About
The Center is the first non-profit animal welfare organization that focuses on influencing the conduct of corporations to forge a humane economic order.
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.
