People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

The largest animal rights organization in the world, with more than one million members and supporters, is dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals. Companies that have joined PETA’s Caring Consumer Project have pledged—in writing—that they and their suppliers do not conduct or commission animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products, and that they will not do so in the future.

Outside/In displays PETA’s cruelty-free bunny logo to assure our customers that we do not use or condone animal test. For more information, please visit www.caringconsumer.com.

Campaign for Safe Cosmetics

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is a coalition of women’s, public health, environmental health and consumer-rights groups. Their goal is to protect the health of consumers and workers by requiring the health and beauty industries to phase out the use of chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and other health problems, and replace them with safer alternatives.

Outside/In has signed the pledge demonstrating that toxic chemicals are unnecessary to the chemical make-up of products and value on providing customers with safe, high quality products.

Breast Cancer Action Montreal

Breast Cancer Action Montreal (BCAM) is a non-profit activist/advocacy group directed by women who have been sensitized to the trauma of breast cancer (affecting themselves or someone close to them) and who are committed — long-term — to erasing the disease.

The focus of breast cancer research must move beyond its current emphasis on treatment to also embrace a serious search for the causes of the disease and its prevention. BCAM promotes and supports the adoption of the Precautionary Principle as a guideline for action. The Precautionary Principle is a safety-first premise that states that, when there are reasonable scientific grounds for believing a process or product may not be safe, even when cause-and-effect relationships are not fully understood, preventive action must be taken. www.bcam.qc.ca
