The Vegan Society is a registered charity and the oldest vegan society in the world. It was founded in November 1944 in the United Kingdom by Donald Watson and a group of non-dairy vegetarians who felt that the Vegetarian Society did not adequately represent their views. The society is headquartered in Birmingham, England.
History
The Vegan Society was established in 1944 by Donald Watson, who coined the term "vegan" to describe individuals who abstain from all animal products. The society was formed to promote a lifestyle that avoids the use of animal products for food, clothing, or any other purpose. The founding members were motivated by ethical concerns regarding animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and health benefits.
Objectives
The primary objectives of The Vegan Society are to:
- Promote the benefits of a vegan diet and lifestyle.
- Provide information and support to individuals interested in adopting a vegan lifestyle.
- Advocate for the rights and welfare of animals.
- Encourage the development and availability of vegan products.
Activities
The Vegan Society engages in various activities to achieve its objectives, including:
- Publishing educational materials and resources on veganism.
- Organizing events and campaigns to raise awareness about veganism.
- Certifying vegan products through the Vegan Trademark.
- Collaborating with other organizations to promote animal rights and environmental sustainability.
Vegan Trademark
The Vegan Society introduced the Vegan Trademark in 1990. This trademark is used to certify products that meet the society's standards for being free from animal ingredients and testing. The trademark is recognized internationally and helps consumers identify vegan products easily.
Publications
The Vegan Society publishes a quarterly magazine called The Vegan, which features articles on veganism, recipes, news, and interviews. The society also produces various leaflets, booklets, and guides to support individuals in their transition to a vegan lifestyle.
Membership
Membership in The Vegan Society is open to anyone who supports the society's objectives. Members receive a subscription to The Vegan magazine, access to exclusive resources, and discounts on vegan products and services.
