Veganism is becoming increasingly common, not just as a personal dietary choice but as a deeply held belief that shapes many aspects of human life, from what people eat and wear to where they choose to work. As more people embrace a vegan lifestyle, a growing number of employees are asking questions about how their beliefs are recognised at work. Do vegan employees have legal protection? Can they ask for vegan options at work events? Are they allowed to challenge the use of animal products or animal testing in company practices?

The short answer: yes, in many cases they can. But as always, the reality is a little more nuanced.

This guide explores the current legal position on veganism in the workplace, what rights are protected under UK employment law, and what employers can do to support a more inclusive and ethical working environment.
