what we do
The Center is the first non-profit animal welfare organization that focuses on influencing the conduct of corporations to forge a humane economic order.
We need not accept the idea of routine cruelty in agriculture, entertainment, wildlife management, or any other part of our economy and culture. Together, by adopting new standards through political channels and reinforcing what business leaders are doing and ready to do, we can create a new normal when it comes to our human relationship with animals.
— Wayne Pacelle, The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers Are Transforming the Lives of Animals
Our Campaigns
Our campaigns help alleviate the suffering of companion animals, farm animals, and wildlife. We advocate for policies to stop forms of malicious cruelty and systemic forms of animal exploitation.
