Every vegan we speak to has a story to tell about a struggle they’ve had at work. Some of them are minor, others are distressing. Many are unlawful. And almost all of them were completely avoidable.
We know that the instinctive reaction from non-vegan employers might be something like the title of this article. If you’re curious, we’d like to tell you why we exist and why we think you should care.

Becoming a Vegan-Inclusive Workplace may seem daunting, but rest assured, it's often easier than you think.

We know that employers care about purpose not just to benefit the bottom line, but because it is the right thing to do. This means taking good care of their employees and ensuring that the workplace is a safe and respectful place where everyone can thrive.

Vegan inclusion in the workplace isn’t just ‘nice to have’, it’s a legal requirement. Businesses that don’t comply with the law will be in breach of legal duties and could face costly and damaging litigation.

Consumers care about how you treat your staff, and a clear purpose improves innovation and workplace retention.

Young people are increasingly likely to be vegan compared to previous generations, and they are also more likely to leave a job if they feel their values don’t align with their employer’s. Don’t give them a reason to leave over something simple to rectify. It could just be a matter of putting a carton of oat milk in the fridge.
