or termination of the partnership.

We are committed to ongoing improvement through research, education, and collaboration with cruelty-free and ethical certification bodies.

7. Transparency and Reporting

We believe in open and transparent communication about our animal welfare commitments. This statement reflects our current policies and practices and will be reviewed annually to ensure it remains aligned with evolving ethical standards and scientific advancements.

8. Approval

This statement has been approved by the Board of Directors of Beverley Kurt Holdings and reflects the Company’s continuing dedication to cruelty-free, ethical, and sustainable business practices.Beverley Kurt Holdings
