Commitment to the ethical treatment of animals at CVS Pharmacy

At CVS Health, our purpose of helping people on their path to better health guides us in all we do, including the products that we sell in our CVS Pharmacy stores. We have a long-standing commitment to the ethical treatment of animals as it relates to our business.

In 2008, we affirmed a “no animal” testing policy and we work closely with our store brand suppliers so they adhere to our company policy that no store brand products are tested on animals during the product development process. We also offer a number of cruelty-free makeup products and cruelty-free skincare products at CVS Pharmacy.

In 2015, we announced a commitment to source 100% cage-free eggs across our retail chain by 2025. We achieved this goal at the end of 2022. 

We also collaborate with organizations committed to animal health and safety. Since 2020, we have worked with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) on a public service announcement campaign to CVS Pharmacy customers to promote the dangers of leaving animals in hot cars.
