Are you Supporting Animal Cruelty through your investments?
Animal testing is a cruel and inhumane practice that results in the suffering and death of hundreds of thousands of animals every year.
But did you know that your KiwiSaver could be inadvertently supporting this practice?
While New Zealand has banned animal testing for cosmetics, it is still common practice abroad. Many brands, including some of the world's most popular, still test their products on animals, and investigations show animals experiencing huge suffering as a result.
New Zealanders financially support foreign companies that test on animals through our investments, with billions of dollars investing in those companies across our KiwiSaver and investment funds.
Join us for our next seminar, as we talk through divesting from animal suffering with:
