Veganuary, the month-long pledge that has resulted in millions of people becoming vegan for the month of January, is here again. Established in 2014 in Britain, it has already become the most important event in the global vegan calendar, with an estimated 25m people worldwide signing up for the 2024 Veganuary pledge.

Anyone committing to the pledge will avoid all animal products (flesh, milk, eggs etc). They will also ensure that any products they are buying (cosmetics, clothes etc) do not contain animal products nor have they been tested on animals.
