Procter & Gamble wants ultimately to eliminate the need for all animal testing of products and ingredients for human use. We use non-animal alternatives whenever possible. We are proud to be a leader in the funding of research and validation of alternative test methods. We work to speed up the approval of reliable non-animal test methods and eliminate regulations that require unnecessary animal testing around the world. At P&G, animal testing of non-food/non-drug ingredients and products is only carried out when required by law, or when there is no alternative test available to ensure the human safety of new ingredients or products. Our Commitment to Animal Alternatives We at P&G are proud of our leadership in the development and adoption of alternatives to animal testing. We are committed to making continued progress that can eliminate the need for animal testing in the future. --Mr. A.G. Lafley, Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Animal welfare is important to Procter & Gamble. We are committed to the ultimate elimination of laboratory testing using animals for products intended for human use. Procter & Gamble no longer uses animals in evaluating the safety of our non-food non-drug consumer products except when required by law. This has eliminated animal testing for about 80 percent of P&G's products around the world. Animal research may still be necessary to evaluate the safety of novel ingredients and new-to-the-world product types for which no validated non-animal tests are currently available. Whenever possible, we use research methods that do not require the use of animals, but it is not yet possible to replace all laboratory testing with non-animal alternatives. When animal use cannot be avoided, studies are carefully designed to maintain their scientific integrity while using the smallest number of animals. We make every effort to see that the animals are treated with care and respect. All animal facilities used meet the highest professional standards and comply with all government regulations on the care and use of animals in research. All animal research the Company sponsors at universities and other laboratories is reviewed to make sure each animal is given professional veterinary care and the facilities comply with all government regulations on the care and use of animals in research. We adopt new alternative methods as soon as they are scientifically and, when necessary, legally accepted. We are working with animal protection organizations and other companies to gain regulatory acceptance of alternatives on the fastest possible timing.
